frankmayfield Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I am adopting a Norwegian Elkhound within the next week. Does anyone have any insight into their behavior? Has anyone had any experience with them. From what I can tell he should be a good match for Maverick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 oh wow congratulations! I've no experience with them at all but wish you all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankmayfield Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 oh wow congratulations! I've no experience with them at all but wish you all the best Thank you. He seems like a sweet puppy. I thought Maverick might want someone to play with that was similar in size (eventually) instead of the poor cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Awww what a beautiful doggie! I read somewhere in a personal blog that Elkhounds are very active and playful. A good friend for huskies for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aronoiiel Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I feel so lucky we have such a diversity of dog parks here I've met a large array of dogs and an two Elkhounds are included LOL. They are amazing dogs loyal, loving, and very well rounded when raised properly like any dog. They can most definitely hold their own to a husky and even out play them lol. Kiana was very happy to play with the ones at our smaller dog park until they tired her out and still wanted to play. The owner also runs his hounds in a rig which I was sooooo jealous of LOL. I have to admit this would be the next breed I"d want to own when the time is right I was rather impressed with the ones at our park. They are very active dogs to so if your into walking and hiking alot they also make an excellent companion with a husky Good luck and keep the pics coming just love this breed <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollys Dad Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Congrats! He is a beautiful dog. You might find people asking if he is a Husky as so many people ask if Huskies are something else, including Elkhounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollys Dad Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks everyone, I just found out tonight that I can pick him up Friday. His name will be Loki. I am crazy excited.
