Our future Norwegian Elkhound outcross stud dog, Kano, is nursing on Silver Nova right now. She has him growing fat and fast!
She is a good mama, and proud of her boy! No doubt he is going to be famous, just like his world famous father Pretty Boy Leif and Beautiful mother, Silver Nova.
Outcross sires are incredibly important to preservation breeding as the ancient lineage genetics need outcross blood so as to keep all genetics diverse and clean. When selecting for outcross bloodlines to preserve a pure old world lineage as important as the Kamia Elkhounds care of the utmost is taken to select them. Pretty Boy Leif and Silver Nova were both selected from Master Breeders of quality and they were chosen as they were diverse genetics to both our ancient lineages, but of course to themselves.
The goal for the last decade or so with the outcross blood lines of Silver Nova and Leif was to eventually have them together to create the next generation of outcross. That way, no “New” outcross potentially would be required right away. The new stud Kano can perform outcross stud duties now for the next decade.
The phenomenal characteristics and traits of both Leif and Nova are infused into Kano, which if you study genetics and bloodlines of Norwegian Elkhounds you already know these are two of the very best in North America.
So the preservation of the Kamia ancient lineages is in good stead and Michael and Sarah have Kano growing fast, social skills building and he is going to be schooled by our mentor dogs, the likes of Huff, Revna, Vaeda, and of course Pretty Boy Leif himself. So he will be one of the best trained off leash dogs in the world. To see one of the stunning males from Silver Nova’s previous litters, as well as a son of the world famous Pretty Boy Leif, check out our brand new feature hiking site. Norwegian Elkhounds and Swedish Elkhounds off leash.
We are excited to watch him grow and develop up at Golden Ring Elkhounds our co-breeders.
Here is that rascal, Michael and Sarah have a great new video of him.
