Customer Reviews

Pretty good Norwegian elkhound book

There isnt many books about this breed, we purchased a couple and this is the best one, has a lot of information on the breed and is not so "dog template book" like as many other are, although it has some. I wish it would talk more about the chewing needs of elkhounds, which really is pretty extensive and not emphasized so much in this book. It has its errors, I happen to be norwegian so I know a few things about it - e.g. the literal transaltion of the norwegian name is "Moose Dog" (ElgHund), which someone back in the 1800's wrongfully translated to elkhound... overall a recommended book.

Norwegian Elkhounds

Very comprehensive and thorough look at the Norwegian Elkhound breed. Gives the history of the breed as well as an excellent discription of the breed and their temporament, both positive and negative points. Great book to have if you are considering an Elkhound, or, already have one.
