The Norwegian Lundehund was once used to catch puffins, so it is also known as the Norwegian Sea Eagle Dog.
Few people have heard of the Norwegian Lundehund. It can be said that it is one of the rarest dog breeds in the world. It was once on the verge of extinction due to canine fever and extremely low birth rates. In 1963, there were only six left in the world. Fortunately, with the careful breeding of people, the number has gradually recovered, but there are only 1,500 at present. It is born with six toes and has the magical skill of folding ears.
The Norwegian Lundehound was recognized internationally relatively late. In February 2010, this breed was officially registered by AKC. It is a very good hunting dog, which is mainly due to its special body structure. It has two more wolf toes than other animals and larger foot pads, which can effectively help it to catch prey from the cracks in the rocks even on cliffs.
The most special thing about the Norwegian Lundehound is that its body is extremely flexible. It is said that the ears can fit the head as closely as possible, and even prevent mud and water from entering the ears. Moreover, its neck can rotate 180 degrees, and its forehead can easily touch the back.
The Norwegian Lundehund is first and foremost a family companion retriever. It is sharp, shoots, and rushes like a bird, while being very determined and intelligent in retrieving game on land or in water. It is very eager to go out hunting, very confident, and has wonderful adaptability, and can hunt in hilly areas and hunt waterfowl. As a family companion, it is clever, alert, and very intelligent, making it a happy, friendly and trainable companion. The adult Norwegian Lundehund can be competent as an alarm dog, sounding the alarm when necessary, but it is still a good-tempered, optimistic dog who tends to be friendly to everything. The Norwegian Lundehund is a pleasant, friendly companion who needs to be appreciated and interacted with by the family members who live with him. If he is fully realized to his potential, he will definitely become a firm personal companion and show all love.
