Anyone have a Lundehund?

[Salty]

I had never heard of one, but my brother-in-law has found one & he needs a home.

He's very affectionate & well-behaved, but the info I read on them says that they can be difficult, with a wandering bone--and that they can have serious metabolic problems.

He has the backwards-facing extra toes, the ears that fold shut either backwards or forwards, the extra joint in his neck that enables him to lay his head backwards along his back--the whole shebang.

It sounds as if he would need an experienced dog person, with plenty of time and a fenced yard. We want to make sure he finds a great home.

Thanks for any information!

I have never heard of Lundehund but have re-homed a few Grabenhund.

Thanks for the PMs--I've sent you replies.

It seems that the dog has found a home! He'll get to go running with his new person and most likely get to go to work with him, too.

If it doesn't pan out, I'll let you know. What a sweet, fascinating little puffin-hunter he is!
