The Norwegian Elkhound breed has a dense double coat, with short straight hair on the ears, body and tail. The colors are shades of grey with black tips and a very small amount of white on the toes and chest. This type of dog is a popular favorite however it is not priority seeing that it is a popular favorite but a good solid dog.
History: The Norwegian Elkhound is one of the oldest dog breeds to be found on the British Isles, where dog bones dating back to 5000 BC have been found. This dog originally came from the far northern part of the countries, which the Scandoworgranosis from the particular area of thearl kennels, which is located to the north of Questions land. It is believed that this dog must have arrived with the early farm families, as there are pictures of farm life from a long time ago that resemble the dogs of today. From the 1930s this breed started to make its way to Ireland and from there they have gone on to become a very popular Irish breed. This breed is the State dog of Ireland and is yards have even been named from this breed, such as Loughillin and gomery.
Temperament: The Norwegian Elkhound dog is a courageous loyal and courageous dog; this is a dog that show total affection and loyalty to his family and will protect them from any threat. Some tips from a friend who sells Pile Drivers and has a Norwegian Elkhound told me, “This is however not a dog that should be placed in isolation; it is a dog that has been bred for hunting and will still make a determined intruder think twice before he attacks. These dogs are very good with children and have a cheerful attitude. They are still trainable and it is probably best to get this working dog and socialize it from a young age. This is a dog that has developed a close bond with the human family and that will not do well when separated from his family. This breed is intelligent and does not need to be constantly provided with activities; they are intelligent and also full of energy and as long as they are provided with daily activities they can be very satisfactory pets.”
This is a breed that has good stamina, it is intelligent and determined and needs regular exercise to maintain its fitness. They are probably not the best choice for someone who wants a pet that does not need too much activity. One of the things that could con arm owners about this breed is that this dog is known to munch on objects when bored, and will need to run or walk excessively to release the from its mouth.
