Although known as circus performers in the early 20th century, the American Eskimo Dog has never found a solid toehold in film. Unless you count Kevin. A minor sensation was caused in 2009 when the bizarrely named “Kevin” made a splash with movie-going public in The Proposal. Everyone wanted to know what breed that unbelievably cute puppy was. For a classic with an Eskie lookalike see The Lady with the Dog (1960), co-starring a German Spitz.

With a dog training school in the film you see dozens of dogs working in the background and doing agility. Unsure about a few of these, like the Silky that could be a large Yorkie. The Akita might be a mix. And the ungroomed bunch of Havanese might also be something else. A few of these, like the Malamute and Doberman, only appear in the credits.
