Their dense fur needs attention to avoid buildup of dirt and debris. Norwegian Elklhounds are active dogs who need regular exercise to stay healthy and happy, as well as mental stimulation so they don’t get bored. With proper care and attention, they are well-suited to active families who can meet their needs.
