Welcome to our
Icelandic Sheepdog Website

The Icelandic Sheepdog is Iceland's only native dog.  It is part of Iceland's national heritage and a treasure which should be safeguarded and bred to the FCI/AKC standard keeping it true to Iceland no matter what country it resides in.

The Icelandic Sheepdogs are not for everyone, they need room for play and are not happy to be left alone for long periods of time. They are happiest when they can be with their family while still having the opportunity be out running, playing and working.

Spurðann and Birta or Snotra as we call her came to us from Iceland and are FCI and AKC registered.
Spurðanella, "Nella" is the offspring of Spurðann and Snotra, and is AKC registered.

I consider myself lucky to be blessed with my wonderful dogs, I get to spend my days with them, and wouldn't want it any other way.

We are members of:
Icelandic Sheepdog Association of America
Icelandic Kennel Club
Icelandic Sheepdog Parent Club in Iceland

We participate in CHIC program
(Canine Health Information Center Program)
Our dogs are health tested and meet the breeding requirement set by the ISAA.

Our dogs are CERF tested.  

Spurdann and Snotra have their PennHIP scores posted on their pedigree pages. 

We follow the guidelines recommended by the Icelandic Sheepdog International Cooperation's (ISIC) Breeding Committee. These standards were developed from research by ISIC member countries in cooperation with the scientific community to ensure the continued health of the breed.

Although we do participate in a breeding program, our dogs are first and foremost our family members and puppies are few and far between.
Currently we are not breeding.

We took all three of our dogs to the first ISAA National Specialty at Wausean, Ohio in October 2009. It was important to us to get our dogs judged by an Icelandic Sheepdog expert Guðrún R Guðjohnsen,that came from Iceland just for the event. To see the judges report, please look at our dogs pages.

Both Snotra and Spurðann earned their Canine Good Citizen title on 25 August 2007.
