Green Dog Svalbard is located in Bolterdalen and was founded in 2011 by a Danish family with a long history in East Greenland, where they made their living through hunting and tourism. The family operated and developed Green Dog Svalbard from its founding in 2011 until 2026.
Green Dog differs from other commercial dog kennels in Svalbard, as the dogs are a mix of Greenland Dogs and Huskies, and because the employees live at the kennel year-round. The kennel is divided into smaller units, with each guide responsible for their own kennel of three dog teams (approximately 26 dogs). This means that our sledding tours consist of relatively small groups, always driven by the guides' own dogs.
All dog houses and sleds are built on site. The sleds are a modernized version of the traditional Greenlandic hunting sled, and traces of the founders' Greenlandic heritage can still be found throughout the kennel. This creates a unique and personal atmosphere for visitors. It is not uncommon to see guides building new sleds or preparing dog food when visiting Green Dog.
At Green Dog, you will usually find puppies in all ages year round and this is something that puts a smile on the faces of all of our visitors.
We look forward to your visit!
