Some people think their dogs are "guy dogs" because they love to roughhouse. Many Eskie owners give the nickname Peskie to their Eskie because they tend to get into mischief. They need tons of attention and love to be with their family. Eskies do shed quite a lot and need daily brushing the best brush for an eskie is the FURMINATOR it works really really well. Eskie fur contains an oil that prevents dirt from collecting. Unless they are really really dirty they have no bad smell. Eskies only need a bath about twice a year because if they get more it could damage their fur.Eskies tend to love winter and love playing in the snow. They also love water! They are very rowdy but calm down quick. If you want an eskie go to your nearest rescue shelter for mixed breeds and they might have an eskie.
