The Kamia Kennels Elkhound pups are mentally stable, easy to work with and a great pup for outdoor adventure early in life. This places the pup in situations near ticks. Checking your pup needs to be complete and thorough. Burrs need to be removed as well, checking the pup catches both for removal.
Here is a Rock Star pup Ootek, Jonathan has him out on the coast. A phenomenal big fella now. Here is the rascal when he was just young, check out how stable this pup is. This is the mental stability I speak of. You can check these pups with zero issues. Be sure if your in the tick regions to do this.

Big Thanks to Jonathan for the great home life the Elkhounds have!
