******* WHO AND WHAT IS THE IDEAL ESKIE OWNER? *******



The ideal Eskie owner is someone who not only tolerates but enjoys having:

* A dog that approaches life with much more exuberance than most other dogs;
* A dog that's always underfoot and always wanting to know what you're doing;
* A dog that loudly communicates its opinions, wants, and needs;
* A dog that takes being a watchdog very seriously;
* A dog that doesn't take anyone or anything at face value;
* A dog that is more intelligent than most;
* A dog with problem-solving capabilities and a penchant for mischief and
creativity;
* A dog that constantly tests its owners;
* A dog that gets bored easily;
* A dog that sheds white hair constantly;
* A dog that always wants to be with its owner, sharing every experience of its
owner's life.

Most dog breeds aren't like this (or they certainly don't have ALL of these
traits), and most people can't cope with dogs like this.  So if you are an ideal eskie owner you are truly of a rare mold... a person who can handle and enjoy having a relationship with one of the most beautiful and intelligent dogs in the world.
