About
The Greenland Dog is one of the world's oldest breeds, used since ancient times by the Eskimo peoples for hauling and hunting, and bred above all for strength, stamina and endurance. A powerful polar spitz standing 60cm or more in males, it shows formidable hunting ability against seals and polar bears. Energetic, mentally strong and tirelessly enthusiastic, it is friendly even to strangers and thus unsuited as a guard dog, but ideal for outdoor-loving owners who can meet its enormous exercise needs.
