A few hints and tips.

Northern Inuits are very sociable dogs and do not like being left alone for long periods of time.

If left alone they can be very destructive, and may well develope seperation anxiety. for this reason, its always best to have another dog to keep your Inuit company, or better still,try and keep your dog with you as much as possible.

The N.I moults twice yearly, it sheds its thick undercoat and may well look a bit matted for a couple of weeks. Giving a good brushing once or twice a day will speed up the process.

This breed can be very rough and tumble, so always make sure children are supervised, as Inuits love to play and socialise.

I have found that my dogs didnt take well to conventional dog foods and tended to have the runs a lot, since changing to the BARF diet, they have seemed to be a lot healthier and happier, i never thought dogs would enjoy raw veg, but mine do, they spend ages shredding it and then they eat it, after spreading it all over the kitchen floor.

When out walking, they often turn a deaf ear, but will come back, usually if i run in the opposite direction, only joking. they will always want to investigate strange dogs, but rarely fight, they are very friendly and get on well with most animals, of course theres always an exception to the rule so be wary.

Northern Inuits like paddling in water, the smellier the better, and like most dogs, like to roll in disgusting things, and bathing one of these dogs is no joke.

Some of the breeders i have listed have had these dogs for a lot more years than me, and im sure if contacted, they can give a lot better and sounder advice.

As with any breed, a lot of it is trial and error, so be patient, these dogs react better to kindness and good training than to cruelty and beatings, so enjoy your dog and you will be well rewarded with faithfulness and loyalty. I for one couldnt forsee my future without the Northern Inuit, a breed on the up and up.
