Norwegian Buhunds originate from the Coasts of Norway, and can be traced back to 900 AD, making them an extremely old breed! It's thought that the Vikings travelled with the breed as they were found buried in Viking Graves. They were originally bred to hunt large predators, like bears and sometimes even Wolves!
