My best dog!

[wvhunter129]

My best hunting partner was Lady. She was a Norwegian Elkhound and I loved to take her in the woods with me to squirrel hunt. This dog knew her business and also watched to see what I was doing. She was always with me, I miss her a lot.

If my wife were more like her I would probably be the luckiest man on the face of the earth...don't tell her I said that. ;D ;D

I have had several dogs, but Lady was my favorite. I used to do a lot of rabbit hunting and had several good beagles, but I never felt about a dog like I did Lady.

I have thought several times about getting another, but I just don't know if I could find another like her.

I know your pain all too well. They leave a spirit within us that never dies!

Thanks guys! You know there are a lot of people out there that think how I feel is just silly, but until they have a pet/hunting partner like that they haven't had anything.

Norwegian Elkhound? This is the breed related to my favorite breed the West Siberian Laika. I thought you may become interested to join LHANA (Laika Hunters Association of North America). We accept Laika and other northern hunting dog breed hunters, including the Norwegian Elkhound. Contact [e-mail] on this matter. You will find a wealth of information and a good company there.

Thanks for the information. I will send out an email.

I too know the feeling of that one SPECIAL dog, mine was a Walker Coonhound, had many other dogs but Ranger has that one special spot in my heart that no other will ever have. I have a choc lab now that is close but still Ranger is the one that I cherish the most.
