History
This polar spitz breed undoubtedly has northern wolf blood. Originating in the arctic, this pure breed was selectively bred for thousands of years by Eskimos for its energy and power. P. E. Victor introduced the breed to the world in 1936 when he brought back the dogs he used for his polar expeditions. The breed is rare in France.
