About The Breed

The Norwegian Elkhound is a medium-sized, hardy dog known for its striking silver-gray coat and wolf-like appearance. Originally bred in Norway for hunting large game like elk, this breed is intelligent, courageous, and strong-willed. Norwegian Elkhounds are loyal and affectionate with their families but can be reserved with strangers. They are highly energetic and enjoy outdoor activities, making them well-suited for active families or individuals who can provide regular exercise. Their thick double coat requires regular grooming, especially during shedding seasons. With proper training and socialization, the Norwegian Elkhound is a great companion and a reliable, protective watchdog.
