Breeders differ somewhat on the origin of the breed. According to the official version, the American Eskimo Spitz was bred in North America at the beginning of the last century. Cynologists believe that Samoyed Laikas were used in breeding dogs, which were brought overseas in 1913 together with the Great German Spitz. The dogs were brought to the continent by emigrants from Austria and Germany. Americans fell in love with funny pets.
