About Norwegian Lundehunds
Norwegian Lundehund Summary
Breed history
The Norwegian Lundehund hails from the remote islands of northern Norway, where it was originally bred to hunt puffins (“lunde” in Norwegian) along steep coastal cliffs. These small, agile dogs were invaluable to coastal communities for centuries, climbing rocky terrain and retrieving live birds from burrows and crevices. Their remarkable flexibility and extra toes evolved specifically for this demanding job. With the decline of puffin hunting in the 1800s and 1900s, the breed nearly vanished — saved only by a handful of dedicated breeders after World War II. Today, it remains one of the world’s rarest breeds, celebrated as a living piece of Norwegian heritage.

Waitlist times for a Norwegian Lundehund puppy in Manitoba vary based on breeder demand and how often litters are planned.

On Paction, puppy buyers can join breed-specific waitlists and receive updates when responsibly planned litters become available, helping families find the right puppy without pressure or rushed decisions.
