    Why Brush or Groom Your Norwegian Lundehund Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential component of everyday pet care. Brushing assists to keep your Norwegian Lundehund dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also helps to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a shiny coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore reduce the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Norwegian Lundehund dog are tasks that help to strengthen the good relationship bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Norwegian Lundehund

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will rely on each personal dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their latest activities.

    Dogs with short coats generally require less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should observe the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Norwegian Lundehund Information

The Norwegian Lundehund is a small and agile Spitz breed with several unique characteristics in combination not found in any other dog. Features such as six toes on each foot; prick ears that fold closed, forward or backward at will; and the ability to tip the head backward until it touches the back bone all helped them perform their job as Puffin hunter. Their dense coat ranges from fallow to reddish brown to tan in color, with black hair tips and white markings, or white with red or dark markings.

Their superior personality, even disposition and small size make them an ideal, easy-to-live-with pet, although they may be wary of strangers. Consistency in the home environment is extremely important, as is consistency in training, house training, and socialization. Lundehund is very sensitive and can develop trust issues with an owner who tries to trick him into doing things - you can only fool a Lundehund once. They are incredibly clever and fun-loving, making them delightful and sometimes challenging.
