A little look at life together.
Getting to know the Norwegian Lundehund
The Norwegian Lundehund developed for puffin hunting on rocky coastal terrain and has unusual feet and physical flexibility. Learn about the individual dog's care history and discuss breed-specific questions with an experienced veterinarian.
An everyday routine
Plan a daily mix of walks, play, and rest. The amount that works for a particular dog depends on age, fitness, experience, and temperament.
Coat care to plan for
A relatively straightforward coat still needs routine checks, appropriate brushing, and attention to nails and teeth. Ask a groomer to demonstrate tools that suit this coat.
Before deciding, meet the individual dog and ask about their history, handling preferences, and current routine. Breed tendencies are a starting point, not a promise about personality.
