Mark Threlfall

Respect (05/26/2009): This year I celebrate my fortieth year of active participation in the sport of dogs. That might sound like an eternity to some, like a pittance to others. To me, it signifies that I’ve chosen the life that I love, and I still love my choice.

American Eskimo

Recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1913, the American Eskimo is a member of the ancient and wide ranging Spitz family of dogs. White Spitzes were popular in Pomerania and in the coastal regions of Germany. Sailors traded the white dogs throughout Europe. When Queen Charlotte of England acquired several white Spitzes, the dogs became fashionable among British aristocrats. White Spitzes appear in several Gainsborough paintings. Known as the German Spitz in its homeland, the breed was renamed the American Eskimo in 1917.
