Longships Norwegian Elkhounds was started as a tribute to those dogs who can do it all..I started with Norwegian Elkhounds in obedience and later started to show in conformation. My main hope was to continue a tradition of strong healthy and smart dogs, who not only could win breed championships but prove their mettle in the obedience and agility rings. I have only bred one litter, but the dogs from that mating went far beyond my dreams.
One dog became not only a champion but the first MACH Norwegian Elkhound to this day.
The dog that I kept from that litter earned his championship and excelled in obedience as well as agility.
Two of the puppies became service dogs and the third male was also active in agility and obedience.
This litter became the standard for my motto.... Longships- Where Norwegian Elkhounds reach their highest potential.
Currently I am retired and live with my husband in rural west central Wisconsin. I have a talented energetic four year old female who loves hunting chipmunks and my beautiful new male who is just starting his show career with a bang. I will not be breeding in the future, but will continue to show in conformation, obedience and tracking.
My Norwegian Elkhounds and I have participated in Breed Conformation, Obedience, Agility, Tracking, Scent Hurdle, Carting, Herding, Pet Therapy and Hunting. I find this breed can really do it all.
