📜History | The Norwegian Lundehund is an ancient breed used for hunting puffins along the Norwegian coast. Its name combines 'lunde' (puffin) and 'hund' (dog). Descriptions of dogs used for this purpose exist from over 400 years ago. Unique anatomical features such as extra toes and an extremely flexible body help the dog enter the narrow burrows of puffins. |
