[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 629818, member: 14557"] And other, totally off topic question I have had in mind to ask from you Dstc many times: How have you ended up with a Norweigian Elkhound? It is of course quite popular breed in my neck of woods, but it is considered to be a 100 % working dog, while being a nice companion in the side. No one takes one, if they are not avid hunters. We ourself have a dog with bit similar character, Lapphund that has many characteristics common with Elkhunds (both Norweigian and other Scandinavian similar breeds) but that is originally a reindeer herder. My father in law does have a Norweigian Elkhound though. Lovely dog, but 100 % hunting dog, lives to work and has no trouble hunting elks for 12 or 16 hours in row (in fact the trouble tends to be in getting him to leave the workplace and to come home to eat and sleep.) Friendly, stable and steady character is truly lovely, but I would really not want to come up with activity for him if there weren't hunting. And they tend to enjoy their own voice too (though, so do Lapphunds, you can bet that no one comes to our yard without us knowing, not a human being or a squirrel and I have had to draw a firm line to flies and bees. And that took some work too.) [/QUOTE]
