Dogs of Norway – Norsk Elghund Graa
Norwegian Moosedog Gray
THE VERSATILE NORWEGIAN ELKHOUND
The Norwegian Elkhound is a hardy, gray hunting dog. In appearance, a typical northern dog of medium size and substance, square in profile, close coupled and balanced in proportions. The head is broad with prick ears, and the tail is tightly curled and carried over the back. The distinctive gray coat is dense and smooth lying.
As a hunter, the Norwegian Elkhound has the courage, agility and stamina to hold moose and other big game at bay by barking and dodging attack, and the endurance to track for long hours in all weather over rough and varied terrain.
