Elkhound puppies

Like other northern-type dogs, the Norwegian Elkhound is a relatively independent animal. This independence is needed as long as the dog is keeping the elk waiting for the hunter, but it can be a problem when it comes to obedience training. The Elkhound's watchdog talents are evident in his tendency to defend territory and bark more dogs of other breeds.
