Summary
About Weimaraner
Large, athletic German gundog with a sleek silver-grey coat and amber eyes. Energetic, intelligent and strongly people-oriented “Velcro dog” needing 1.5–2 hours of daily exercise plus training. Versatile in dog sports; without stimulation may become noisy, destructive or escape-prone.
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.
