Kyon Kennels’ Norwegian Buhunds
Leitegard’s Dristig-Per Kyon (the first Norwegian Buhund imported, by Kyon, in 1989)
Norwegian Buhund to Canada
Kyon Kennels introduced the Norwegian Buhund to Canada in 1989. We actively influenced the Canadian Kennel Club’s acceptance of the Norwegian Buhund as a fully recognized breed here by 1995. Since then we have bred Best in show winners, numerous champions, obedience trial champions, master agility dogs. We also take pride in producing just good farm dogs; the kind that like nothing better than to herd any type of lives-stock, from fowl, to goats and sheep, to beef cattle.

Kyon Norwegian Buhund
The Buhund is a highly intelligent herding dog of exceptional sweet temperament. This breed is an ideal house-dog since it is a naturally affectionate pet and highly trainable. A good Kyon Buhund will also be lovingly nurturing towards ALL babies, both of the human and furry kind. This is a breed for the discriminating buyer in that it is strikingly good-looking, with its medium size, thick; yet close-fitting coat, wheaten colour (ranging from pale cream to rich gold) and dark eyes. A good Buhund is agile and alert and like all Nordic breeds possesses a incredible independent intelligence, resulting in remarkable problem-solving skills.

• sweet and loving in temperament
