Icelandic Sheepdog
Icelandic Sheepdogs (20-30 pounds) are friendly, intelligent, and energetic, great for active families. They’re excellent with kids but may herd toddlers. Moderate exercise (1-2 hours daily, herding or walks) suits them; their thick coat needs frequent brushing.
Feed 1-1.5 cups daily of Hill’s Science Diet Adult Small & Mini Chicken Recipe, with 23% protein for their energy and coat health. Monitor portions to avoid obesity. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living in cooler climates with yards, they adapt to apartments with exercise.
Training curbs barking. Perfect for engaged households, Icelandics thrive with activity, not for low-energy or hot climates.
