Red the Canadian Eskimo Dog...
Canadian Eskimo Dogs are often thought of as Big Siberian Huskies.. But I assure you they are a very different breed...
There are less than 100 in the UK. Back in the seventies they were almost extinct with only about 200 left worldwide.. They were the breed used by the British Antartic Survey during the exploration of Antarctica, but with the introduction of the snowmobile most were culled - no longer required.. There is a very good book available written by Peter Noble, titled "Dog days on ice" giving a detailed history of these events - Well worth a read if youv'e nothing better to do..
Having previously owned a pair of Sibes (Siberian Huskies) I thought it would be a natural progression to get a CED.
They can be quite a handful to keep - very strong willed, some would say almost wild !!
Red is around 10 years old now, and age has not mellowed her one little bit !!
To this day I'm still not sure if she lives with me, or I live with her...
