10 Rare Dog Breeds From Around the World

Norwegian Lundehund

The lundehund originates in Norway, where its primary job was a puffin hunter. After WWII, these energetic and alert dogs also reached near-extinction. The Norwegian Lundehund Association of American, Inc. says that this small breed weighs only 13 to 16 pounds and can climb almost anything. They require a lot of coat care and are heavy shedders. Lundehunds range in price from $500 to several thousand.
