Norwegian Buhund and Norwegian Buhund pictures
The Buhund is a friendly and lively dog. Like most working and herding
breeds he is easily trained, is a good watchdog and very loyal.
He is agile and alert, loves to play and is very fond of children.
A good Buhund is never nervous, nor aggressive, but a fun-loving
spirit that gets along well with both people and other dogs. The
eager and alert attitude of a typical Norwegian Buhund makes for
an excellent show dog as well as obedience dog. The Norwegian Buhund
or "Norsk Buhund," a herding dog of the spitz group, is
the farm dog of Norway. "Bu" in Norwegian means homestead
or the mountain hut lived in by shepherds at the summer pastures,
and "hund" of course means dog. Buhunds taken along by
the Vikings on their travels and colonizing journeys over 1,000
years ago were the ancestors of the Iceland Dog and influenced the
collie breeds. The Buhunds are excellent obedience and agility dogs
and have demonstrated abilities in fields as diverse as working
with the British Royal Air Force, police dog training and as hearing
dogs for the deaf. |
