Breeding of American Eskimo Dogs is a lot of work; all of our dogs have extensive testing done. DNA testing, genetic testing for inheritable diseases, OFA (Orthopedic Foundation of America) x-raying to verify there is no hip dysplasia, no luxating patellas, no elbow dysplasia. CAER testing to rule out any heredity eye diseases. All Sunstruck American Eskimos have or are in the process (due to age requirements) of getting their CHIC #. (Canine Health Information Center) 

Bitches undergo multiple hormone tests to determine the optimal time to inseminate. We do TCI fertilization,as this method, while expensive, gives each egg the best option for fertilization. Our females will have an ultrasound at about 4 weeks from date of ovulation to confirm pregnancy and then will have an x-ray about 3 days before delivery to confirm the number of puppies. Puppies are dual registered, both AKC and UKC, will be microchipped and will have their first set of shots before going to their new homes. Puppies are raised in a home environment and are provided age-appropriate neurological stimulation and desensitization along with puppy socialization to ensure each puppy goes to their new homes happy and well balanced. 

Our dogs currently show in both AKC and UKC in multiple venues: 

Conformation, Obedience, Rally, Lure Coursing, Scentwork, and Agility

Showing is expensive, but this highlights the versatility of the American Eskimo breed. If it is a dog sport- Eskies can do it, and do it very well, indeed.

A $300.00 deposit is required once an application is approved, and the balance of $2,000 is due when picking up the puppy. 

Puppies will be able to go to their new homes around 10 weeks old. I do not ship any puppies. If you are across the country, you will have to come get the puppy. 

We do not expect health issues with our puppies, but in the very unlikely case that your puppy is determined to be unhealthy in the first year, we will either replace the puppy or refund your purchase price. 

If for any reason, you are no longer able keep your puppy (or dog), we will take the puppy (dog) back. Under no circumstances is the puppy to be sold, given away, or turned into rescue without notifying Sunstruck American Eskimos. The puppy will come microchipped with Sunstruck American Eskimos listed as the alternate contact. This is not to be removed or changed. The safety and health of your new puppy is paramount.
