I think Elkhounds in Canada live for the fall. They love the cool nights and scent of deer and moose as they move to their winter quarters. A young Viking sailor. Gus likes wading into water. It doesn't matter how cold the water gets Gus will get into it up to his chest.
Elkhounds are also good sled dogs .
They have great pulling strength and stamina as well as cold weather endurance. After a day of sledding Gus likes a good chew toy in front of the fire place . Elkhounds are very people oriented. They are excellent with children . Gus is very fond of his young master Curtis .
