A Note On Fleas, Ticks and Worms~

Remember everyone it's that time of year for flea and tick infestations, please make sure to see your Veterinarian for flea and tick protection for your pets, we use Frontline- it's easy to apply and lasts for one month so you will need to treat for this once a month.

Also, especially important with the Elkhounds if they are outside dogs is to treat for worms. We have our dogs on Heartguard which prevents heartworm, hook and round worm. We also treat for tape worms with Safeguard Canine Dewormer. Your Veterinarian can best guide you in providing all the proper care and treatments so that your dog is a healthy dog.

We as Norwegian Elkhound owners always error on the side of caution. In fact, we are probably overly cautious- just because they are a huge part of our family. Elkhounds when outside get into everything, they love to hunt and/or corale other animals- this is just what they do. So again, be sure to get your dogs in for regular check-ups.

Owners of our previous litters may contact me any time with questions!

Norwegian Elkhound Puppies On The Way....

We, well Miss Nora is expecting puppies approximately July 24, 2010! We are so excited and can hardly wait. I will post updates as I have them and some new pictures of Miss Nora. Anyone wanting to get on a wait list please email mandm899@yahoo.com with your contact information. First come, first serve basis. We require a $100.00 non-refundable deposit to reserve a pup. These pups will be ready to go to their new owners approx. end of Aug to first week in Sept.

If we are going to get in any kind of vacation this summer, guess we better do it soon as it won't be long and we will have extra little babies to take care of :)

You can scroll down to see pictures of the previous litter. They brought nothing but pure joy into our lives- even if it was for just a short time until they went to their new owners.
