Here is a collection of information on the health problems Buhunds can be affected by.

• Pulverulent Cataract - "buhundkatarakt" -- Please note that the direct translation of the Norwegian word "katarakt" DOES NOT translate to the English word cataract. This condition is not one that affects vision..
  
  
• Lens Changes in the Buhund -- this is a scanned image of a document which describes the 3 different conditions which can affect a Buhund -- the focus of this document is the "buhundkatarakt". 
  • Type I - a feather-like change, which affects the suture lines in the lens - this is said to NOT affect vision, unless the feather lines are dense. Dogs with this condition CAN be bred from, but should NOT be bred to another dog with the same condition 
  • Type II - the Developmental Cataract -- which causes BLINDNESS. Dogs with developmental cataracts should NEVER be bred from.
  • Type III - the Pulverulent Cataract, also known as the "buhundkatarakt." Dogs with this condition CAN be bred from, but should NOT be bred to another dog with the same condition.
    
    
• Hip Dysplasia ... like just about every other breed in the world, Buhunds can be affected by hip dysplasia... this is why it is CRITICAL for EVERY breeder to ensure EVERY puppy they sell, whether for breeding/showing stock or as pets encourage the new owners to have their puppies tested for hip dysplasia. It is a simple x-ray exam, done under anesthetic, which can cost less than 100 dollars. This link will take you to an interesting article I found on the web, complete with 2 photos of x-rays.
