Greenland Dogs are originally from Siberia. The frozen tundra in the middle of nowhere? Yes, that Siberia. So you know these dogs have to be a tough, hardy, determined breed. In fact, Greenland Dogs have been helping native peoples hunt and haul seal and polar bear for thousands of years. They love having a job to do for their owners but aren’t particularly affectionate. Full-grown, they typically weigh 66-70 pounds and stand 2-25 inches tall.

Greenland Dogs are generally good with kids, especially when raised together. Being from a region where water quickly become frozen Frisbees, Greenland Dogs aren’t comfortable in warm weather. Independent and high-energy, they can do well as outdoor dogs. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.

With their amazingly thick double coats, Greenland Dogs can live outdoors in unbelievably cold conditions. It’s recommended to brush them a couple times a week to ensure their fluffy fur doesn’t become matted. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Greenland Dogs are best suited for a rural property or home with a large yard. Independent and high-energy, they can do well as outdoor dogs. If you choose to bring them inside, they will need daily access to a large, large… large backyard. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.

Samoyeds are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
