OUR BREEDING PHILOSOPHY

What do we stand for? Where do we want our breeding to take us?

Like most of the other Greenland Dogs breeders in Norway we feel the most important issues are our dogs temper and health. We all know that this is decisive for developing the qualities we need in a good working dog, which is especially important for those of us who are active users of the dogs. We primarily think of our dogs as sled-dogs, but also as pack dogs and hiking companions in the summertime. These are also important reasons for why we settled down in a place like the gateway to Femundsmarka.

For us it is also an absolute requirement that the dogs are able to function well in a family with small children and together with strangers, both children and adults.

It is also important to us that dogs from our kennel “look like” Greenland Dogs. Our goal is well built dogs that are in accordance to the official breed standard. Several dogs from our kennel have reached Champion titles at dog shows in addition to being hardworking sled dogs.

Dogs from our kennel are working dogs, which mean that we only sell dogs to outdoor people. Single persons or families who enjoy outdoor life both in the summer and winter are from our point of view ideal Greenland dog owners.

When we sell our puppies we always write a sales contract with the buyer.

Keeping dogs is meant to be pleasurable as well as useful, whether you are interested in outdoor life or not. Most people will be able to find a breed to suit their needs. A polar dog will be more of a nuisance than a pleasure if the owner does not have a possibility or wish to utilize the polar dog’s qualities as working dog.

We have chosen Greenland Dogs because we are active outdoor people and look upon the Greenland Dog as being the ideal touring dog, both summer and winter. It has a wonderful temperament and has become a natural part of our life.

At the moment we have 9 Greenland Dogs and one Samoyed Dog.
