Nordenden puppy 1 year old.


The grey dog in a bipedal pose is one out of three of the 2011 puppies from Nordenden. 55 kg at 1 year old indicates a considerable massive animal. Luckily he gets plenty of exercise in rough terrain with climbing and demanding runs. His ligaments, sinews, joints and muscles will be strong enough for his size, but not completed until between 2 or 3 years old. Correct nutrition will be critical for such an animal. Commercial dog-food will not suffice. The background scenery is the glacier "Folgefonna". The picture is shot at an island on the west-coast.
