Norwegian Lundehund History

The Norwegian Lundehund is probably one of the ancient dog breeds of the Scandinavian region, although the breed’s exact age is unknown, the Lundehund has the same jaw as the Varanger dog, a fossilized canine that lived 5000 years ago. Both of the breeds have two fewer teeth than all other dogs, one on each side of their jaw.

The Lundehunds were on Værøy for centuries, on a remote, craggy island off the Norwegian west coast. There are descriptions more than 400 years old, stating that the breed was used for puffin hunting. Puffins, also known as sea parrots, were an important source of comestible for the farmers living on these remote islands. The nests of these birds were in cliff walls, therefore only the Lundehund’s narrow, strong, and the flexible body was able to reach the nests and snatch birds. They had to climb the sheer rock walls, worm their way into tiny passages, then after the successful hunt, they had to skid down the cliffs to bring their owners food on the long Arctic winters. In Norwegian the word “Lunde” means puffin, so the breed’s name translates as “puffin-hunter” in the local language.

By the 1850s, many fishing communities along the Norwegian coast became depopulated, and the use of nets to catch puffins was introduced. Many island residents were not able to afford the dogs anymore, because the government started to levy taxes on Lundehunds. As a consequence of these developments, the need for Lundehunds declined and the breed’s numbers drastically decreased. The breed, by the early 20th century nearly became extinct.

In the 1930s the remaining Lundehunds were found in a fishing village named Mastad, on the island of its origin, Værøy. The breed would have disappeared if it were not for Mr. and Mrs. Christie, a couple in south-eastern Norway. They started to breed the dogs during World War II., and as a result, the Lundehund population began to increase on the island of Værøy. Because of the intense over-breeding, the Lundehund population in the late 1950s was almost wiped out, due to a canine distemper that hit the south-eastern part of Norway. Fortunately, Mrs. Christie did not give up, in 1960 she rescued five dogs from Mastad, and with the involvement of other breeders, she saved the Lundehund from extinction.

The Lundehund possesses several unusual and unique anatomic characteristics, that were likely in primitive early dog breeds, but were lost as modern breeding evolved. They can fold their ears closed, forward, and even backward at will. Unlike other breeds, they have six fully developed toes on each foot, not dewclaws, but toes. Two-point inward and four-point forward. These extra toes provided the Lundehunds more stability, traction, and grip on the steep, sheer rocky walls and in the tiny passages. The Lundehunds are also extremely flexible, they can bend in ways that most dogs are unable to. For instance, they can touch their back with the top of their head.
