The Norwegian Elkhound is one of the ancient breeds, used primarily as a hunter of big game. Today, the breed is recognized for its excellent guard abilities, though many families have adopted Norwegian Elkhounds as part of the family. These dogs are usually very good with children, acting as both protector and playmate. They’re fairly large – weighing in at around 50 pounds. The heavy coat makes them suited for cooler temperatures. If there’s a Norwegian Elkhound that you trust with your affection, take a look at our designs. Choose one for yourself or create a Norwegian Elkhound Children’s TShirt for that kid who also loves this dog.
