Dog of the
Vikings
As rugged as the land from which he sprang, the Norwegian Elkhound was a cherished possession of his Viking masters, and he appears in many of the old sagas. Although he is known as the “Dog of the Vikings,” the Elkhounds earliest association with man dates from much earlier.
Meet An Elkhound
Ready to Meet a Norwegian Elkhound?
Find us at our National Specialty or events across the U.S. We compete in conformation (dog shows), agility, obedience, herding, barn hunt, and so much more. Regional Clubs have picnics and get-togethers too.
Our local Breed Ambassadors welcome you to meet their elkhounds and be friendly guides into our breed.
So let your journey begin into our ancient breed…

NEAA Find A Dog is a public referral service to help connect breeders, puppies and available dogs with new owners.
Submissions are sent to our Breed Ambassadors, as well as breeders, or owners with available dogs.
Our volunteer Breed Ambassadors also reach out to answer any questions that you might have about our ancient breed.
