The Canadian Eskimo Dog or Canadian Inuit Dog is an Arctic breed of working dog. Other names include qimmiq or qimmit (Inuit language word for 'dog'). Although once used as the preferred method of transportation by Inuit in the Canadian Arctic, by the 1960s traditional working dog teams became increasingly rare in the North. Contributing factors to the breed's decline include the increasing popularity of snowmobiles for transportation and the spread of infectious canine diseases. Many of the solid coloured dogs have white mask-like markings on the face, sometimes with spots over the eyes. Others might have white socks and nose stripes with no eye spots or mask. Canadian Eskimo Dogs need a very large amount of exercise. The Canadian Eskimo Dog is best kept in a cold climate, and is prone to heatstroke.
