Temperamento

Greenland Dogs are known for their strong, independent spirit and intelligence, making them both loyal companions and capable workers. They thrive in active environments and require regular exercise to keep their energy levels balanced, often enjoying tasks that challenge their physical and mental abilities. With a nurturing and affectionate demeanor, they form strong bonds with their families but can exhibit a reserved nature around strangers. Early socialization and training are essential to harness their natural instincts and ensure they become well-rounded pets.

Consideraciones de Salud

The Greenland Dog is generally a robust and healthy breed, thanks to its history as a working dog in harsh Arctic conditions. However, like all breeds, it is prone to certain health issues. Hip dysplasia is a potential concern, so regular screenings and maintaining a healthy weight are important. Eye conditions such as progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) may also occur, making annual veterinary eye exams crucial. With their dense double coat, they can be prone to skin irritations or infections if not properly groomed. Their lifespan typically ranges from 12 to 14 years. Preventive care, including vaccinations, a balanced diet, and routine check-ups, will help ensure their overall health and longevity.
