The Norwegian Buhund experience
You know you're a Norwegian Buhund owner when...
●The bark. Not aggressive, not anxious, just editorial. The Buhund has OPINIONS and they will share them at volume. A door opened? Bark. A bird exists? Bark. You said 'walk'? Three barks and a spin.
●That wheaten coat catching the light and making your dog look like a small golden wolf who accidentally wandered out of a fairy tale and decided your couch was better.
●The herding instinct that has zero sheep to work with, so your children, your cats, and your dinner guests all get gently rounded up instead.
●Watching them learn a new trick in three repetitions and then immediately try to negotiate better treat compensation, they're smart AND they know it.
●The spitz tail, curled so tight over the back it looks spring-loaded, and how it unfurls just slightly when they're sleeping, the only time they truly power down.
