Buying a Norwegian Buhund
Buying a Norwegian Buhund is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly.
All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.
What kind of temperament does the Norwegian Buhund typically have?
This is an alert, cheerful and people-focused spitz that tends to be confident without being aggressive. They are usually affectionate with family, often attach closely to one person, and can be vocal when excited or when they sense something unusual. Proper socialization helps keep their natural watchfulness from turning into nuisance barking or suspicion of strangers.
How much exercise does a Norwegian Buhund need each day?
This breed was developed as a herding and farm dog, so it has higher exercise needs than many similar sized dogs. Most adults do best with at least 60 to 90 minutes of daily physical activity split into several sessions, plus mental challenges such as training, scent games or agility. Without enough outlets, they can become restless, noisy or destructive.
Is the Norwegian Buhund a good choice for first-time dog owners?
They can suit a committed first-time owner who enjoys training and activity, but they are not a low-effort companion. Their intelligence, independence and strong voice require consistent, positive training and clear boundaries. Someone comfortable with structured daily exercise and regular practice of obedience skills is more likely to be successful.
How vocal are Norwegian Buhunds and can their barking be managed?
They have a natural tendency to bark to alert, which comes from their history as watchful farm and herding dogs. With early training, teaching a quiet cue and giving them plenty of exercise, most can learn to bark less in everyday situations. However, they are rarely a good match for homes that require a very quiet dog, such as shared walls with strict noise rules.
What grooming is required for a Norwegian Buhund’s double coat?
They have a dense double coat that sheds moderately most of the year and heavily during seasonal coat blows. Weekly brushing is usually enough to remove loose undercoat and reduce shedding, but daily brushing helps during heavy shed periods. Bathing is needed only occasionally, and trimming is not usually required apart from nail care and basic hygiene.
Are Norwegian Buhunds good with children and other pets?
They are generally friendly, playful and tolerant with respectful children, especially when raised with them. Some retain herding instincts and may try to chase or nudge running kids or smaller animals, so supervision and training are important. With proper introductions they usually coexist well with other dogs and cats, but individual temperament and socialization play a large role.
What health issues are Norwegian Buhunds prone to?
Overall this is a relatively robust breed, but they can be predisposed to conditions such as hip dysplasia, eye disorders and genetic deafness. Responsible breeders typically screen hips and eyes and may participate in hearing testing. Regular veterinary checkups, weight control and appropriate exercise help reduce the impact of many joint and age-related problems.
Can a Norwegian Buhund live comfortably in an apartment?
They can adapt to apartment life if their exercise and mental needs are met very reliably every day. The bigger challenge is their tendency to bark, which can cause issues with close neighbors if not carefully managed. Access to safe outdoor spaces, frequent walks and structured activities is essential in a smaller home.
How strong is the herding and working drive in a Norwegian Buhund today?
Many individuals still show clear herding and watchdog instincts, including chasing movement, patrolling and vocal alerting. While they can make excellent family companions, they often thrive when given a job such as agility, obedience, herding trials or active hiking. Without outlets for this drive, some may develop problem behaviors like obsessive barking or pacing.
How long do Norwegian Buhunds usually live and when do they mature?
The typical lifespan is about 12 to 15 years, with many staying active well into their senior years. They reach physical maturity around 12 to 18 months but can remain mentally puppy-like and energetic for longer. Ongoing training and consistent routines help guide them through adolescence into a well-mannered adult.
