About Edgar and Kippa




The parents of these puppies are U-CH Sherwood Forests Gunnar (Edgar),CGC and Vinlands Urthur (Kippa). Both are AKC registered and have OFA good hips.CERF exams are done yearly (documentation on request) and have always been normal.



Edgar is a long coated Icelandic with strong double dew claws on the back feet. He weighs about 37 pounds and stands approx 16.5" at the shoulders. His coat is easy to care for and rarely needs brushing. Edgar has done both obedience and agility classes, but is most happy when digging for mice or chasing our resident eagles. His temperament is gentle and easy going, but he is definitely the leader of the pack. He gets along well with most dogs, both male and female, and is comfortable with cats, horses and llamas. His favorite foods is peanut butter.



Kippa is our little athlete. She is wiry and sleek and moves gracefully. She is a short coated Icelandics with double dew claws “on the ground” on her back feet. Kippa weighs about 27 pounds and is about 14.5 " at the shoulders. Her tail is a double curl. Kippa has done both obedience and agility and will do more agility once the puppies leave. She loves to swim and retrieve her very special pink and black horse ball, and like Edgar, loves to dig for mice. She has a deep bark but a sweet temperament, and one of her favorite spots to sleep is under the bed. We have her son, Edsson, from the last litter, and although he looks nothing like his mom, he has her love of water and retrieving, which the puppies of this litter should also have. Kippa’s favorite food is salmon.
Kippa is an Icelandic term for “she who holds the reins”, and she does.
