The Lundehund breed of dog has 6 toes on each foot, including two dewclaws, can close its ears, and has joints in the nape of its neck, which other dogs do not have, which means it can turn its head at 180 degree angle.

Quote from another website about the breed: LOL

The Norwegian Lundehund dog breed is one of the most "primitive" breeds. Therefore it is as stubborn as it can get and obstinate with a mind of its own.
