We have had Nora now for a couple years, she was raised in our home for about 6 mo. until we felt comfortable letting her outside by herself. She is pure breed Norwegian Elkhound. She is our sweet girl. I have had a few dogs in my life time but have to say she is my favorite. She is just has the sweetest personality, with the acception of course when she is busy cornering other animals in the yard as is standard to this breed. We have had to rescue her from a trap set by neighboring trappers, she nearly could have drowned, thank goodness we found her in time! Trappers are no longer allowed to set their traps in our river behind our home. She ended up having like 6 or 8 stitches from that! Sure gave us a good scare!
Nora is very well mannered, well trained, gentle and loving. We are just blessed to have her. She is like one of our kids. She does not have a mean spirit at all. She absolutely loves children and the UPS man cause he brings treats! She never leaves the yard and never chases vehicles. The only time she barks is when there is a creature in the yard that she can see or smell and is not familiar with. She loves to be indoors any chance she gets (she loves being spoiled) but these dogs are most happy outside when it is like 30-40 degrees. She is our sweet girl and we love her to pieces. Can't wait for her to have puppies, think she will be a very good mother and produce some real nice puppies.
