Talk:American Eskimo Dog
From Academic Kids
Wow, what a great article. I can think of nothing to add or take away. H2O 03:19, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I also own one of these dogs and she is a great companion (in fact she is with me right now). H2O 03:21, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Well if you have a camera, one thing you could add is a better photo! The one we have isn't great quality. There are example photos on User:Sannse/Dogs (full view) (image intensive page). I'm not saying they are perfect ;) but they give an idea of the most informative pose. -- sannse (talk) 10:13, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- If I can get her cleaned up! One thing about white dogs, they do show the dirt, just like white carpet. She'd love to play the fashion model, though. H2O 11:44, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- I'd be afraid to touch that one for fear I might mess something up. Reminds me of the grooming jobs I see on sheep just before they're shown at the local fair. H2O 19:17, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
how about this photo (http://www.schneertz.com/yeti/fluffy.jpg)?
- Not bad. Is the photo yours or can you otherwise provide copyright info for it? Elf | Talk 19:12, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- The picture is mine, and it is copyright-free. --Joefutrelle 17:38, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Better than anything I have at this point. Mine won't cooperate. Always tucks her tail when I am trying to take her photo. Plus this one is a lot cleaner. H2O 17:55, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I'd go ahead and use this one, thanks! Go to Special:Upload to upload an image to Wikipedia. Please include your clarification that it's yours & copyright-free on the image page. Elf | Talk 03:41, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Actually, I realize this is not the best picture, because Yeti has her hair trimmed for an operation, and Eskies are not generally trimmed. --Joefutrelle 03:00, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
The American Eskimo dog that was in the bottom photo Image:Macheath-dog.jpg , does it need to have it eye area cleaned? The photo doesn't appear to be representative of the AKA preferred appearance for the breed. I've replaced the photo, but am starting this discussion here in case someone disagrees with my assessment! I don't mean to seem callous in removing a photograph. Any comments would be appreciated.
Cheers,

- It probably does need to be cleaned. In fact, that's a very good point for this breed so I readded the photo with an appropriate caption. I don't know whether we really need 2 photos of Eskies in the snow, though, especially uncropped like these are. Hmm, could we crop them both down closer to the dog? The white-white one camo'd for the snow is kind of cool and the other one is just a nice photo of an Amer Eskimo, so maybe they could both stay. Elf | Talk 00:09, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Thanks Elf... with your commentary I think it is definitely appropriate for the page. I agree with both of your thoughts about the snow and the cropping, so have cropped one of the two eskie-in-snow photos. The snow camouflaged pic is still available on the pics of dogs page.
