Norwegian Buhunds are hardwired to thrive in cooler environments and can withstand lower temperatures with ease. Their double coat, which consists of an outer layer that is resistant to the elements and a dense undercoat, keeps them warm even when it's cold outside. These canines have a rich history of helping farmers through severe weather and herding cattle in Norway's notoriously tough environment.

When it comes to cold weather, Norwegian Buhunds are just OK down to -15°C (5°F). Their thick fur serves to keep them warm and protected from the elements. A dog's age, health, and general condition are some of the many variables that should be considered when determining its temperature tolerance.

When the weather becomes warmer, Norwegian Buhunds could be more prone to heat stroke and need extra precautions to stay cool. If left unprotected in hot weather for long periods of time, they, like other dogs, are susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

To keep them hydrated, make sure they have access to shade, a cool, well-ventilated area, and drink. During warmer weather, take careful not to leave them in direct sunlight for long periods of time and keep an eye on how active they become.
