History and overview
The Eskie is derived completely from the various German Spitz breeds (Pomeranian, Keeshond, etc.) The Spitz family of Nordic dogs is one of the least altered by human husbandry and reflects most nearly the prototypical dog, from which stock all others have been derived. Archeology suggests that Neolithic dogs living with humans would today pass for spitzen.
