Meet the breeder

I'm Carol N., the breeder behind Fissan American Eskimos located in Farmington, MN. ​FISSAN is dedicated to promoting responsible dog ownership, owner education, and training. Our foundation of dogs began with the Standard American Eskimos in 1988. Our dogs are bred for good temperaments, great conformation, wonderful companions, strong work ethic, and well put together show dogs.

Q. & A. with Carol

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have been a dog lover all of my life. In 1989 we purchased our first American Eskimo and were hooked. We joined local and national dog clubs, began to show and decided we wanted to help preserve this breed by responsibly breeding.

  • What makes your program special?

    I specifically breed for temperament in addition to health and structure. All my dogs have appropriate testing and I am a breeder of Merit- Bronze with the AKC. All puppies are temperament tested at 7 weeks of age and those tests along with buyer input help determine the best home for each puppy

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include mini and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white and biscuit and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Carol--Daario is a blessing and such a wonderful part of our family! He is doing well on potty training and sleeps mostly through the night. Daario loves to play and has many toys but his favorite toys are our shoes. He found his voice and how sweet it is to see him bark and be so happy and content in his new home. He even started to howl at the ambulance passing and sirens blowing. I have taken him for walks and started his training --it is a work in progress because he is very curious about the environment and animals passing us on our walks. He loves to clean up the lawn by picking up sticks and leaves. God Bless you Carol for bringing him into our lives and Indy and Stevie for giving him life. Blessings sent your way and to the staff and animal family!!! Planning to visit September 11th (my birthday) if everything works out and look forward to visiting--let me know the time you well be available--we probably will drive up in the morning of September 11th. Have a fabulous day and week. Tina, Daario and Mark
