Icelandic Sheepdog
Icelandic Sheepdog (Icelandic Sheepdog), native to Iceland, originated in the 17th century. Icelandic dogs were close to death due to a circulating disease. Later, it survived with the joint efforts of builders and enthusiasts in Iceland and the United Kingdom. In the past few decades, the number of Icelandic dogs has increased. Although the number is still not too large, there is no danger of extinction.
The Icelandic Sheepdog is the only native breed in Iceland. Brought to Iceland by Scandinavian colonists from about 874 to 930 AD, the Icelandic dog and its working methods are particularly suitable for the local terrain and livestock farming methods. Icelanders who have struggled for survival for centuries have transformed the dog into Iceland. It is regarded as an essential livestock herder. Some people say that the Icelandic dog was introduced to Iceland by the Norwegians, who call it the Fria dog. The ancestor of the Icelandic dog is probably the Norwegian Shepherd. It is similar to the Norwegian Shepherd, and its appearance is very similar to other varieties of fox dogs, and the Icelandic dog also Mainly a sheepdog rather than a hunting dog.
