Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Qimmiq, Inuit dog
An Arctic sled dog with endless stamina and a mind of its own
This rare Arctic breed has hauled sleds and hunted alongside the Inuit for centuries. It is powerful, independent and tireless, so it needs plenty of daily exercise, secure fencing and an owner who enjoys a strong-minded dog.

This breed needs about 120 minutes of activity a day. Around 7 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

It copes well with cold but can live in milder climates if kept cool, shaded and given good water. Warm days call for lighter activity and cool resting spots.
It usually does well with other dogs but has a strong prey drive, so cats and small animals are risky. Early socialisation helps but never removes the instinct.
Rarely. The breed is independent, needs a lot of exercise and can be difficult to train, so it suits experienced owners with time and space.
