| Lundehund? I am a Lundehund (Norwegian Puffin Dog) It's kinda cute. LOL Lundehund Alert and active, this animal is an ideal companion and obedient employee. Lundehunds are friendly and love people. They are not aggressive and will snuggle with people or other dogs for hours. They love to play and will enjoy long sessions of it. Curious, they are ready to explore the world. This breed is intelligent and can be trained for agility. Because of the Lundehunds very unique characteristics, it makes an exceptional hunter. Its six toes on each foot, including two dewclaws, allow the dog to climb steep areas, the extra joints in the nape of the neck, allow the dog to turn its head at a 180-degree angle, it has extremely flexible shoulder joints and its ears have mobility which other dogs do not have. The Lundehund has a mind of its own and is stubborn. It can be obstinate and manipulative. Consistency is a must with this breed. You must show them that you mean what you say. It requires training in socialization to minimize fearfulness and distrust. It has a inbuilt distrust of anything new or different, which can result in excessive alarm barking. Although to some they can seem stubborn, enthusiasts say that it is the traditional training methods that are at fault, not the dog. Discipline will never work on these dogs, and if you can find someone who knows about or breeds Lundies, it shouldn't be much trouble at all to train them. The Lundehund is somewhat primitive and can be extremely difficult to housebreak. Consistent crate training is mandatory. A doggy door may have to be used. Some owners say they never do get their Norwegian Lundehunds housebroken. The key is thinking two steps ahead of a puppy who has to pee. From having many puppies in my house, I know that giving a puppy the run of the house is just asking for disaster. If you're not watching him, he's in his crate or outside. Crate training works well with this primitive breed, because they still have a strong den instinct. As soon as he comes out of the crate, as soon as he's done eating, as soon as he wakes up in the morning, he goes outside! Or somewhere where he is allowed to pee. A Lundie puppy will learn much better if he is never given the opportunity to do bad. The Lundehund is usually good with children. They don't mind having their ears or tails tugged, especially if it's by others in their pack. So long as they are introduced to each other in a positive environment, the Lundehund will grow into a great family dog. They are friendly with other dogs. Most love to meet others of their species, even if they are a little shy around people. Like all Norwegian dogs, aggressiveness is just not in them, even when challenged they will usually stay fairly calm. They are protective in that this breed usually prefers his own family to other people, and has a tendency to be shy of them, but typically not aggressive. This breed is usually good with other pets if raised with them. Lundies were bred to hunt, and hunt well. But their quarry was puffins, so unless you have a fish or water bird, it should be alright, especially if they are carefully introduced to them. |

| That's a cute test. I am a Papillon, which I am quite pleased with because I have always thought they were cute. When i was looking into what breed of dog to get it was between a yorkie and a papillon! |
