Norwegian Elkhound
QUOTE(Wikipedia) The AKC breed name "Norwegian Elkhound" is a direct translation from its original Norwegian name "Norsk Elghund," meaning "Norwegian moose dog." I'm not quite sure this is what "direct translation" means. BTW, these dogs are awesome. I had one. |

Elg = moose. They hunt moose with these dogs in Norway.
Elk in English is a big deer-like animal that is not the same thing Norwegians think of when they say "Elg". A direct translation would be moosehound. |

My dictionary says that a moose is an elk. |
