Think your pup has what it takes to brave the Sochi climate and bring back the gold at the Winter Games? Here are our favorite picks for breeds that could dominate the 2014 Winter Olympics, along with the sport we’d like to see them participate in.

With unique features like six toes on each foot and the ability to tip their head backward until it touches their backbone, the Norwegian Lundehund has the perfect blend of flexibility and agility for figure skating.

An arctic breed originally used to hunt Puffin birds, the Lundehund makes a loyal, playful companion, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). Image: via Shutterstock
