THE COMPLETE NORWEGIAN LUNDEHUND GUIDE

Discover the Extraordinary Story of the World's Rarest Dog Breed

Imagine a dog with six fully developed toes on each foot, a neck so elastic it can bend backward to touch its spine, shoulders flexible enough to splay the front legs flat to the side, and ears that fold completely shut. This is not science fiction-this is the Norwegian Lundehund, the remarkable "Puffin Dog" of Norway's Arctic islands.

In this comprehensive 500-question guide, author Roy Shiba takes you on a complete journey through every aspect of this extraordinary breed-from its ancient origins as a cliff-climbing puffin hunter to the cutting-edge genetic research that may determine its survival.

What You'll Discover Inside:

Origins & Evolution - How a small Spitz breed evolved unique anatomy to retrieve live puffins from vertical sea cliffs and narrow caves

Genetics & Physical Characteristics - The science behind the six toes, elastic neck, and flexible shoulders-and why these traits are so difficult to preserve

Temperament & Behavior - Why these contortionist athletes have surprisingly mild, affectionate personalities

Health & Wellness - Critical information on Lundehund Syndrome, the gastrointestinal condition affecting 30% of the breed

Conservation & Breed Status - The dramatic near-extinction story and the controversial outcross project that may save the breed

Ownership & Care - Practical guidance on diet, exercise, training, and providing for this rare breed's specialized needs

The Critical Information You Need:

The Norwegian Lundehund walks a knife's edge. Reduced to just six individuals in the 1960s, every Lundehund alive today descends from those survivors.

• Recognizing early signs of Lundehund Syndrome

• Dietary management strategies that can extend your dog's life

• The controversial outcross breeding project and what it means for the breed's future

• Finding reputable breeders and health-tested puppies

• Managing the emotional and financial aspects of caring for a breed with serious health concerns
