The black is the smaller of the two Norwegian Elkhounds. Its bigger cousin is generally gray-coated.
Like its grey namesake, the black Norwegian Elkhound was bred to track moose – known as elks in Britain, which is how it got its English name. The courage and coolness needed to pursue these powerful animals continue to be sought after by breeders today.
