We have had such a great response from every angle on the Full Bloods it’s WILD!

First off, no one can believe how beautiful they are, stunning dogs in every single way.

Second, how incredible the concept and practice is to bring back the Elkhounds and slow the process of losing genetics.

Third, many people are finally starting to understand what has been happening over say, even the last 50 years, but longer, but just that everyone is getting information now. The Full Blood Elkhounds bring to light all the danger of separating genetics by type and removing them from the main base. People for years, decades in fact had no clue that Full Bloods actually existed previously.

Fourth, for a huge range of our existing clients, those that had great hearts and minds toward preservation breeding. They now are embracing the Full Blood Elkhound return. Just this week we will have families that have two previous Norwegian Elkhounds from us, now bringing a Full Blood. They are thrilled to be part of actually engaging in “Saving” the genetics of the Norwegian Elkhound, which they love, by embracing the addition of the Full Blood, which ultimately created their Norwegian’s in the beginning, but now, will create “New” Norwegian Elkhound genetics so their children will have some. How fascinating is that right.

We have family after family stepping up who want to preserve that old base. The other side of it as well is that folks that want to enhance the genetic base of the Jamthund, the Swedish Elkhound are loving this whole process as well as they get to participate and build “New” Swedish Elkhound genetics again the exact same way. It works both ways, phenomenal acceptance for this.

I really want to showcase a specific male today, he is the one going to a family that has had our dogs for a very long time, they will now have three. Odi is a Full Blood Male from Revna and ARCO.

What is very cool about Odi is the Norwegian Elkhounds that Janine and Stefan and family have are closely related. Maya the first Elkhound she is a full sibling sister to Tekla, who is the Great Grandmother of Odi. Nova, the second Elkhound they have, she is a daughter of Karu and Tekla. The mother of Odi, Revna, is also a daughter of Karu. Of course Luna, mother of Revna is a daughter of Tekla. So the connections are profound for this family.

Now this weekend Michael will be placing Odi with them and over the next short while and on into the future we will showcase Odi so you can follow along the journey with them. Michael has started us off with an incredible video, he has been working with Odi in the Desna training . You can also follow Michael and Sarah at Golden Ring Elkhounds where they whelp and train the Full Blood Elkhounds.

See how amazing Odi looks, acts, behaves and it’s so easy to see how this amazing genetic powerhouse young rascal can rebuild our genetic base in both types. No longer are we on a sliding scale, losing genetics every day, now we can slow that, bring some back, increase our diversity and continue our healthy future with our dogs. It’s so awesome everyone is helping, participating and sharing in this exciting time frame.

Enjoy this video, Michael puts a ton of time training, hiking and filming, editing and more he is a master at this, and I Thank Him for it.
