Esqulmaux dogs are a curious race.
In appearance they are not unlike col
lies. but they carry their tails curlel
over their backs. and their bodies are
more thlck-sei than that OF the collie.
The true Esqulmaux dog has a curious
wild look about him which is not seen
In any other breed. Considering that
the slodge dogs are generally badly
used by their masters they are very
quiet and good-tompered. They viii
eat almost anything. but their iavoriie
diet Is fish. They are extremely hardy
and frequently do as much work In one
day as would last an ordinary dog for
week. One Of the peculiarties OF the
Esquimaux dog Is his feet He has no
short hair between his toes. There ii
reason for this. II the dogs feet
