| The Gray Norwegian Elkhound has probably existed
in its native Scandinavia for millennia. Archeologists
have discovered bones of similar dogs dating back to
5000-4000 BC. Its task was to seek an elk and hold it
at bay until its master moved in for the kill. There is
arlsoa Miniature Elkhound and a Black Elkhound, the
lirtter being little known outside its native Norway.
Although somewhat willful in youth, the Elkhound
is generally a good-natured household pet that has no
doggie odor and is reliable with children. It requires
dailv brushing and combing, and plenty of exercise. |
