Meet the breeder

I'm Crystal D., the breeder behind Northern Graces' located in Fairbanks, AK. Our dogs are bred for health, structure, and temperament with a focus on conformation, athleticism and intelligence. Whether you’re looking for a show ring dog, performance/companion dog (agility, fastcat etc) or a pet to hang out with, we work to match you with a dog for your lifestyle and goals.

Q. & A. with Crystal

Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the American Eskimo Dog Breed when my dad adopted one from a local family some 20+ years ago. Their intelligence, attentiveness to their owners and their desire to please are among my favorite traits. I started breeding in 2017. These dogs are made for colder climates and my early litters have flourished up here in Alaska. My litters now go anywhere in the nation or Canada.
What makes your program special?
I put my whole heart and sole into each breeding. All of our dogs live in the house with us. We work on early neurological stimulation, early touch and socialization throughout the litters development. We expose them to challenges to overcome and watch how they process through these challenges. This breed is highly intelligent and loves to please their humans and our litters are no different.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs

Blitzy, mom
American Eskimo Dog
About Blitzy
Blitzy excels at everything she does. Speedy at Fastcat. A beast on the agility course. It is common for her to take breed over males at conformation events. She loves life and wakes up happy and goes to bed happy. She loves to watch cartoons with her dad and loves to go to sporting events with her mom. Blitzy gets along with other dogs and thinks all humans are here on earth to pet her, including the 500 people in the Seattle airport she tries to entice to come pet her when we travel. Blitzy spreads joy and laughter everywhere she goes. She is the delight of our pack!

Northern Graces' reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for American Eskimo Dogs.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
