elkhound

“I have two dogs of my own,” said Machamer, who owns a Norwegian elkhound and a Pomeranian.

In a competition that can include a Norwegian elkhound, Australian shepherd and Chinese shar-pei, the people come from all over the world, too.

The Royal Norwegian Airforce released footage of the 1-year-old dog, an elkhound called Raija, running out of the wreckage into the hands of rescuers.

The others were a Norwegian elkhound, a Pekingese, miniature poodle, boxer and Norwich terrier.

She’s so successful that many in the show world came to refer to Norwegian elkhounds as “Craigehounds” - her name before Trotter.
