Metsa

Metsa CD RE OA OAJ NAP NJP VNE...our first Elkhound.  Metsa is not a part of our breeding program, but she was our first Elkhound and is dearly loved.  She earned her CD at 17 months old, (two 3rd-places and one 1st-place in all-breed competition).  She was the #1 Novice Obedience Elkhound in 2001. She has her OA and OAJ agility titles and was the #1 Novice Agility Elkhound in 2004.    She earned her Rally Novice title at the 2006 NEAA Nationals, followed quickly by her Rally Advanced title in Oct 2006, and her Rally Excellent title at the 2008 Nationals with a 3rd place.   After officially retiring from agility, she entered Novice Preferred and finished both her NAP and NJP in three consecutive trials.  She is recognized by the Norwegian Elkhound Association of America as a Versatile Norwegian Elkhound (VNE).  The culmination of her show career was receiving the 2009 Susan D. Phillips Top Versatile Norwegian Elkhound  Award, presented at the 2010 Nationals in Midland, MI. Metsa is leader of the pack, and teacher to our own dogs.  She was our “learning” Elkhound and is a dearly loved member of our household. She is now retired from competition, enjoying life as a couch potato and boss of the pack.
