Eskland
American Eskimo / Shetland Sheepdog
Hybrid
The Eskland is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the
American Eskimo and the
Shetland Sheepdog. The best way to
determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross
and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in
either breed. This hybrid cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid
Club. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs
being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to
breed multi-generation crosses.
"Shelby is a Sheltie/American Eskimo
mix, shown here at about 2 years of age. She is a very sweet dog and is almost
attached by the hip to me 24/7. Sometimes it seems she has
separation anxiety as she
becomes somewhat neurotic when I leave her. She is also a bit timid around
strangers, she will shy away sometimes when people reach down to pet her. She's
also very smart! I taught her to sit, shake, high five, stay and lay down when
she was about 6 months old and it took very little time for her to catch on. She
responds to both verbal commands and hand gestures. She loves the snow. She also
loves to fetch and almost play soccer! When she catches things I've tossed
to her she seems to use her front paws to assist in her catch incase the object
misses her mouth. She usually sleeps in my bed every night although sometimes
she will sleep in her crate which I folded an old comforter into that she chewed
up as a pup. She obeys commands such as "go get it" (ball/toy) and will also go
find a toy when I say "where's your toy?". She loves to play. I live in an
apartment and when I cannot make it home in time for potty walks, she has been
trained to go on some newspaper on my balcony."

is full of energy and quite feisty with our older dog, a full bred American
Eskimo. She is very smart and learns easily when motivated by food. I would
recommend this cross as long as you have the time to invest."
