Hey, sorry to be a couple days behind with this; I l think your elkhound posts are great! What gives with the dog on a long lead? Is it something to do with that kind of hunting? Or can I feel somewhat mollified about my (grey) elkhound mix’s less than stellar recall? (He won’t bolt for really far like, say, a beagle, and even tends to keep me in view, but, despite endless practice, is often inclined to check out a more interesting thing than coming when called. Then again, he’s a little smaller and longer than most elkhounds, so perhaps mixed with something genuinely hound…)
I’m sorry I’m late on this.
Norwegian elkhounds can be worked on leashes, where they are called bandhund. This dog is doing a moose tracking test.
They also can be run loose (loshund), where they actually get to bay the moose. One of my earlier posts shows a gray elkhound doing this to a moose.
I grew up around this breed. They were my grandpa’s favorite hunting dogs.
