Man where do you buy your harness and if so do they have a site cant afford anything to much money I am only 12 and have been saving and getting jobs such as walking dogs feeding dogs and mowing grass I take care of peoples pets when they go places haha got 52 dollars and 4 cents hope to spend it for my pups they come first my mom said if I got a dog I had to buy food and now I got three haha I am spending some on me and my cat as well so anyways just tell my the site links dont work in comments
ive had 4 keeshonds (relative to elkhound) and one samoyed(looks like your elky). they're not much for huntin though and i love to hunt so i would love to have one of these. where can i get one?
@jimbobsports You probably have to get one from Sweden, Norway or Finland. Contact the Swedish White Elkhound association at "vitalghund.se" for more information.
@TheRyesick1 Thanks! I will say it’s a combination between instinct/nature and systematic training. The dogs nature/instinct is partly controlled by breeding, and the training involves bringing the best out of the dog both mental and physical. In Norway the dog and handler must undergo some tests if we are to use the dog for big game hunting, and that requires a fair amount of training.
@vargafrost I have an Elkhound and she is lovely but I got her to tramp with and she gets very hot in the summertime being dark-colored. She is 7 now and we are in New Zealand. However I am interested in the Jamthund down-the-road for a tramping dog since they are part Norwegian Elkhound and have many similarities. Are the white Jamthunds more expensive maybe due to being less available than the more common grey ones? Also do they tend to bark a lot at many noises? Mine does. Thanks.
@anglinthemtns This is a Swedish White Elkhound, it is not the same breed as Jämthund. They are very calm and don’t bark much. They are known for their exceptional good disposition. The breed is not more expensive than other elkhounds, but they are as you assumed less availably because it is a relatively new breed and because of fast growing popularity.

@vargafrost Wikipedia states that the Swedish Elkhound is part Jamthund and part Norwegian Elkhound- you may wish to check this. The white Jamthunds do not look like the Norwegian Elkhound much but your dog looks like the grey Norwegian Elkhound but white- so why then is this breed not called a White Norwegian Elkhound instead of a Swedish Norwegian Elkhound if it is not part Jamthund? Perhaps this info is not correct on Wikipedia and someone should correct it. Thanks.
@anglinthemtns Swedish White Elkhound must not be confused with Swedish Elkhound (Jämthund). I think maybe you’re confused by these terms of use. I can’t find any listing of Swedish White Elkhound on wiki in English language, only Jämthund (Swedish Elkhound) and Norwegian Elkhound. The Swedish White Elkhound was bred in Sweden in the 1940’s by a number of different spitz type dogs.
@anglinthemtns Unfortunately my English isn’t good enough to give you a proper explanation about this, but I hope you understand that the breed is a unique breed despite similarities to the Jämthund and Norwegian Elkhound.
hej, underbart fint land och hund, var är de flesta fotona tagna om man får fråga? bor i marks kommun söder om göteborg, men tar nog hundarna på en resa norrut snart :)
Ja, Juli og August er nok den fineste tida her oppe :-) Min søster jobber med turistinfo her, så det er bare å ta kontakt hvis dere vil ha brosjyrer og annen info :-)
Hunden vil nok stadig være god ja, men det kan bli problemer med å få handlet valp av seriøse oppdrettere av rasen, da de ofte krever at hunden blir brukt i jakt.
Fenris mener jeg skulle være det beste hundenavnet, pga. at det inneholder r og s som er kraftige konsonanter, som oppfattes lett av ett hundeøre. Også er det jo assoisasjoner til Fenrisulven av Norrøn Mytologi :-)
Ja syntes det ville passe bedst med et navn der havde noget at gøre med hundes oprindelse :)
Det er svært at finde Norsk elghund avlere i Danmark tilgengæld, det kan være jeg bliver nød til at tage til Sverige eller Norge for at finde en avler.
Looks more like a norsk buhund

Beautiful dog! Are they natural hunters, or does it require alot of training, for a reliable hunter?

Troede elghunde var norske?
SweetPlague 2 years ago
Finnes mange elghundraser, både norske og svenske :-)
vargafrost 2 years ago
Nå okay :)
Overvejer stærkt at købe en grå norsk elghund og kalde den "Tjalfe".
Ved du noget om Norske Elghunde?
Hvad skal jeg være obs på? pleje af hår? støjende? aktivitets niveau? osv.
SweetPlague 2 years ago
Kjenner litt til rasen ja.
Gråhunden har som oftest godt gemytt, og er lett og dressere. Den kan nok være noe støyende hvis den må stå i bånd, og ikke får være løs.
Regelmessig pelsstell, og i røyteperiodene trenger den daglig pelsstell.
Gråhunden er en utpreget jakthund med sterke jaktinstinkter, og den trives best når den får utøvet disse.
vargafrost 2 years ago
Bor i Danmark pt. men overvejer at flytte til Jamtland eller Jappland ude ved skovene, så jeg kan gå på jagt med hunden.
Men er hunden stadig god at have selvom man ikke går på jagt?
SweetPlague 2 years ago
Hunden vil nok stadig være god ja, men det kan bli problemer med å få handlet valp av seriøse oppdrettere av rasen, da de ofte krever at hunden blir brukt i jakt.
vargafrost 2 years ago
Hm tror jeg får mig en på trods af jeg ikke har jagt muligheder.
Ved godt navnet er lidt underordnet, men hvad synes du lyder best til den slags hund? "Tjalfe" eller "Fenris" ?
SweetPlague 2 years ago
Fenris mener jeg skulle være det beste hundenavnet, pga. at det inneholder r og s som er kraftige konsonanter, som oppfattes lett av ett hundeøre. Også er det jo assoisasjoner til Fenrisulven av Norrøn Mytologi :-)
