KAMIA’S SILVER NOVA — MATERNAL DYNASTY: THE NORTH AMERICAN ELITE

Overview

Kamia’s Silver Nova is one of the most elite Norwegian Elkhound females in the world. Registered in the American Kennel Club (AKC), fully lineage‑verified, and raised by 25‑year AKC Norwegian Elkhound breeder of champions, Lillian Gamble, Silver Nova stands as a cornerstone of the Kamia Restoration Program. Her maternal dynasty is one of the strongest, most historically validated female lines in North America.

Silver Nova represents the pinnacle of North American Norwegian Elkhound breeding — a fusion of national winners, champion ancestry, and preservation‑grade structure.

Raised by a Master Breeder — Lillian Gamble

Silver Nova was raised by Lillian Gamble, a respected AKC Norwegian Elkhound breeder with over 25 years of experience producing champion Elkhounds. Her program is recognized globally for:

  • structural correctness,
  • temperament stability,
  • champion‑level architecture,
  • multi‑generation AKC excellence.

Lillian Gamble’s contribution of Silver Nova into the Kamia Restoration Program is a major endorsement of Kamia’s preservation work. Her involvement places Silver Nova among the most carefully raised and expertly developed females in the breed.

Elite AKC Registration & Verified Lineage

Silver Nova is:

  • AKC registered,
  • AKC lineage‑verified,
  • microchip‑verified,
  • documented through multi‑generation champion ancestry.

Her pedigree is not theoretical — it is fully documented through AKC records and champion‑level lineage.

Daughter of Armani — National Winner, 6th Highest Ranked Elkhound of All Time

Silver Nova’s sire is Armani, one of the most famous Norwegian Elkhounds in North American history.

Armani’s achievements include:

  • National Winner,
  • 6th Highest Ranked Norwegian Elkhound of All Time,
  • Gold Standard Elkhound male,
  • multi‑generation champion producer,
  • one of the most structurally correct males ever shown in North America.

Armani’s contribution to the breed is legendary, and Silver Nova is one of his most important daughters.

Champion Silver Princess — Maternal Strength

Silver Nova’s dam, Champion Silver Princess, is part of a long line of elite North American Norwegian Elkhounds. Her maternal line is known for:

  • champion structure,
  • correct proportions,
  • stable temperament,
  • multi‑generation AKC excellence.

This maternal foundation is one of the strongest in the AKC system.

The Silver Nova Maternal Dynasty

Silver Nova’s dynasty is defined by her exceptional daughters:

Silver Nessa

A direct continuation of the Armani × Silver Princess line, carrying forward the elite AKC structure and temperament of her mother.

Silver Moon

One of the most important females in the world, Silver Moon represents the fusion of:

  • Silver Nova’s elite AKC maternal line,
  • Karu’s Finnish‑registered, DNA‑verified Scandinavian working‑dog lineage,
  • Triple Champion Rittu’s Finnish hunting heritage.

Silver Moon is a preservation‑grade female whose lineage has never existed in North America before.

She carries:

  • the best of the Finnish Champion hunting lines,
  • the best of the North American AKC champion lines,
  • the best of the Scandinavian working‑dog ancestry,
  • the best of the Kamia Restoration Program.

This makes Silver Moon one of the most genetically valuable Norwegian Elkhound females in the world.

A Lineage Never Before Seen in North America

Silver Nova’s dynasty is the first time in North American history that:

  • AKC champion maternal lines,
  • Scandinavian working‑dog lines,
  • Finnish DNA‑verified hunting lines,
  • bonded‑import Scandinavian ancestry,
  • multi‑generation AKC champion structure,

have converged into a single maternal lineage.

This is a historic preservation achievement.

  • Lillian Gamble (AKC),
  • Pat Trotter (Vin‑Melca),
  • Scandinavian master breeders,
  • Finnish working‑dog breeders,
  • Norwegian and Swedish preservation breeders,

Kamia Kennels acknowledges and thanks these master breeders for contributing the absolute best of their programs to the preservation of the Norwegian Elkhound.
