🐾 Meet the Breed Monday: Norwegian Elkhound 🐾 🕰 Breed History: An ancient breed dating back over 4,000 years. Developed in Norway to hunt moose and bear, working independently by tracking and barking to hold game until hunters arrived. AKC recognized in 1913. 🐶 Personality: Loyal, watchful, and affectionate with their people — but confidently opinionated. Many have a great off switch at home, with plenty of “talking,” laughs, and classic Elkhound hugs 😅. 🎾 Activity Level: Moderate to high.
