I got a new puppy 2 days ago.
She is a Swedish White Elkhound and I have given her the name Tikka.
I am looking forward to see how she will turn out in the woods

Hi Norwegianwoods,

have never seen a white moose dog. Is this a special specie ? Exciting to hear from her first season next year

Morten,

I think that the white moose dog is a white variant of the Swedish Jämthund and now an own breed.

Nwood, please correct me if I am wrong.

/ P-A

The web page does not say anything as far as I can se about teh origin of the white moose dog !

It says the first white dogs were born in the 1950s then it was no standard for nordic moosedogs so they are a branch of Gråhund, Jämthund and Norsk elghund.

Ok thanks !

Yes, the ancestor for the Swedish White Moose Dog is also the ancestor for many Swedish Jämthund.
In the 1950s, the "breeding program" for the White Moose Dog was started by Lars Jönsson and took a different way than the breeding of the Jämthund.

The question is - can a Swedish dog find a Norwegian moose ??
