The New Offical Mutts of the House thread

[lxskllr]

For others unfamiliar...

Although calm and affectionate with its family, the Swedish Elkhound can be dominant with other dogs and has a strong prey drive. A truly all-around canine, it can go from a hunting trip and back to the family hearth with great aplomb. It takes things in stride and does not get ruffled easily, making it a steady partner in the field or at home.

The Swedish Elkhound is a happy learner who loves to please its owner.

They traditionally use them to hunt bears, wolverine, wild boar and obviously large game.

Extremely courageous and will fight wolves, it won’t necessarily win, but won’t back down.

The neighbour looked in on her today as I was working. Sent me a couple of nice pictures.

I am never quick enough to get the quality shots.

 

[vharrison]

Oh my gosh, so cute!

She's a beauty, Rich.

 

[biggun]

Thanks, I think so but again, I might be a tad biased.

I will stop posting pictures of her (maybe) at some point.

Staring hard: looking for his little buddy to come out from Sister's house, searching for rabbit poop, & stuff.

Playing in the garden, egg boxes, nap time and a walk up the farm.
