The Greenland Dog is generally a hardy breed with no widely recognised breed specific health problems.
Priority Kennel Club health schemes and testing:
None but there are several recommended schemes that the Kennel Club recommends which can be found here.
Like all the Spitz types, the Greenland dog is independent and determined, with great stamina both physically and mentally. This is really a dog for someone who enjoys a training challenge and has the patience to build a strong relationship with a dog who is fully equipped to live in the wild, and knows it! Intelligent and adaptable, good natured and affectionate, they love people but are not particularly loyal to anyone person, willingly welcoming thieves and ne’er do wells into the home just as easily as friends and family! They are less affable with other dogs however and care must be taken to socialise well and manage them so that fall outs and trouble cannot occur!
