This mix of husky and Greenland dog is especially social and thrives in the cold. What hurts them is when this lunar landscape turns unusually warm, which is happening more often as much of the Arctic heats up several times…
BOLTERDALEN, Norway — Out of the dark, frozen vastness in this Arctic valley, a chorus of barks and howls trumpeted the return of Green Dog's oldest puppies from a dogsledding training run through the polar night on Tuesday afternoon.
The working dogs, younger puppies and new litters played in the lashing winds that shifted thigh-high snowdrifts. This mix of husky and Greenland dog — a breed known for taller legs, big paws and thick fur — is especially social and thrives in the cold, Bernlow said. They don't even fear the rare occasion when a polar bear ambles past the yards.
Last summer, a few dogsledding tours had to be canceled so the dogs wouldn't overheat. One of the tours leads to an ice cave and Bernlow, who's been here for more than a decade, said they're watching it disappear year after year.
