Welcome to the Hill Elkhound Family Farm Website!
About Us Norwegian Elkhound
Puppy Breeder (This page was last updated on: November 13, 2009)  We are a small-farm family that lives a few miles outside the rural central Illinois town of Nokomis. We greatly admire the Norwegian Elkhound breed and have chosen to raise them exclusively -- we have no other dog breed on our farm. We are hobby breeders that produce only a few litters of puppies a year. We cherish our integrity and simply desire to fill the need of other hearts/homes that seek an Elkhound puppy to love.
We believe Elkhounds to be the best all-around
breed for our family & farm. We do all we can to maintain or even improve the standard quality of our dogs as we have pups to share. We don't breed for show quality, but merely to provide other families with what we believe to be ideal pets and companions. Some of our pups, however, do tend to look very close in comparison to those seen in books as champions. Therefore, we have no restrictions on the pups we sell with show potential and would be thrilled to know how they do in the ring if their new owner chooses to participate in competitions.
We give great effort to prolong the health of our dogs & their offspring by feeding high quality food (Purina ProPlan) as well as keeping worming current monthly with Intreceptor and shots up to date.
We only breed our dogs ocassionally, therefore we are able to provide the pups with plenty of care and socialization. We train our dogs to behave appropriately and enjoy their company everyday. They are raised outdoors but live in kennels attached to outbuildings, so they naturally learn to go outside for their "business" from an early age. Our dogs are also raised around cats, they like to play with (and tease) them, but are never aggressive enough to hurt them and stops once the cat says "that's enough" (hiss-meow). We also have added a couple miniature d  onkeys to our farm! Although not the purpose in getting the new animals, we are curious if they can be a tool in training our dogs with herding skills. It definately has taught them to keep some distance in their technique LOL! Here is a picture of our newest baby born on October 31, 2009 --- Benji. We currently DO NOT have any puppies available. HOWEVER, Feel free to view the Current Puppies tab to see our most recent litter of already reserved pups. IF you want to know when we have puppies again...
