Do Norwegian Elkhounds shed?

Yes, Norwegian Elkhounds shed quite a bit. They have a double coat, which consists of a dense undercoat and a longer, coarser outer coat. This combination helps them withstand cold weather but also means they shed heavily, especially during seasonal changes. Norwegian Elkhounds will blow their coat twice a year, at which time you may notice an increase in shedding. Grooming a Norwegian Elkhound is pretty straightforward: regular brushing helps keep their coat healthy and smooth, while mitigating shedding.
