The Norwegian Buhund Club of America was formed in 1983 by Aud-Marie Ferstad Maroni, the president, as a Specialty Club devoted to protecting the interests of the Norwegian Buhund. Her officers were Dr. J.J. Henry, Vice-President and Dr. Sarita Rainey, Secretary.

Mrs. Maroni returned to Norway to live in 1989 and asked Mrs. Jan Barringer to replace her as President to keep the club going. Mrs. Barringer sent questionnaires to U.S. Buhund owners and four newsletters per year have been sent to current paid members since 1989.
