決める前に知っておくこと

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

ChallengeThe "Moose" Bark

This breed was genetically engineered to bark. In their native Norway, their job is to track moose (elk) and hold them at bay by barking rhythmically and continuously until the hunter arrives. This is not a trait that can be "trained out" completely. They will bark at squirrels, cars, delivery drivers, and leaves blowing in the wind. If you live in a noise-restricted community or share walls with neighbors, this breed is a.

ChallengeIndependent Thinking

Unlike a Golden Retriever that asks, "What can I do for you?", the Elkhound asks, "What's in it for me?" They are independent problem solvers. This manifests as "stubbornness" during training. They will often weigh the value of a treat against the interest of a scent and choose the scent.

ChallengeWanderlust

These dogs are trackers. If they catch a scent, their ears turn off, and they will follow it for miles. They cannot be trusted off-leash in unfenced areas. Their recall is notoriously unreliable when prey drive is activated.
