Summary
About Dachshund
Dachshund: bold, long‑backed, short‑legged hunting dog, originally bred for badger and rabbit. Comes in smooth, long and wire coats, standard and miniature sizes. Loyal, scent‑driven, independent and vocal. Needs regular but careful exercise and weight control to protect its spine.
About Norwegian Lundehund
The Norwegian Lundehund is a rare, small spitz-type dog with at least six toes per foot, great flexibility, and a weather-resistant double coat. Once used to hunt puffins on Norwegian cliffs, it is now an active, alert companion needing gentle training and regular mental and physical exercise.
