My family acquired two Norwegian Elkhound puppies last week - this is the third time our family has acquired dogs of this breed. Are you familiar with Norwegian Elkhounds?

The name of the breed is derived from a term which actually means "Moose hound", rather than referring to elk. My mother told me it is considered the official dog breed of Norway, befittingly, and during times of war the Norwegian government obliges all Norwegian Elkhounds in the country to be recruited for battle. Were you aware of any of these things previously?

She also told me that the Vikings greatly favoured Norwegian Elkhounds. There was apparently an old saying - from at least one of the countries the Vikings raided, though I can't recall which, "Beware the Norsemen and their dogs." Although they are excellent hunters and skilled in combat, Norwegian Elkhounds are also very loyal and dependable family members, who can be surprisingly laid back in the presence of loved ones. Do you find this to be an admirable combination of traits?
