Are there any Poser American Eskimo dogs anywhere?

Sled Dogs come with Faveral's dogsled set; they're a bit lo-rez, but very easy on the system. I am not sure if that is an "eskimo" dog or not?

The real ones are much fluffier. Perhaps Tiny could do something about that, now that she's finished with the MilCat.

They'd probably be hard to have a Poser version of because they're mostly hair. I knew there wasn't one at any of the big Poser marketplaces, but there's so many smaller ones that I thought I'd ask.

I needed such a dog to pull my sled to capture an artifact before the bad guys did. I use the DAZ MilDog+morphs to get a sort of rotund looking Alaskan Malamute. I imagine that you can create real fur (P5 or P6) using the hair room or displacement mapping.

These dogs can definitely be done with "real hair". The more "fluff" the better. :o)

Down side of it is that I have just only started a little testing with the P4 dog (which looks promising BTW).
Don't even own the MilDog yet. And considering the time it took to "hairyfy" the cat... well when we all are in the old folks home... maybe...

When do you need it? Yesterday? ;o)

The American Eskimo is not a work dog. They're about two feet high at the shoulders and are a breed that mostly have been used as watchdogs, family pets, and circus dogs when they were brought to the US from Europe. In spite of the name, they're not Alaskan bred dogs or dogs that were used by Eskimos in any historical capacity. It seems that the name was given to avoid the more Germanic sounding "Spitz" name for the breed it came from. The name "American Eskimo" was adopted in 1917 when WWI was at its height The American Eskimo dog is not related to the types of dogs used to pull sleds. They're very cute fluffy pets.

you really do your homework rreynolds.. and they only come in one color, white :o) their fur is amazing, no matter how dirty (or in my case muddy) they get, upon drying, their right back to being snow white.. (at least I was amazed by this)

Actually, I had to look those things up. It's natural to assume that a dog called an "American Eskimo" is an Alaskan breed instead of a made up name that only has to do with the dog's white colors. Nobody can be blamed for thinking that it's a snow sled dog because that's the immediate image anyone will get with the name.
