The Greenland Dog (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Qimmiat, Danish: Grønlandshund) is a large breed of husky-type dog kept as a sled dog. They were brought from Siberia to North America by the Thule people 1,000 years ago, along with the Canadian Eskimo Dog that is genetically identical. A characteristic of most Greenland Dogs is the 'úlo', a triangular shaped area on the shoulders. It is named after a common woman's-knife from Greenland which is of the same shape.
