"A living piece of Icelandic Art" This is how beautifully an Icelander once described the Icelandic Sheepdog, and he's so right: "The dog fits, in every way, perfectly into the nature of Iceland and naturally becomes a part of it." This love and admiration for the breed spurred my call for cooperation in order to preserve the Icelandic Sheepdog in its original form.

Temperament: The Icelandic Sheepdog is a hardy and agile herding dog which barks, making it extremely useful for herding or driving livestock in the pastures, in the mountains or finding lost sheep. The Icelandic Sheepdog is by nature very alert and will always give visitors an enthusiastic welcome without being aggressive. Hunting instincts are not strong. The Icelandic Sheepdog is cheerful, friendly, inquisitive, playful and unafraid. A confident and lively bearing is typical for this dog.
