Greenland Dog

The genuine article: a heavy, powerful sled dog descended from dogs the Thule people brought from Siberia about a thousand years ago, and still pulling working teams in Greenland. It is valued so highly there that bringing other dogs into the sledding regions north of the Arctic Circle is illegal. Outside Greenland it is rare, pack-minded and fiercely independent. Best left to experienced mushers with room for a team, not first-time owners after a striking pet.
