Solid:

preferred but may have

to any extent. Though solid white is preferred, colour can never outweigh conformation. Thus, if a white and a biscuit dog with equal conformation compete against each other, the white dog shall win, but if the biscuit dog has better conformation, it shall win over the white dog.

Notes

No one knows exactly when and how the American Eskimo originated. However, the American Eskimo is one of the Spitz families of Nordic breeds, and is possibly related to the White German Spitz, Samoyed and White Keeshond. Evidence suggests that 'White Spitz' dogs were first brought to the United States by German settlers.
Some of the American Eskimo's talents are watchdogging, guarding, narcotics detection, agility, competitive obedience, and performing tricks.

The american eskimo should appear well balanced and proportionate, neither clumsy nor racy. The head is wedge shaped with erect triangular ears, the nose and eyes forming typical ''black points'' in the face. The neck is of medium length, blending into the shoulders with a graceful arch. The body is strong and compact, with the withers being the highest point of the topline. The back is straight and broad. The legs are muscular with compact oval feet. The tail is set quite high and carried over the back. The whole dog should be covered with a thick, fluffy coat. A thick ruff around the neck is preferred, and the coat is also longer on the hind legs and tail.
