About the Breed
A breed which is often confused by the casual observer with
the Keeshond is the Elkhound, a Scandinavian elk-hunting dog.
A member of the Spitz group this breed is typically reliable
as a bird-, elk-, or bear-hunter. Instead of simply locating
quarry, these dogs actually sought to drive it towards the
hunter, which called for a considerable degree of courage.
It was introduced into Britain in the 1870s, but it hung fire
for a while. Later it gathered a band of supporters, until
in 1923, when the British Elkhound Society was formed, it
became firmly established. The Elkhound, since its recognition
by the English and American kennel Clubs, is very popular
on both sides of the Atlantic. They have remained tough, hardy
dogs and make devoted companions. An active breed, Elkhounds
require plenty of exercise and can be trained quite easily.
