The Norfolk is a happy family pet and gets along well with youngsters. Because of his small stature, he's more matched to families of children aged 10 and up since they're less likely to trip on or injure him.

Norfolk Terrier puppies and dogs are caring and affectionate family dogs, but they also have a hunting instinct and enjoy chasing mice, foxes, and other vermin. They have a scrappy, tenacious nature, but they can live happily with children in a family.

The double coat of the Buhund is heavy. It should be brushed once a week to keep it clean and prevent dead hair. The coat sheds a little bit all year and a lot once or twice a year. Regular brushing can help keep excess hair under control during shedding seasons normally in the spring or fall. Shedding is a term used to describe the process of Norwegian Buhunds, like all spitz dogs with a heavy double coat, shed a lot.

Norwegian Buhunds do not need as much grooming as other breeds. And when muddy, they are naturally clean and odorless dogs. The Buhund has two coats: a thick, rich, hard, and smooth-lying outer coat and a short, dense, and woolly undercoat. The coat quickly loses most foreign objects and dries on its own after a bath.

Buhunds can be cleaned two or three times a week and more often during shedding season?buhunds, like most double-coated breeds, blow their undercoats once or twice a year. Nails should be clipped daily, as in all dogs.

Buhunds were bred to work and herd for long periods. This will result in hyperactive dogs that need regular activity (allowing them to run quickly) twice daily to maintain their physical and mental fitness. These dogs enjoy bicycling, retrieving balls, and going on long, all-day hikes. The breed will also benefit from mental and physical exercise by engaging in obedience, tracking, agility, and other activities that both the dog and the trainer can enjoy.

Norwegian Buhunds are generally healthy and hardy dogs. Hip Dysplasia, von Willebrand's disease, and eye disease are all diseases responsible breeders test their breeding stock for. It's still a good idea for potential puppy owners to double-check the sire and dam's health records.

Norwegian Buhunds are happy, playful dogs who enjoy spending time with their families and children. Norwegian Buhunds, as you expect based on their presence, thrive in the cold. They're still very affectionate with the people in their lives, including children. Norwegian Buhunds are happy, playful dogs who enjoy spending time with their families and children. These dogs need to be socialized, even though they are usually good around other pets. These clever dogs are simple to train and can learn new tricks.

Buhunds are intelligent dogs with a strong desire to satisfy their masters. This, along with their high levels of energy, makes them ideal for things like agility training. These features, however, do not make the Buhund quick to train.

They can be abrasive and autonomous, and mastering them requires some prior teaching experience. Their use as police service dogs and guide dogs demonstrates that they are capable of mastering difficult challenges when adequately trained. Socialization is an essential aspect of early training.

A well-socialized Buhund are able to conquer their innate fear of strangers and unfamiliar circumstances.

If bred alongside other family pets, Norwegian Buhunds are generally perfect. Compared to different spitz varieties, this one is less headstrong and more able to cooperate with you. (A spitz is a dog breed with a thick fur coat, pricked ears, a curled tail, and a foxy face.) Norwegian Buhunds are excellent Cat companions.
