History of the Northern Inuit Society
The Northern Inuit Society was founded in the early 1990’s to govern the breeding and wellbeing of this fantastic breed and the Northern Inuit Society today remains the only governing body of the Northern Inuit dog and holds the complete pedigree database for Northern Inuits. The Northern Inuit Society has a strict Code of ethics and all Northern Inuits must be fully health tested before being accepted into the breeding scheme.
As the Northern Inuit is an established breed, the Northern Inuit Society is strongly against the crossing of Northern Inuits with other breeds and this is prohibited under its Code of Ethics. As a society we do acknowledge that there is an occasional need to backcross to the original breed to improve and maintain the gene pool. Unfortunately, as the popularity in Northern Inuits has grown so has the number of unethical breeders trying to cash in and sell mixed breeds as Northern Inuits. As a result, if you are considering buying a Northern Inuit please ensure that you buy a puppy from one of our registered breeders.

Northern Inuit Society Rescue
The Northern Inuit Society takes responsibility for every puppy it registers. In the sad event that a puppy needs re-homing if a breeder is unable to take the puppy back into their care, NIS Rescue will place the dog in foster care (at the NIS’ cost) until a permanent forever home can be found.
Funding dogs in foster care can be very expensive, some dogs need extensive veterinary care and will need to be spayed/neutered, let alone the food bill!
NIS Rescue is funded completely through the kind donations and sponsorship of our members and those wanting to help dogs in need.
We are always looking for fundraising ideas so if you can help please get in touch.
We often have dogs in need of fostering temporarily or looking for their forever homes…
