Norwegian Elkhound

The Norwegian Elkhound, or simply Elkhound, stands among Europe's oldest breeds of dog. This spitz-type canine is known for its rather wolf-like appearance and robust build. The breed’s name is somewhat of a misnomer, however, as the Elkhound was never intended to hunt elk. Even today, they are not considered a genuine hound. In Norwegian, “elg” means moose and “hund” means dog.
