Here at Kavanagh Young we use a rare breed of dogs known as Greenland dogs. In the UK there are less than 100 of these dogs and in even in Norway there are less than 600!
The Greenland dog is revered in the mushing world for it's tenacity, strength of character and physical toughness. It was Greenland dogs which first took Peary to the North Pole and Amundsen to the South Pole. So a prodigious history for an incredible dog which can work all day long, sleep outside at -50C and be happy to go back to work the next day.
What many people don't realise however is just how affectionate these cuddly teddy bears are. They love to have their tummies tickled and they quickly get to know guests.
At Kavanagh Young our dogs have quite an easy life working a maximum of 5 days each week with plenty of food ... and of course affection from both the guides and guests.
