The young dogs: (the boys) Ími(Wolfy), Galsi,
We don't breed couch potatotes here. Our dogs tend to be rather athletic!
I am motivated to find these two young male dogs and Sæta good homes
but only to qualified buyers. We have lowered the prices on these three young dogs
to just $400 each. All three have been either neutered or spayed.
[ Sæta and Wolfy make a good team and would do well together. They are
very similar in personality, size and activity level. ]
Panda
Registration #: AKC FSS DN14025201
Miss July ... Icelandic Sheepdog calender ... :-)
Laki
Registration #: AKC FSS DN13430202
Panda and Laki have both had their PennHip X-rays and CERF eye exams.
There are no issues with their eyes and they have very good to excellent hips.
The average of Panda & Laki's PennHip scores would be in the upper 0.30s, which
would put these puppies in the best range in regard to having excellent hips.
The mean hip score is 0.50. Lower score means tighter hips.
Laki has perhaps the tightest hips of any male in the US. His PennHip average is 0.29.
Be wary of breeders and/or organizations that breed with or promote dogs and/or
puppies from dogs above the median score of 0.50, or who don't PennHip certify
their breeding dogs. I don't understand this. If we are collectively trying
to improve the breed, then why use breeding dogs in the worst half of the range?

Some pictures of Sæta, Galsi and Ími(Wolfy)
Galsi- Quite demure, tall, lean, long, long legged.
Very happy, friendly and affectionate! Galsi is built much like a
smaller grey hound. Galsi is very lithe, with a light build, without the
usual heaviness. Galsi can really move! Galsi is not all that brave,
and can show nervousness or excitement when put in an situation that
he doesn't fully understand. Galsi only weighs about 30+ lbs.
His hair is light and refined (not thick) like his mother, Panda.
Galsi is very sweet. He sleeps at the side of my bed and stays quiet all
night. He is affectionate, but not profusely. Galsi has been neutered.
Rosie just wants to know if this boy is family? :)
Galsi can really cover some ground ... as he is so long! ;-)
Sæta is a very interesting young female. She has a lot of her mother's (Panda)
personality with a few additives. Sæta is rather forward going, meaning
that she is very independent. She is completely fearless and she is toughter
than you can imagine. I'd say she has an optimal classic Icelandic sheepdog
personality. Panda has much of this, but I'm not sure that Panda is as tough
as Sæta. She is not only physically tough, but mentally tough and quite
strong willed. Though Sæta is also quite sweet and affectionate with
her close people. I would not expect Sæta to very large, perhaps only around
25lb at most. She is quite lean at this time and very fast, just like Laki at this age.
She loves water and jumps right into it and lays down, which is rather unique
from our experience. We have several dogs that love water, but only Sæta & Ími
go this far. As I said, Sæta is a very unique. She loves being
picked up and held. She shows her affection by some very soft face licking.
Sæta has been spayed and her price has been lowered.
Sæta has a white waiste band on her leftside with larger white spot on top,
with a bit of black highlight. She is a white PIED with a light tan blanket,
with a lot of the white coming through. I have not had any other pups with this color.
Sæta is built much like Laki and Panda, lean, long legs, proportional chest.
She is quite athletic and will be even more so as her muscles develop.
Sæta is quite energetic and communicative. Sæta is also quite sweet and affectionate.
She likes giving and getting attention and she is always in the middle of the action.
She watches me like a hawk just about all the time (very aware).
Sæta's left ear is tan and her right ear, as all her face, is white.
She has all her dew claws, as do all these young dogs.
Ími(Wolfy) is also a very intereting young male. He is the smartest dog of
the litter. He is sweet, a bit reserved, but quite affectionate.
I'd say he's a bit sensitive, and somewhat needy. He really likes getting
your attention as in getting scratched, rubbed, stroked etc. Wolfy is very
atheletic. I put Ími and Sæta out together today and they ran around
the house about 8 times straight without stopping as they were enjoying runnning
so much. He can be much more calm inside.
He was the first pup to show that he can climb. He has a rather refined
but not delicate build. He loves to run and is lean and very fast. I'd
expect him to be around 31 lbs. He is not inclined to gain weight easily.
Wolfy is very athletic! He is not just fast, but very nimble. He jumps
over other dogs when it looks like a collision. :-) Wolfy is perhaps the
most graceful Icelandic Sheepdog that we have ever seen in his movements.
If he were an Icelandic horse, he would be first prize with very good lift!
Personality wise, Wolfy is not so brave with strangers, though he is quite
dominating with his brothers. Wolfy loves to play and run with his dad.
He taunts JoJo to chase him by bouncing up and down on his rear legs (alone),
which he loves. Wolfy has been neutered.
He is a black & white and is quite symmetrical.
Ími is not afraid of horses! ;-) He has small white spot on his back.
Ími is very much the son of Laki, as he can really move.
Ími is very pretty and very sweet.
Bassi Baby sounds a bit like a bear. He's a sweetest little bear.
He gave all the love that he had within him. I love Bassi so very much.
