I have had the honor to hike with certain old world Elkhound genetics that I have seen and witnessed carry forward generation after generation. I am a preservation breeder so I maintain working lineages of Norwegian and Swedish Elkhounds.
Off Leash Genetic Transfer
Genetics transfer from one ancient Elkhound to another in great lineages
Our great co-breeders now carry this same tradition forward with me and they too now begin to witness and see this amazing ability of strong ancient genetics shine through.
Some of the lines we carry I have hiked with 5 generations at 1 time, yes, so amazing. I may not get that opportunity to have that many lines on the ground at one time again, but it’s sheer amazement when you see all 5 exhibiting the exact same behaviors and traits.
The old Scandinavian breeders, many of the great breeders were sought out by hunters for decades and decades as those old breeders maintained a set of great base dogs. Their entire operation consisted of genetics that worked.
Today we have families that have 3 sometimes a few now are on the fourth Elkhound with us. They come for related dogs and similar behaviors that were present in the past dog. It’s extremely had to find lineage breeders and of course we are the only “Preservation Breeder” left in North America.
Some of our very best genetics are present today in our existing foundation females and a great deal of them have made their way to Michael and Sarah’s. His operation models the old world breeders so closely, pack oriented, out and about as a group and individually, he is able to see behavior and traits as they did for centuries.
Soon he has a litter coming from Rita, this is our famous Norrland bloodline as well her pal, Revna is also going to be whelping, again, Norrland bloodline. For those that might not be aware if you are new to Norwegian or Swedish Elkhounds, the foundation of Norwegian Elkhounds guide and association outline was based on a famous Norrland bloodline dog, Gamle-Bamse-Gram.
These are the oldest known lineages and were selected for literally forever as hiking and hunting companions. They are renowned as astute and aware dogs of the environment, always focused on the handler and the ability to maintain connection with the handler in rugged terrain.
If you wish to have an instinctive, trait oriented outdoor dog that has been known for centuries as the very best rugged terrain and family handler oriented then we have that lineage.
Coming soon are pups of exceptional quality. Astoundingly both Rita and Revna are daughters of our Finnish born Rock Star Karu. He himself is unique in the world as the only time his genetic has ever left the old country, he brings it to North America.
The two magnificent females Rita and Revna both are bred to none other than the world Famous Pretty Boy Leif. I have talked and talked about how great he is, he is all over my sites. Both the mothers of Rita and Revna, as well as the Grand mother of Revna have been mated to Leif. Exceptional dogs beyond belief have proven this genetic combination is profound.
