    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Picking a dog can be both exciting and perplexing. But the one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's character will reveal itself.

    Understanding why a breed was created, and the country and climate it initially came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and character.

    Some breeds demand much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also take some time to develop: the boxer's extrovert and playful nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog

Greenland Dog Information

The Greenland Dog is a powerful, heavy-built dog. It has a broad, wedge-shaped head, slightly tilted eyes and small, triangular ears covered with thick fur that prevents frostbite. It has strong, muscular, short-haired legs. The tail is usually rolled along/across its back. When it lies down and curls up to rest, the tail often covers the nose. Its coat is of medium length and consists of two layers. The inner layer consists of short wool-like fur, the outer layer of longer, coarser, water-repellent fur.

The predominant temperament qualities of the Greenland Dog are energy, mental strength and boldness. He is a tireless sled dog and while friendly to people, he is not particularly attached to any one person and not suitable as a guard dog. The breed has a strong instinct for hunting polar bear and seal.
