Origin & historyThe Greenland Dog comes from Greenland. The FCI places it in Group 5 (Spitz & Primitive Types): breeds of ancient and northern types, bred for sled, hunting and watch work.
Grooming & careHigh: dense double coat sheds heavily. Brush often and never shave it, as the coat also shields from sun.

Some breeds and their crosses are restricted or banned in parts of the UAE. Check your municipality's rules before buying or importing a dog.
