About the Book

The Icelandic Sheepdog is a breed of dog that is a member of the Spitz typing. The breed is also commonly known as the 'Icelandic Spitz' and the 'Friaar Dog.' The Icelandic Sheepdog very much resembles the bodies of dogs found in graves in Denmark and Sweden dating back to about 8000 B.C. It is therefore believed that the Icelandic Sheepdog is a descendant from Viking dog breeds. The Icelandic Sheepdog is commonly used to herd sheep and other cattle in the Icelandic countryside. When herding, the Icelandic Sheepdog was mainly used to prevent the cattle from straying away from the pack rather than driving the cattle. The Icelandic Sheepdog would tend to bark at animals that began to stray, this barking habit is still present within the Icelandic Sheepdog nature as they tend to bark when they want something. The Icelandic Sheepdog was also used to find and retrieve cattle that got lost in the countryside, which means that the breed is used to working alone and without the presence of humans. The breed was very popular up until the the 19th century where the plague and canine distemper destroyed over 75% of the breed! The breeds number continued to dwindle to the point where the Icelandic Dog Breeder Association (HRFI) was established to preserve the breed. The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors: individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy's mother before purchasing a Icelandic Sheepdog. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Icelandic Sheepdog with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood. Generally speaking, the Icelandic Sheepdog is an incredibly loyal, friendly and enthusiastic breed. They are also known to be incredibly inquisitive, trainable and intelligent due to their working history. It is important to note that as a working breed, the Icelandic Sheepdog has a high amount of energy which needs to be expended. If the Icelandic Sheepdog has a buildup of energy it is likely to develop destructive behaviors due to boredom or hyperactivity.

Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet.
