Dogs have their own distinct features. Most of them will bring joy to your life, but they also have negative characteristics that may not be desirable. If you are planning to get a Norwegian Buhund, you may want to find out the pros and cons of owning this breed.

Pros

A Norwegian Buhund doesn't need much maintenance. It will usually leave hair all over the carpet like most dogs do, but it only requires combing 2 to 3 times a week. You don't have to groom it so often because it has a tough and heavy coat that is naturally kept in shape.

A Buhund is generally fit and it doesn't have much health problems. Its common hereditary problems are not life-threatening, and it has good resistance to illnesses. To ensure that your Buhund is always in the prime of health, you should bring it to the vet for regular check-ups.
If you want a dog that enjoys exercise, the Norwegian Buhund is a great choice. It loves the outdoors and it can be a great companion for daily walks and jogging. Spending quality time to exercise and play games with your Buhund is the best way to foster a good relationship with your dog.

The Norwegian Buhund is very intelligent. It is independent-minded and has its own way of doing things. You will be surprised at some of the things it is capable of.

Cons

Because it has a mind of its own, a Norwegian Buhund is not easy to train. It can get bored easily if you employ the same training method over and over again. You will need a lot of patience and creativity to train your Buhund. It is also a self-centered dog that seeks to please itself more than its owner.

A Norwegian Buhund doesn't like being alone, and it has a great need for human company. When it is bored, it has an appetite for destruction, especially if you are not around. It will become restless and rowdy when it is left alone, and it has a high-pitched bark that can be quite irritating.

A Norwegian Buhund is not a glamorous dog. It is rather plain in appearance, rugged looking and without much elegance. This dog is not suitable for trendy ladies who enjoy showing off their dogs. It is a blue collar dog that is more admired for its working abilities than its appearance.

The Norwegian Buhund is not a good dog to breed if you want to make money from breeding. It is quite a rare breed, but it is not an expensive dog. Not many people have heard about this breed, and it is not a popular breed among dog lovers.
