History: The Eskipoo, or Pookimo, is a designer breed that's a cross between the American Eskimo and the Poodle. When it comes to designer dogs, there are not many breeds that have a well-documented history. Unfortunately, no one knows exactly when or how the Eskipoo came to be, but it was likely during the 1990s, which is when the designer dog trend began. Over the course of the following decades, the Eskipoo's popularity took off, especially due to it's low-shedding coat that it inherited from its Poodle parent. Today, the Eskipoo has been recognized by several designer and hybrid dog clubs.

Temperament: The Eskipoo is a cheerful and affectionate pup that thrives on being in the company of its family members. Aside from family, the Eskipoo gets along with just about anyone, including strangers, children, and other dogs. Due to their sociable nature, the Eskipoo does not do well when left alone for long periods of time. So, they're not a good breed choice for someone who is away from home often because they may become lonely and/or develop separation anxiety. Training-wise, Eskipoos love to please their owners and are very intelligent, so they don't have much trouble learning and following commands.
