The Westminster Kennel Club introduces three new breeds this week. Today, the Buhund premieres with the Pyrenean shepherd in the herding group. On Tuesday, debuting in the sporting group is the Irish red and white setter aka the pyr shep. Getting press last week for that new setter breed was Alchemy.

But today, it’s the adorable Norwegian Buhund that is generating all the buzz.

The American Kennel club says the following about the Buhund:

“The Norwegian Buhund belongs to a large class of dogs called the Spitz type. They all have in common the prick up-ears and a curled tail. There are many variations in size, coat and color among the Spitz breeds.“

“Besides working ability, Buhunds are trained to aid the hearing handicapped, perform some types of police work, and score well in obedience and agility trials. In olden times they hunted bear and wolf. Today they work with livestock and guard home and family. The Buhund is considered by many researchers to be the easiest of the Spitz breeds to train due to their innate desire to please plus a quick learning aptitude. Their Spitz independence is an asset if they have to be left alone for awhile.”
