What do Norwegian Lundehunds look like?

Norwegian Lundehunds have a distinct, somewhat fox-like appearance and a compact build. They typically have a thick, soft undercoat and a longer, coarser topcoat. Their triangular, upright ears give them an alert look.

What makes Norwegian Lundehunds truly unique are their physical adaptations for hunting puffins on cliffs. They have six toes on each foot, giving them exceptional balance and grip on uneven surfaces. Additionally, they have flexible shoulder joints and can bend their head backward to touch their spine, helping them maneuver in tight spaces. Their ears can also close to block out debris, another adaptation for working in rough environments. These characteristics give them a one-of-a-kind look and incredible agility.
