The american eskimo can be a service dog. They are very nice and easy to train.
I have an American Eskimo. Yes, they can be wary of strangers, but if the dog is well socailized when they are a puppy this shouldn't be a problem. My dog is extremely intelligent, and very eager to please, plus she is so adorable. Another plus is their fur never gets that smelly dog scent and the dirt doesn't stick to it. The only thing about my Eskie is she is a little yappy, especially if someone she doesn't know comes to the door, but I kind of consider this a good thing. She has never, ever snapped at anyone. I would go for it, just make sure the dog has been socialized pretty well, the dog will be a cinch to train. Good luck.
Eskies need to be trained properly otherwise they train you. They are so cute that at times you tend to forgive their bad behaviour which becomes a prob. They can be nippy but they certainly are yappy. They are good guard dogs but also need grooming. Would you be able to do that consistently ?
