It still totaly astounds me how having Icelandic Sheepdogs in your life can open so many doors for you that you never imagined before. One of those doors is the friendships we've made in the Icelandic Sheepdog Community both here in the United States and throughout Iceland and Europe. One of these fabulous people is Brynhildur Inga Einarsdottir at Reykjadals Kennels in Iceland
Brynhildur Inga recently had a litter of three Black -Tri-color boys out of her Tofra Homfrildur Hrifla and our Elsie's half brother Thordunu Sera Somi. These puppies will be incredible, both their parents are beautiful examples of the breed. Meet Reykjadals Séra Skolli and
Reykjadals Kópur Páfi
and Reykjadals Bróðir Djákni. they were born on June 23, 2008. These pups belong to the rare "O" family in the Icelandic Sheepdog, commected to it by their dam Homfrildur Hrifla
Brynhildur has been so very generous to share with me her Iceland while out on adventures with her dogs and grandchildren. I have had the opportunity to learn a little about Iceland and the Icelandic Sheepdog through her. It is gratifying to know that ISD owners everywhere are pretty much the same. We all enjoy our time spent with our dogs and family most of all. It is photos like these and information on Iceland's history that help us learn how to be better stewards of this incredible breed in the United States. Learning why an Icelandic Sheepdogs coat must be a certain way, or their ears, why their effortles gait is so important after seeing photos of the snowy mountainous countryside; without them being correct, a dog could not have been able to function in the manner in which it was intended.

Þjóðveldisbærinn is the name of this special sod house which was build in 1974 after the one at Stöng that went under the ash from the Hekla eruption back in 1104. Even Reykjadals Mori was able to visit.
I wonder if the original sod house this one was modeled after had an Icelandic Sheepdog like Mori walking around its low walls.... bet it did!

Thanks Brynhildur for sharing your Iceland with me!
