Why People Love The Breed
Although the Norwegian Buhund is unusual in this Country those who have once enjoyed this amazing dog would never choose a different breed. Loyal lively with a great sense of fun.
The densely coated Norwegian Buhund, a Nordic spitz-type closely associated with the Vikings, is a medium-sized cold-weather worker, characterized by a dense coat, a tail curved tightly over the back, a wedge-shaped head, and erect, pointed ears. As family dogs, Buhunds are smart, affectionate, and steadfastly devoted.
Inheritantly a working dog from Norway, bred to herd and guard.they are affectionate, cheerful, active and attractive.They do not tire easily and require a lot of exercise on a daily basis. They can be headstrong and demonstrate an intense desite to be taught and learn new things. As a working dog they can be vocal, seeing it their ‘duty’ to protect and alert their owners..
Compared to other breeds, Norwegian Buhunds do not need extensive grooming. They are naturally clean and basically odorless dogs, even when wet. The Buhund has a double coat: an outer coat that is thick, rich, and smooth lying, with a soft, dense, and woolly undercoat.
Compared to other Spitz and Northern breeds, Norwegian Buhunds are easier to train, but they still retain the independent characteristics of such breeds. Buhunds do have a desire to please, but their independence is often stronger, which can make it challenging for them to maintain their focus.Fortunately most Buhunds are highly food-motivated, therefore positive-training techniques such as clicker training work well.
