Icelandic SheepdogsDon't spend 5 weeks in Hawaii. Puppies may happen.Audur's Teitur is fast, efficient, and the Sire of two litters born 1 day apart. Solee and Seri are proud to present their offspring. They are also tired of nursing, so they request your assistance by adopting these puppies, born on September 2 (Solee - 1 pup) and September 3 (Seri - 7 pups) 2016. Serenity - we call her Seri - was one of the girls from Solee's first litter. Later, we acquired Audur's Teitur (CKC Registered, AKC pending) from Canada as a sire for her and her mom.

If
you see a puppy you would like to take home, give us a call or send an
email to Randy@AlderwoodRanch.com - There is a puppy here for YOU! The puppies here are just 5 weeks old and already getting well socialized with dogs and people. They have learned how to play with each other and mature dogs. At their first visit to the veterinarians office, they will get their first shots and deworming. Icelandic Sheepdogs love to run and play, are good with children and adults, and absolutely live to please their master. They must be reprimanded carefully. They do not back down from danger, but will crumble if their master starts yelling at them. That is the sign of an animal paying attention. If you have not had this breed before, basic puppy classes are a good idea. They will probably outperform their peers because the desire to "please the master" is so great. They are a primitive breed (read: unspoiled by line breeding for one trait or another). Various show breeds are known for hip problems, skin or eye problems, etc. Because care has been taken to keep the genetics diverse, these dogs have very few "inbred" problems. Adult weight is 25 to 30 lbs. These critters are at their best and happiest when working with their master, such as moving sheep. When off-duty, they chase rabbits, will exterminate rodents, and particularly DO NOT LIKE BIRDS. In Iceland, large raptors are predators that will attack these dogs - it is hard-wired into them to chase away big flying birds. Below are pictures of the parents, Seri, Solee and Teitur. Also, pictures of puppies having fun still to come. |
