The breed’s progenitors were German Spitz, but due to anti-German prejudice during the First World War, it was renamed to American Eskimo Dog. At some point, some other spitz breed (possibly the Japanese Spitz) may have been added (opinions vary).

Although modern American Eskimos have been exported as German Spitz Gross (or Mittel, depending on the dog’s height), the breed standards are actually significantly different. In addition to serving as a companion, it has been used as a watchdog, and also achieved a high degree of popularity in the 1930s and 1940s United States as a circus performer. They share a common resemblance with Japanese Spitz and Samoyed dog.
