Regional Clubs

[vc_column_text]The NEAA is a national organization, welcoming as members owners and breeders from the United States, Canada, and many foreign countries.

There are fourteen Norwegian Elkhound regional or specialty clubs, which are also members. These clubs hold educational sessions, sponsor matches and specialty shows, and are particularly concerned with Norwegian Elkhound welfare on an local basis.

Regional Clubs often have picnics or fun social events, offer Meet the Breeds, Barn Hunts, or respond to rescue situations.  They are a local resource for advice on Norwegian Elkhounds on grooming, training, and other questions.[/vc_column_text]Find Clubs[/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner]

The Association was organized and continues to exist for the purpose of encouraging the responsible breeding of purebred Norwegian Elkhounds, developing and bringing to perfection their natural high qualities, and doing all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed in competitive events and as a companion dog.[/vc_column_text]
