Summary
About Greenland Dog
A powerful polar dog with a compact body, upright ears, and a dense, protective double coat. Bred for endurance sled work, the Greenland Dog thrives on pulling, carrying packs, and joining challenging outdoor adventures. Energetic, independent, and generally friendly toward people, it needs an experienced, active owner who can provide work, companionship, and thoughtful training.
About American Foxhound
A friendly, long-legged hunting dog from the USA with an athletic build, a gentle expression, and long, floppy ears. Bred to follow scent trails with great stamina, the American Foxhound combines affection for its family with a strong hunting instinct and an independent streak. It needs plenty of exercise, scent work, and patient training, while its dense coat is easy to care for. Its far-carrying bark and howl also call for consideration for neighbors.
