THE NORTHERN INUIT SOCIETY

A howling success

Why NI?

With so many breeds of dogs to choose from these days why choose a Northern Inuit? What makes them stand out from the rest. We asked that very question to owners. Below is a selection of their replies. You can add your comments via our forum. If your not already a forum member why not join now, it's free.

We chose our N.I because of their looks and temperament, after much research, knowing she would be great with our other dogs and cat. Seeley is now 16 weeks old and we have a permanent smile on our faces because of her. Both our other dogs were lovely as puppies and still are, but there is something different and very special about N.Is.

We looked at several different dogs before we settled on getting our NI. We chose him because we wanted a companion, a dog that would be good with the kids and when I saw him I just knew he was going to be coming home with me

I lost my beloved GSD when he was 9 years old. I wanted a large breed dog that didn't have all the health problems and short life of the GSD. I came across Northern Inuits and was immediately taken by their wolfie good looks. After much research and talking to other NI owners I decided to get one. NI's have everything you want in a companion animal. They have a wonderfully sociable nature, are great characters, easy to train and are incredibly loyal.

For many years I wanted a Siberian Husky,as they reminded me so much of my favourite animal, the wolf, but was told by my parents "no". When the sad passing of our Westie came, the opportunity finally arose. I looked into the breed in more depth and realised that although they are lovely, sadly they really weren't for me. I then looked up "wolf looking dogs" on the internet and came across the NI. I researched the breed and found that they excelled in the particular areas that the Husky failed. I soon got in contact with the NIS via their forum, and met some wonderful people, who invited me to one of their shows. I went to meet the breed, and fell in love.

After loosing our last dog Suki we started looking through the net at different dog breeds, not knowing anything other than we did'nt want to have another Shar Pei so soon after loosing her.
By chance I came across a picture of Jim Brown owned by Margaret Foster, after much searching for contact info for Margaret I emailed her and asked if it would be possible to meet Jim Brown. Margaret welcomed us to her home where we met Jim Brown N.I and Margarets other dog Shanook a GSD x Husky. We were hooked, JB was exactly what we wanted in a dog, submissive nature quiet calm big and very handsome. Margaret then pointed us in the direction of a breeder, Doreen Doig from Tullibody whos dog Kara was due puppies, after seeing Kara and what a lovely natured dog she was we were sure. We booked 2 male N.I puppies the very next day all we had to do now was wait and pray Kara had at least 2 boy's lol. We are now the proud owners of Inka and Kain. None look typical N.I because of their colouring but we chose them and love them none the less for it...All I need now is a girl to complete my pack.

I have a couple of medical conditions which mean that sometimes I can be very disabled and unable to walk and other times I can be fine. I love the fact that NIs are so intuitive and you can really have a sort of psychic connection with them. They pick up on how you are and know just what you need at the time. They can walk all day and run like the wind when you need the exercise but are happy to just run around the garden when you're not well.
