Fun fact: apparently the women (and we’d have to say some of the men) of what is now Britain were quite taken with the Viking invaders because, unlike the local lads, they bathed. There was never a Viking hoard less dangerous or more adorable than these pups. We’re told their mum is a Staffy-Kelpie x and dad a Smithfield. Freya, who is black and white with a slightly longer coat, is the only girl. The boys are Harald (light fawn), Erik (tricolour), Magnus (black and white) and Ragnar (dark fawn). “These pups love playing with toys and just adore attention,” staff say. “They have lots of energy and love to run around, definitely showing the energy levels of the working breeds in their mix.” They’ll need plenty of exercise and intellectual stimulation for their agile bodies and equally agile minds. As always, we strongly recommend puppy preschool for these Norse explorers. It’s a fun way for them to learn the obedience basics while getting vital early socialisation with people and other pups.
If Viking pups isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
