Icelandic Sheepdog Day
On Friday, 18 July, Icelandic Sheepdog Day will be celebrated at Árbær Open Air Museum. There, it will be possible to greet the dogs and their owners who will happily answer all questions about the Icelandic Sheepdog. The dogs are sweet and smart and it is safe to pet them with the owners' permission.
This year, the 10th anniversary of the day will be celebrated with a special program. Only dogs that participate in the presentation will be allowed access to the museum.
