[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 662091, member: 14557"] Elkhounds around here are bred purely for hunting and not even sold those who are not looking a hunting dog. While hubby does hunt he is not enthusiast enough to want a hunting dog, especially when he can borrow in-laws dogs. Hubby's dad has also an elkhound. Great dog but when he gets out of leash he will start looking for moose straight away and after finding them will stay with them even over a day barking them. Great helper for moose hunting, not so much for finding people. The dog we lost was very similar to elkhounds in many ways expect not being a hunting dog but originally a reindeer hearder instead. But the temperament, size and even the looks are very similar. And in the end the choice of breed comes into what type of dog I will end up looking for. Family pet and running companion or working dog. Our remaining dog is former, pet and running buddy, alaskan malamute and we do some cani cross and skijording with him. But he too is already eight years old and while that is not old the first signs of him getting older can be seen already. [/QUOTE]
