Eric and Helen came to us to get a new puppy. They wanted a lifestyle pup that could work and hike with them and the family the outdoors. We shared our lineages and they had done the homework and knew we had the right dogs. A pup was selected from Luna and Pretty Boy Leif, two of our best and known for all having instinctive skill and handler focus. We hope you enjoy this video outlining the fun we had with Bjorn and the family when they came to visit.

We began training right away with Bjorn as they had hoped for the 16 week Desna training program with Bjorn. At the 12 week mark we had Eric and Helen come and hike, visit, work with Bjorn and the parent dogs, Leif and Luna. Norwegian Elkhounds make the best family dogs and these two are no exceptions. Little Aurora the sister to Bjorn was always along to enjoy the work and adventure.

At 12 weeks he was primarily with the mentor Norwegian Elkhounds, the specialist Uncle MANE and his legendary Grandmother Tekla. Two of the very elite Norwegian Elkhound hiking and training mentor dogs.

When 16 weeks arrived we had Eric and Helen come out accompanied by family, Sherrill and John and we enjoyed a wonderful day in the mountains where they could bond with their big fella Bjorn, watch him work, get to know his commands and signs and Wow, what a great time.

We look forward to always getting updates from them, Bjorn is a Rock Star and hikes every day with their family and is a cherished family member and companion. You can always contact us year round about a great pup at Kamia Kennels.
