Although some people consider this the bible for Norwegian Elkhounds. I fount this book boring. Too much of this book is wasted on Breeder information and dog shows. I wanted a book more to explain how to take care of the PUPPY! and the DOG as it grew. Not for show.

Also book is lacking in that it NEEDS COLOR PICTURES. Book is very boring to look at... especially if the kids want to read it too and learn how to take care of the doggie.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must-have for Elkhound owners., March 11, 2007

I read several other books on the breed in an effort to understand my dog, but nothing came close to explaining to me her weird personality quirks and why she has them. Then I read THIS book and I swear the light was shining and the angels were singing. Nina Ross and Pat Craige Trotter, from whom I actually got my dog, explain the elkhound in clear, exact detail. No other book can explain this wonderful, ancient breed like this one does. Now that I can "speak" Elkhound, I couldn't imagine ever having another breed!
