Caring for a Norwegian Buhund

Health

Generally a healthy breed; hip dysplasia and progressive retinal atrophy can occur.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's genuinely high activity level.

Grooming

The dense double coat sheds heavily during seasonal blowouts and needs regular brushing during those periods.

Training

Highly active and doesn't tire easily — needs substantial daily exercise and does well with consistent, engaging training.

About the breed

A Nordic spitz-type breed historically used as an all-purpose Viking-era farm and herding dog.

Cheerful and highly active, Buhunds are smart, affectionate, and steadfastly devoted to family.
