The Canadian Eskimo Dog is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a medium breed, typically weighing 18–40 kg as an adult. One of the oldest and rarest Arctic sled dog breeds, developed over centuries by Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic, this powerful, hardy breed is built for endurance, cold tolerance, and pulling heavy loads across snow and ice.
What this means for your Canadian Eskimo Dog
Hip dysplasia is seen occasionally given the breed's working build, so a change in gait as your Canadian Eskimo Dog ages is worth monitoring. As a working sled breed developed for extreme cold, the breed can struggle in warmer climates, so keeping an eye on heat tolerance is worthwhile.
As a rare breed in the UK, general veterinary experience with breed-specific issues may be more limited, so keeping thorough health records is especially useful.
When is a Canadian Eskimo Dog considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, medium breeds like the Canadian Eskimo Dog are generally considered senior from around 7 dog years old.
