NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS I am sure many of you will have heard of Buhunds doing Barn Hunts in the US. The sport is based on the hunting team work where rat catchers and their dogs used to travel the country side, ridding farms of the vermin which we all know can cause a great deal of […]

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS Recently Bill Mcbain lost this battle with cancer; many years ago he successfully bred and showed Buhunds under the Willmac affix.
