Caring for a Norwegian Lundehund

Health

This is the single most important health fact for the breed: Lundehunds are highly predisposed to Lundehund syndrome, a serious gastrointestinal condition (protein-losing enteropathy and intestinal lymphangiectasia) linked to the breed's historically small gene pool — genuinely one of the defining health challenges of the breed, and something any prospective owner should discuss in depth with a breeder or vet.

Nutrition

Dogs affected by Lundehund syndrome need specialized dietary management under veterinary guidance; even unaffected dogs benefit from a high-quality diet given the breed's digestive sensitivity.

Grooming

The double coat needs regular brushing, more during seasonal shedding.

Training

Intelligent and athletic, with genuinely unique physical abilities (extreme neck flexibility, ear-closing) reflecting its original cliff-climbing job.

About the breed

A uniquely built Norwegian breed developed to hunt puffins on steep sea cliffs, with distinctive extra toes and extreme joint flexibility unmatched by any other breed.

Friendly and athletic, today's Lundehund is a companion breed since puffin hunting is no longer practiced.
