Puppies are starting to show their personalities… Yes, I put a lot of work into my puppies from a very young age to set them up for success. Always giving new experiences and evaluating them. They are now three and a half weeks old. (These are just the boys)

The Ruckus x Busy pups made their way into the world Aug 3. All 4 are boys. So excited for this litter as there are so many versatile great dogs behind them (herding, dock scent work, barn hunt, fast cat, diving, Search and Rescue, obedience, and some of the top record setting show dogs in the breed). And not to mention absolute wonderful lifelong companions!!!

About Ruckus
Ruckus is currently the only breeding male out of his history setting father, Buzz. I have been in love with Ruckus since Erika (breeder) sent me a short video clip of his attitude at two weeks of age with the caption, I believe this one is yours, lol. You have NO idea how many Buhunds litters I have looked at over the years passing over looking for this guy and all the sudden at two weeks of age, it was pretty clear he was what I had been looking for! And he has been living up to expectations ever since.
This boy is my HEART dog! He is everything a Buhund should be, except gentle, lol. He is more of a bull in a china shop. I absolutely LOVE his heart, drive, disposition, expressiveness, energy, trainability, work ethic, and he is just stunning to watch. He is my everything dog and a mirror of his sire in almost every way. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and loves everything and everybody.
Ruckus only needs one point to finish his CH, very limited showing. He is just three and matured to start specialing him in 2026! Barn hunt, comp obedience, dock diving, herding, snuggle buddy, tracking, retrieve, scent work, farm life, travel buddy, daily comedian, go anywhere do everything type of dog. He is loved by everybody who meets him. There is not a thing this boy wouldn’t do for me, except maybe eat a lemon…but he’ll sure try.
I am so looking forward to having a couple of his puppies. This boy IS the full Buhund package! He was most definitely worth the wait!!! As in all 4 years of waiting litter after litter in the breed looking for him. Like his grandma Binna and his sire Buzz and grandpa Kendall…he is one of those once in a lifetime dogs
Taboo, mom
Norwegian Buhund
About Taboo

Brook has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
Busy, mom
Norwegian Buhund
About Busy
Busy is more of the typical Buhund. Very sweet, light on her feet, gentle with children, independent, moderate drive. She is absolutely beautiful in her structure and movement. She is half sister to the top Buhund in US to date. If you watch dog shows on tv, you have seen Buzz! She is perfection of square, called for in the breed standard.
This is her last breeding as she will be retired. This is a breeder’s litter and breeding was bred specifically for me to keep a pup or two out of that are top show, working, and sport prospects.
