Here are a few notable Norwegian breeds and their characteristics:

Norwegian Buhund:

•Physical: Another spitz-type, medium-sized with a dense double coat. It comes in wheaten or black.

•Temperament: Energetic, friendly, and affectionate. It's also a good watchdog due to its alert nature.

Norwegian Lundehund:

•Physical: Small and agile with several unique features, including six toes on each foot and the ability to tip its head backward to touch its backbone.

Dunker (Norwegian Hound):

Each of these breeds reflects Norway's environment and the specific tasks they were bred for. 

However, as with all breeds, individual dogs' temperaments can vary, and it's important to consider the specific needs and behaviors of each breed if thinking about acquiring one.
