A tough Arctic sled dog built to run all day in the cold
The Greenland Dog is an ancient polar breed used to pull sleds and hunt seals with the Inuit. It is powerful, pack-oriented and tireless, with a strong prey drive and a talent for howling, so it needs space, exercise and confident handling.

This breed needs about 150 minutes of activity a day. Around 7 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Yes, howling is a natural way for them to communicate with the pack. Exercise and company reduce it, but it will not disappear completely.
It is a poor fit for a small apartment. The breed needs plenty of space, cold-tolerant surroundings and hours of exercise every day.
They are usually tolerant and friendly with family children. Their size and strength mean play must be supervised and children taught to respect the dog.
