Tips on Grooming Your Greenland Dog

    Low Maintenance: Grooming is only necessary once in a while to maintain upkeep.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Greenland Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential component of everyday pet care. Brushing helps to keep your Greenland Dog dog's coat in good condition by taking out loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a glossy coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to minimize the need to bath and therefore minimize the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Greenland Dog dog are activities that help to reinforce the good connection bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Greenland Dog

    How often to brush and groom your dog will depend upon each individual dog. Dogs tend to contrast in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their latest activities.

    Dogs with short coats commonly require much less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more quickly.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should monitor the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of 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.
