Norwegian Lundehund Health Guide

Back to Norwegian Lundehund Overview

Understanding the health profile of the Norwegian Lundehund helps owners make informed decisions about screening, insurance, and preventive care. Like many pedigree breeds, the Norwegian Lundehund has a number of documented health concerns worth understanding before ownership. With attentive care, most Norwegian Lundehunds can be expected to live 12–14 years. Smaller breeds often enjoy longer lifespans but can be prone to dental disease and patellar luxation; regular dental care and weight monitoring are particularly important.
