Home of the Wolf Look Alike
"The Northern Inuit"
COME! CAPTURE THE DREAM
This placid, fun loving, very affectionate and thought provoking best friend will not disappoint your imagination.
At Northumbria Kennels we breed these wolf look-alike dogs and promote the breed on a daily basis within the Northern Inuit Society and its enthusiastic members.
We are unable to go out for a quick walk as there will always be someone wanting to know more about these magnificent dogs. Oh! They'll try and guess the breed, "Husky or Malamute or a wolf hybrid maybe?"
Then, usually, follows the story of the Northern Inuit and its history, I hope you will enter this site, read up more and let you decide?
These are certainly 'pack' dogs they prefer to be in the company of others rather than left alone which, like most dogs, will cause a lot of distress leading to the severity of causing destruction in your home, much would be their choice of permanent companionship of his owner or of another dog. It has to be known, most NI owners tend never to just have one dog, they are an addiction and it's hard to stop at 2 even!
We have many NI shows/events/fun days up and down the UK for everyone to participate never sure who enjoys it the most, owner or dog. We have others who attend many county/companion shows and rarely leave the ring without winning 1st or even better BIS.
One unique thing you can do is to let a pack of Northern Inuit's run free, there will be lots of bearing of teeth and howling but never a cross word amongst them. It's quite an amazing sight as some of the pictures I have included will show true bearing.
Be prepared if visiting our Kennel in the beautiful Tyne Valley called Tynedale in the county of Northumberland (The home of passionate people and passionate places) you will get a nose prod or better still if tall enough they like to give you a ride intent on getting your full attention for a fuss and giving you a greeting like a long lost friend.
There are many adjectives to describe the Northern Inuit some being obedient, inquisitive, intelligent, affectionate dogs with a cute nose for that acute sense of smell; in all, they demonstrate their talents and versatility in P.A.T dogs, Search & Rescue, with potential to becoming Assistance Dogs for the Disabled, Dogs for the Blind, etc with a special mention of all the members of the Northern Inuit Society who have claimed KC Good Citizen Scheme with Bronze, Silver & Gold. Their willingness to please their owner is usually the only reward these dogs wish for however, they are very strong willed and need to be socialised within weeks of birth which, we at 'Northumbria' pride ourselves, keeping them mentally stimulated inside a family and home environment.
In always being the Alpha, as you would with any dog, you will find yourself rewarded with abundance.
We take it as a matter of pride that The Kennel Club are looking into our breed favourably for recognition and trust it will only be a matter of time before this recognition is achieved.
