Norwegian Elkhound puppies for sale in Manitoba

Breed history

The Norwegian Elkhound is one of the oldest spitz-type breeds, with a history tracing back over 6,000 years to Scandinavia. This breed was originally developed to hunt large game such as moose (or “elk” in Scandinavian terms), bears, and wolves. Renowned for their courage, stamina, and loyalty, Norwegian Elkhounds also served as guardians and companions to their Viking owners. Today, they are celebrated for their versatility as hunting dogs, watchdogs, and family pets.
