I had an Elkhound. Somebody dumped her at the shelter when she was a puppy. Sweetest girl with a heart of gold. However, she was the laziest, lovable, unbothered pup I’ve ever had. She hated walks, if you threw the ball- she would walk to it and lay down. No interest in physical activity whatsoever. All she wanted was her belly rubbed and food. Same Bella, same. Miss that big cuddle bug. RIP Bellatrix 1998-2012
My collie is like that, but goes on two modes: one is lazy and just wants cuddles, hates walks. The other mode is constantly running around the dog park nonstop or walking in circles around us to guard us.
our elkie was a nutcase for belly rubs, he'd do this awkward smile with just his front teeth and if you stopped petting him, he'd roll around and basically turn himself inside out until you started again lol
I love this comment, I also call all my animals my kids, I have 4 sons who think it's hilarious and joke that they don't remember play fighting with them when they were younger. ❤😊
My cat Ruby has gotten used to the sounds as well. It’s made grooming her much easier. She used to fight like a demon when I put her in the tub. Now she just sits there. She gives me her resting demon face still. But she’s getting better.
I've bred elkhounds in Canada for 35 years(as well as judged them) and am now retired . I totally sympathize watching you bath the elkhound! Moose is a very nice quality elkhound with a gorgeous handsome head !
We had an Elkhound when I was little. She was the sweetest thing! Her name was Dusty. My parents never had another dog after she passed until my siblings and I were older and out of the house. I’m 45 now and after all these years, I still miss her.❤
Very nice looking Elkhound! So nice to see one showcased on this channel. I need the hat with netting for when I do blowouts on mine. 😂 ( I believe you judged at NEAM in 2019? My Elkhound Ozzie was your Best of Breed. 🙂 )
Moose is definitely adorable. Poor fluffy boy was a little bit scared but still conducted himself like a gentleman. I want to give him loads of cuddles.
As the owner of a Norwegian elkhound. The pancake is pretty normal, same is grabbing with their nails. A lot of them also hates water with a passion! And elkhounds shed about twice a year. 6 months at at time. And every single time you wonder where all the hair comes from, and how they still have any hair left.. 😅 And yes, we still use them for hunting. They're also the national dog of Norway! Watching this with my elkhund Luna sleeping on my lap 🥰
@@BlackieLadida hi, swede here. Do you herd with these in Norway? My mum’s cousin bred gråhund (as they usually are called here) and this is the first I have ever heard that they would be used for herding. Only know they are used for hunting. I think they get mixed upp with Västgötaspets, a herding and guarding dog from Sweden. Their furs are basically the same colours. The only obvious difference is hight and there the similarities stops. Right? That said, gråhunds puppies are the cutest!! I loved visiting mum’s cousine when she had litters, feisty little buggars and so gawd darn cute with their floppy ears and round bellies! Lovely dogs all together 🙌🏼🧡
being from North-norway, i grew up in a town with multiple of these goodbois and yes they are very much still used for hunting Moose, but also Grouse and you can hear the barking during hunting seasons. When theyre not hunting they are always running around and are such good fluffkids :D
Managing to subdue and domesticate the great Aeon of Destruction, The Ruin's Author, The Blemished One, The Supreme Executioner and Destroyer is a miraculous feat indeed. Moreover to trap THEM in a floofy doggo's body too! Truly terrifying is your might 😔
Poor Moose was so anxious in the beginning 😢 I really like how his breed looks. They're used for hunting and are quite common here in Finland. Super dense coat helps them handle the winter cold 😊
Hi, swede here. Have you ever heard that these would be used for herding and guarding as well? I think this breed has been mixed up with swedish Västgötaspets, they look the same besides the difference in hight. And usage. Or maybe mixed up with finnish lapphund or vallhund 🤔
It's been 8 years since my Norwegian Elkhound left for better hunting grounds. He was the bestest boy ever and I'll never stop missing him. This one is so like mine too. Not a fan of water, doesn't like the underside of his paws touched (I always thought it tickles), loves brushing and is otherwise as gentle as a dog can be. ❤
As a kid, I had a Norwegian Elkhound who got her yearly summer bath in an old washtub in the backyard. 35 years later, I'm washing dogs for a dog groomers and learn that Elkhounds (and all other dogs) should be washed more than once a year. 15 years after that I find your channel and enjoy watching you wash dogs. Watching you take care of Moose makes me feel like I've completed a cycle of some sort.
Same. We had a German shorthaired pointer, and she was bathed at MOST once a year, in the yard, with the hose. Any additional baths were generally the result of her being skunked.
Finally a Norwegian Elkhound!! My grandparents had these dogs for a very long time. The last one was a girl named Holli and she was the sweetest thing. She had to be put down a few years ago and I miss her very much. I’m hoping I can one later in my life, might name them after my grandma or grandpa ❤️
I had neighbors once that had an Elkhound and he refused to be in the house at night after the temps dropped below 50 degrees F until they got warmer in the spring/summer when A/C was cooler than outdoors. I would let my dogs out in the winter and a pile of snow next to its doghouse would slowly stand and shake, seeing that never got old!
What a handsome boy. The colour of his coat looks so much brighter after you finished grooming him. I loved it when he was in the shower, and he reaches out sideways with his paw to push you back - " get behind me human! ". You must be so exhausted at the end of your workday.
1:34 Funny thing about the name: There are no elks in Norway (or Scandinavia). Their original name is "Norsk elghund" (translation: Norwegian MOOSE-dog). They are used to hunt moose, even to this day.
@@katrinakollmann5265 No. European moose used to be called elk before the name was shanghaied for the species that currently use the name, they are not at all related though outside both being species of deer.
You answered the question forming in my: I thought the naming of moose and elk between Europe and the US/Canada is a bit confusing? (I’ve watched many wildlife shows since I was 5 and noticed the “elk” in say, Sweden, are what we refer to as “moose.”)
Another fun fact: Moose were the original Elks. Europeans called them elks, before the term was moved to second largest deer species as the common name because that is what colonists called wapitis(the native shawnee and cree language terms for them) when they saw them. So, technically, there are elks in norway, just depends on the language that you're using.
Poor boy, he was so scared at the start! The video reminded me of a Norwegian elkhound called Lady my aunt and uncle had back in the 80's/90's. Lady was a hunting dog and loved it... while also being the friendliest and cuddliest family pet imaginable. I miss that dog.
Im a dog groomer who owns a elkhound, she's perfect for everything. Mostly cause i started grooming her monthly starting at 12 weeks old. I never heard of elkhounds before I got her. They quickly became my absolute favorite breed. So loving to the family, very smart, a little stubborn, but also hilarious. Their fur is so thick and soft. Love them so much!
What a gorgeous boy. So well behaved despite being nervous. I really appreciate Vanessa giving information on the breeds she is working with, hopefully it helps inform people of breed characteristics when they are looking for a dog.
Such a beautiful Norwegian Elkhound! I was lucky enough to live with one for a few years when I was caretaker of a ranch. I don't think she was fed regularly prior to my arriving and gobbled food down in 2 seconds even after years of regular meals. Absolutely the sweetest dog, loved our daily fence walk to the creek and back and was never ever a bad dog. After 50 years I still remember her fondly. Not sure what the connection is, but I now have a Norwegian Forest Cat :)
I love that he noticed what you were doing when you copied his pancake move. It seemed like he was saying - you too?? What a sweetheart. Sooo well-behaved.
Laughing at the idea of an elghund not accepting treats. My neighbour's elghund once jumped on the counter and ate two dozen eggs in one minute. No eggs that Easter!
@@dovie2blue My dog (not an elkhound) found a stash of eight eggs laid by my neighbour's hens under the house. Two days of horrible sulphurous emissions. It nearly finished me.
What a really nice dog . For one so clearly unhappy about his circumstances he didn’t try to aggressively put a stop to things ,but accepted what he could not change .What a lovely chap and handsome too❤
It just melts my heart to see him give you the same look some of my dogs would give me when I had to bathe them: the plaintive sorrowful "why are you being so mean to me? I thought you were my friend!" and of course I had to give treats and cuddles to make up for it. Love your show and have learned a lot from watching.
I was expecting more of a furnado when you were blow drying Moose. Rocky, an Elkhound that my family and I were lucky enough to foster for a few years, grew hair faster than we could brush it out. He was even more nervous than Moose, especially around strangers, but when he was in his element (about 2 feet of snow) he was majestic.
@@nanyanghuayi The males look like female American Akitas but they behave very differently. They generally love everyone where Akitas are more of a one family dog. Akitas are beautiful, intense, and loyal. Elkhounds are beautiful, intense, and loyal to however has the food! Cheers, Chris
It was 2016, peak MCU period. We got a new kitten, and were considering naming him Loki. Until it was bedtime, and suddenly this little 4 lb kitten had the BIGGEST purr ever. He practically named himself: Thor Thunderpurr. You can still hear his purr across the room. He’s also a very bog boi.
Yes they are so lovely! Just hugs and kisses all around! The only time they do not appreciate attention is when they need a bath😂 They look miserable during it and only treats can win them over afterwards😅
Norwegian Elkhounds look very similar to Akitas. My dog also had an obsession with pancakes. So much so that I had to start saying it in a different language because she knew the word, spelling and acronyms. That obsessed!
Another great video Vanessa he didn't bark as much as some of his breed, and seemed to enjoy the drying especially under his chin. His owners obviously take great time and care with him. He looked amazing.🇬🇧🇬🇧🐶🐩🐕
It’s so helpful to wash and dry your dog at home, even once a month, to get them use to the process. It helps reduce stress and anxiety at the groomer. Humans love this as they are smell great too! ❤️ ❤❤❤
I worked for a lady in IL at her dog daycare and I swear this is the stubborn boy we had there!! Same name, size, age, all of it. so weird lol! I got him trough baths with freeze dried liver treats
What a sweet dog! He was a challenge to groom, but he NEVER showed aggression! I need to change my attitude about Spitz type dogs for the better thanks to him. You're right, he acted like a golden retriever! Next time pup leave the pancakes at home!
Our family had a Norwegian elkhound for a couple of years - unfortunately circumstances forced us to let another family adopt her. But while we had her she was such a sweetie and really energetic. OMG she would shed *in clumps and handfuls* every spring no matter how much I brushed her. She had that cute little head tilt like we saw Moose doing at the end of the video. I think their hearing might be extra- sensitive because we lived not far from a rail yard and the squealing of the train car brakes could sometimes be horrible torture for her (thus reluctantly finding a new place for her to live). Great dog, nice companion.
My dad had a Norwegian Elkhound and it was his favorite doggo ever. He was a ball of pure love but loved to escape and find friends all over the mountain range 😆
I am so glad you tell us the breed, where they're from, and the details. So many of them look like the German Shepherd. He's gorgeous and I love his curly tail. Pancakeing looks painful!
I have a Norwegian Elkhound who is also obsessed with food. He was a rescue so he's very skiddish like Moose in the video. It took a while for him to allow me to groom him but he's come such a long way. I don't think I ever won't have an Elkhound.
We had a brown Norwegian Elkhound at one time and he was a great dog. Super smart and very patient with a Yorkie puppy.He taught that puppy how to be a dog. It was good to see this breed again.
I had to laugh when you mentioned Moose ground his nails in the shower. I have hard floors and my cat slides her backend all the time. I can regularly hear her claws scraping on the floors. It files her hind claws down so I only have to trim her front paws.
Moose using his Paws and Legs is very Wolve like The Vikings did love their Wolves or was that the Germans or both Moose has a lovely temperament and a lovely Gray Coloured Coat very like the Norwegian Wolve I think 🐺
I adore the northern dog breeds but here in Central TX the almost constant heat would wilt them. Our best friends had to have their Afghan Hound shaved every summer due to the heat. Initially he was embarrassed about it, then realized how much more comfortable he was outside and embraced feeling cool.
Moose is a really nicely bred elkhound! have had elkhounds for 20 years. I have seen plenty of elkhounds act like moose 🫎 for bath time. My boy elkhound is happy to cooperate with bath and blow dry. My girl only tolerates the whole process but she is giddy and happy when she is all clean and done with the whole process. The Norwegian word for elkhound dog is “elghund”. “Elg” is moose in Norwegian.
My favourite pup in all the world was an elkhound and collie cross. She was the smartest most loyal dog . Unfortunately she had an infinitely for chickens and killed my aunts prized hen😂. Awe Cubby you were the best of the best. And bathing her was an extreme sport too but the zoomies after was worth it

you need a motorcycle table for dogs that you cant get or will not get on the table. It starts out low then you can get it to go up with a pedal.
When I saw the title of the video, I thought the dog liked to eat pancakes, not try to turn into one. LOL That was quite a furnado with the dryer!
@16:36 Moose's look of concern when Vanessa's demonstrating "the pancake" -
like he's sympathising with her! What a sweetie ❤
Same lol!
That's what I thought too 😅
same! And now i want pancakes!
🤣🤣🤣 Wait a brunch party for dogs, I'd watch that

@@mrscatlady912 - She was larger! She had a thyroid problem so she was always a little chonkey. She averaged 80lbs.
@@ferretyluv - love it! Bella was so unmotivated unless you had treats. She would gladly open the door for a stranger if they came with a treat.
That’s my granddog! Love you moose! What a beautiful job you did grooming him! Thank you 🥰
I love this comment, I also call all my animals my kids, I have 4 sons who think it's hilarious and joke that they don't remember play fighting with them when they were younger. ❤😊
Your granddog is absolutely stunning! Loved his black mask and ears. Such a sweet grandboi. 🥰
He’s a beautiful boy and so, so sweet even when he was scared ♥️
Ty! He is the sweetest boy ever 🥰
TY! He really is a sweet boy 🥰
These videos have unintentionally reduced my dog’s reaction to grooming noises. He just slept through this whole episode! Thanks ❤❤❤
thats so cool
That is both hilarious and very useful information for anyone with a nervous dog!
My cat Ruby has gotten used to the sounds as well. It’s made grooming her much easier. She used to fight like a demon when I put her in the tub. Now she just sits there. She gives me her resting demon face still. But she’s getting better.
I think it's the same with cats, my cats regardless of what they hear they just act normal 😂
There’s some evidence that showing cats and dogs videos of other cats and dogs doing tasks, they learn it better. So that would make sense!
I've bred elkhounds in Canada for 35 years(as well as judged them) and am now retired . I totally sympathize watching you bath the elkhound! Moose is a very nice quality elkhound with a gorgeous handsome head !

You are the only person I know who has a norwegian elkhound. Jalk, my moms, was a gem.
@herronsmith Well, I am a Norwegian living in Norway. And we hunt. They're also huge couch potatoes!
@@BlackieLadida I remember Jalk herding sheep and toddlers! A wonderful national breed! Thank you for sharing.

When theyre not hunting they are always running around and are such good fluffkids :D
Had an Elkhound named Ghost. She was so beautiful, and when the snow was falling, you never saw a happier doggo. Miss her ❤
Lol, I was watching this with the captions on, and it kept captioning [music] and [applause] when the doggo was singing the song of his people 😂😂😂
It always gives me a chuckle when those bits pop up in the captions.
OMG, yes! Thank you!! Reminding of my sweetie Norwegian Elkhound. Her name was Nanook, and her shedding was off the chain.
Sweet name 😍
Am I right in thinking that you are a The Lost Boys fan?. 😁
They seem an excellent Dog Breed This breed looks like the sort of dog to beware of yet Moose was a sweet heart ♥️
Managing to subdue and domesticate the great Aeon of Destruction, The Ruin's Author, The Blemished One, The Supreme Executioner and Destroyer is a miraculous feat indeed.
Moreover to trap THEM in a floofy doggo's body too! Truly terrifying is your might 😔
My mom used to joke that our Elkhound Tara only shed once a year . . . from January to December!
What a gorgeous dog. It’s clear that he didn’t enjoy the process but he wasn’t aggressive.
Poor Moose was so anxious in the beginning 😢
I really like how his breed looks. They're used for hunting and are quite common here in Finland. Super dense coat helps them handle the winter cold 😊

What a handsome boy. The colour of his coat looks so much brighter after you finished grooming him.
I loved it when he was in the shower, and he reaches out sideways with his paw to push you back - " get behind me human! ".

A cousin had an elk hound. Was expecting Moose to be more vocal.
Cousin tried to name him Thor but switched to Loki becease he was so mischievous.
It was 2016, peak MCU period. We got a new kitten, and were considering naming him Loki. Until it was bedtime, and suddenly this little 4 lb kitten had the BIGGEST purr ever. He practically named himself: Thor Thunderpurr.
You can still hear his purr across the room. He’s also a very bog boi.

Moose: "Life is short so... flapjack it! I say."😋
haha! words to live by!
Love the Nordic breeds. Elkhounds HATE water!
Yes they are so lovely! Just hugs and kisses all around! The only time they do not appreciate attention is when they need a bath😂 They look miserable during it and only treats can win them over afterwards😅
"Very, very friendly... but very, very nervous" 🙋♀️
You are so lovely with the dogs.
Your calm and patience along with your professionalism is a credit to your vocation. 🥰
She is lovely.
What a good dog!! He was so scared but he tried so hard to be good. Awe…. And he’s beautiful!!! ❤❤❤
Norwegian Elkhounds look very similar to Akitas. My dog also had an obsession with pancakes. So much so that I had to start saying it in a different language because she knew the word, spelling and acronyms. That obsessed!
Sounds like a typical CARB-ivore ....
What an expressive face! Love his ears🐾❤️
I thought the title mean he liked to eat pancakes 😂😅
So did I
lol - me too! 😄
I’m at the start of the video. Very interested to find out what else it could possibly mean!
Me too!!
That was my first thought as well. (But then I had a Norwegian Forrest Cat who liked pancakes. I referred to him as a CARB-ivore.)
i have not once in my life ever come across a dog that is nearly as stunning as this one
neither have i ever seen a dog that cat scratches people
this is my brothers dog! he grew up with my cat so that probably explains it lol
@@jaufea omg!!!!
your bro has such a cutie pie!!!
Another great video Vanessa he didn't bark as much as some of his breed, and seemed to enjoy the drying especially under his chin. His owners obviously take great time and care with him. He looked amazing.🇬🇧🇬🇧🐶🐩🐕
Most elkhounds are great story tellers
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get Moose on the table. 😅
Show more owner reaction too how good their dogs look. You always do a superb job!!! Above and beyond!!! Girl, you are just so gifted with your hands❤
It shows that Vanessa loves her job.
Aww bless his heart, he looks so sad & worried
It’s so helpful to wash and dry your dog at home, even once a month, to get them use to the process. It helps reduce stress and anxiety at the groomer. Humans love this as they are smell great too! ❤️ ❤❤❤
I worked for a lady in IL at her dog daycare and I swear this is the stubborn boy we had there!! Same name, size, age, all of it. so weird lol! I got him trough baths with freeze dried liver treats
he's very handsome.
What a sweet dog! He was a challenge to groom, but he NEVER showed aggression! I need to change my attitude about Spitz type dogs for the better thanks to him. You're right, he acted like a golden retriever! Next time pup leave the pancakes at home!
Our family had a Norwegian elkhound for a couple of years - unfortunately circumstances forced us to let another family adopt her. But while we had her she was such a sweetie and really energetic. OMG she would shed *in clumps and handfuls* every spring no matter how much I brushed her. She had that cute little head tilt like we saw Moose doing at the end of the video. I think their hearing might be extra- sensitive because we lived not far from a rail yard and the squealing of the train car brakes could sometimes be horrible torture for her (thus reluctantly finding a new place for her to live). Great dog, nice companion.
Moose is gorgeous! Thanks for all the great info & new terms! ❤
Awe! Moose is precious. He’s just so scared. And he’s beautiful.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Norwegian Elkhound before now. He's absolutely beautiful!
My grandparents had an Elkhound and she was so sweet and very protective over us when we stayed over.
My dad had a Norwegian Elkhound and it was his favorite doggo ever. He was a ball of pure love but loved to escape and find friends all over the mountain range 😆
I am so glad you tell us the breed, where they're from, and the details. So many of them look like the German Shepherd.
He's gorgeous and I love his curly tail. Pancakeing looks painful!
@3:05 I'm thinking Moose knows "shake" as a trick, and poor Vanessa asking him not to just made it worse 😉 😉
The elkhound I had as a young child is still my favorite dog ever. She was my constant companion and best friend exploring the woods behind our house.
I have a Norwegian Elkhound who is also obsessed with food. He was a rescue so he's very skiddish like Moose in the video. It took a while for him to allow me to groom him but he's come such a long way. I don't think I ever won't have an Elkhound.
We had a brown Norwegian Elkhound at one time and he was a great dog. Super smart and very patient with a Yorkie puppy.He taught that puppy how to be a dog. It was good to see this breed again.
We got to hear a couple of bars of the song of his people
I can't believe all the drama .... says Moose🐕🦺🤣 The lad is a very handsome pup! Take care Venessa✂and Camera Man🎥 have a very nice weekend🐕🦮🐩🐈🐈⬛✌🏻🍁
Maybe you should try the cat tube to tempt this dog on the table?😆
I had to laugh when you mentioned Moose ground his nails in the shower. I have hard floors and my cat slides her backend all the time. I can regularly hear her claws scraping on the floors. It files her hind claws down so I only have to trim her front paws.
Moose is such a handsome boy…stunning and he was so sweet ❤❤❤
His gorgeous colouring really shows when he’s outside
Moose using his Paws and Legs is very Wolve like The Vikings did love their Wolves or was that the Germans or both Moose has a lovely temperament and a lovely Gray Coloured Coat very like the Norwegian Wolve I think 🐺
Aww what a sweet little darlin! 🥹
I adore the northern dog breeds but here in Central TX the almost constant heat would wilt them. Our best friends had to have their Afghan Hound shaved every summer due to the heat. Initially he was embarrassed about it, then realized how much more comfortable he was outside and embraced feeling cool.
I used to own many Elkies over the years. All my puppies were put on the grooming table as pups. Starting them early is essential. Love your channel.
He is a beautiful dog, you done a great job! ❤
Maybe his paws were ticklish which is why he was fine with the claws but not the paws? He is a beautiful dog though and lovely temperament
You need a doggy cocktail bar 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 . He's a beauty. He did really well for a scared puppy. He kinda looks like Kuma.
At first I thought Moose was crouching down shaking & then I realized he was just drinking water.
“WHY ARE YOU SUBJECTING ME TO THIS AIR SNAKE, UNHAND ME … WAIT MAYBE I LIKE THIS, I AM CONFUSED.” 9:42
Moose is a really nicely bred elkhound!
have had elkhounds for 20 years. I have seen plenty of elkhounds act like moose 🫎 for bath time. My boy elkhound is happy to cooperate with bath and blow dry. My girl only tolerates the whole process but she is giddy and happy when she is all clean and done with the whole process.
The Norwegian word for elkhound dog is “elghund”. “Elg” is moose in Norwegian.
My favourite pup in all the world was an elkhound and collie cross. She was the smartest most loyal dog . Unfortunately she had an infinitely for chickens and killed my aunts prized hen😂. Awe Cubby you were the best of the best. And bathing her was an extreme sport too but the zoomies after was worth it
What a gorgeous, nervous boy! You were so patient & kind to him. Lovely outcome. ❤️
After watching a few of your videos, I gave my Boston terrier a bath in my kitchen sink, he is always ready & needs to do it again.
