Norwegian Elkhound

Puppy Breeder 

 

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 (Native Performance by Kent Feeds) 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 currently do NOT have any puppies available.
