The Norwegian Buhund is an intelligent and friendly breed that is known for their even temperament and strong bonds they form with their owners. They are not overly energetic and do not crave constant attention, but still have a desire to please their families. They can adapt to a wide variety of living situations and have filled many roles, from family pet, to service dog and even seeing service as police dogs. Buhunds can make wonderful watch dogs, but don’t expect these sociable and friendly pups to be good guards. They get along very well with new people and children, as well as other animals, and love to spend time having fun with everyone in the family. These easy- going dogs have been popular hunting and working dogs for centuries, but today many Norwegian Buhunds find themselves living the family life as a pet with those looking for a lovable companion who can keep up with their active lifestyle.
