Also known as Buhund, Norsk Buhund
A Viking-age farm dog with a curled tail and a lot to say
The Buhund is an old Norwegian spitz-type farm dog that herded livestock and guarded the homestead. It is cheerful, active and people-loving, with a weatherproof double coat and a tendency to announce every visitor.

This breed needs about 90 minutes of activity a day. Around 5 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Best-matched service
Yes, they are natural watchdogs and alert barkers. Consistent training and enough exercise keep it manageable, but they will always tell you when someone arrives.
They are affectionate and playful and usually get on well with children and other pets. They need an active family that includes them in daily life.
Only for short periods. They bond closely with their people and can become noisy or destructive if bored or lonely, so midday visits help.
