The Greenland Dog Written by Katinka Mossin

 

THE GREENLAND DOG is one of the most original breeds in the world today. It still has all the characteristics necessary to live under extreme, cold weather conditions with little food and hard work.

It is a strong breed with very little sickness and faults. You seldom find a Greenland dog who does not want to work for his food. A strong dog with a simple mind; that is how I know the Greenland dog.

The Greenland dog is good at communicating; it has more "words" than most other "cultivated" breeds. This makes it easy to understand, both for humans and other dogs.
_____________________________________________________________________________
- Do you like to be in the mountains? Are you often outdoors in wintertime? Do you want someone to keep you company and pull your baggage? Then a Greenland dog can be the best dog for you.

- Are you not THAT extreme, but you like to be out in the forest and nature, perhaps with your whole family? The Greenland dog can still be a good dog for you.

The Greenland dog is a friendly companion, modest and easily satisfied if;

- You understand its need for care and human contact
- You let the dog exercise its body properly, minimum once every week
- You give it obedience training

The Greenland dog needs an owner who define clear limits for accepted behaviour. When this is done well, the dog will remember.
