 Origin:
The Norwegian Elkhound has been honored as the national dog of Norway.
He descends from Spitz-type dogs known in Scandinavia since Viking times
(AD 800-1000) and perhaps even earlier since archaeological findings in
west Norway included two dog skeletons dating to 4000 to 5000 BC that
are similar in structure to today's Norwegian Elkhounds. In their
homeland, Norwegian Elkhounds have been used to pull sleds, guard home
and family, do mountain rescue and hunt big game such as moose and bear
as well as smaller quarry. The breed was known as the Elghund,
meaning "moose dog," but it became Elkhound in English.Temperament: Bold and energetic, the Norwegian Elkhound is an excellent family pet and guardian noted for being good with children. Activity level: A dog of great endurance and stamina, the Norwegian Elkhound is relatively tireless and likes having a job to do. He's a rugged outdoor type that needs plenty of exercise. Height/Weight: The compact, solidly built Norwegian Elkhound dog stands about 20.5 in (52 cm) at the shoulder. Females may be somewhat smaller. Coat: The coat is thick, rich and hard but smooth-lying. On the head and front of legs, it's short and even. Colour: The Norwegian Elkhound is grey in color with black tips to the long, covering hairs. Grooming: Regular, thorough brushing is the only grooming attention required. Photo:
