Gustov, a Norwegian Elkhound The Norwegian Elkhound is one of the ancient Northern Spitz-type breed of dog and is the National Dog of Norway. The Elkhound has served as a hunter, guardian, herder, and defender. In a land of subzero temperatures, deep snow, thick forests, and rugged mountains, only the hardiest of the breeds could evolve to perform the variety of jobs at which the Elkhound excels. Norwegian Elkhounds are bred for hunting large game, such as wolf, bear & moose. The Elkhound has a very strong drive and it is not unheard of for an Elkhound to go through a plate-glass window when motivated by its quarry. Although the breed is strong and hardy, the dogs have an inseparable bond with their masters and are quite loyal. Although he is gone, he left a wonderful impression...like a snow day...a happy thing
