Canadian Eskimo dogs have served nearly all the famous names in arctic and Antarctic exploration. Beautiful, proud, loyal and kind, the Canadian Eskimo Dog was historically a draft animal and all-around worker. The breed was used for sledding and packing, and also as a hunting dog for the Inuit. In some parts of the Canadian North, these dogs are still found sniffing out seal breathing holes or holding the polar bear at bay during hunts.
