    Shadow the Elkhound- per Loki's request

    Here's a couple of pictures of my boy...Shadow.  He's looking rather chunky in the head shot.

    Oh my, he's beautiful!  He looks a lot like Helga, one of the Elkhounds I grew up with.

    Oh I love that Elkhound face! Thanks so much for posting his picture. His smile reminds me of my parent's Elkhound Gypsy. When I get home I'll try to post some pictures of all my Elkhounds (just two of my own, but I've had 7 over my lifetime).
     
    And I don't think he looks chunky! That's just Elkhound fluff. [;)] He's a handsome boy.

    Here's a picture of Miss Gypsy. My parents got her my senior year of high school, so I got to help raise her. She's about to turn 9. You can't see it as much in this picture, because she's not smiling, but she looks a lot like Shadow.

    And just because I think it's a cute picture of Elkhounds, here's my two boys Loki and Odin with Gypsy and Loki's sister Roxy.

    Oh my gosh!  What a crew they are.   I don't know anyone that owns elkhounds.  Shadow is what I call the class clown.  He always does something silly to make us laugh.  Although he can look intimidating to someone who doesn't know him, as soon as a person spends some time with him  they end up falling in love with him because he's so funny.  Are yours like that?

    Yes, both of my boys are big goofballs. And they are such love dogs too. A lot of people are scared at first because they "look like wolves". But I always tell them the only reason they have to be careful is because they will be licked to death--or more than likely Loki will throw a toy at you as soon as you come in the house so you'll play with him. I've never met an Elkhound with a bad personality. They are all so great!

    I thought you would. [:D] I also posted a couple of pictures under the thread "pics of your old dogs". Elkhounds are just such great dogs!

    I also find he is very loving with smaller dogs.  My toy poodles have always tortured him ...biting on his ears tails and back legs, and he has never retaliated.  Here's some pictures I took of Shadow with my poos.
