Zeke sits down with Michael Cathrea of Golden Ring Elk Hounds to discover this wonderful hunting breed.

Golden Ring Elkhounds, in partnership with Kamia Kennels, is North America’s leading preservation breeder of Old World Norwegian and Swedish Elkhounds (Jämthunds). Located in the remote terrain of Northern Alberta, we are dedicated to preserving the ancient, legendary lineages of these profound and versatile dogs. Rooted in the philosophy of the Master Breeders of Scandinavia, our breeding program prioritizes genetic diversity, instinctual traits, and impeccable health to ensure the longevity and richness of these breeds.

Our Elkhounds are raised in a natural environment, nourished on a purely raw diet, and mentored within the pack to develop their innate working and family companion abilities. Each dog in our program descends from champion bloodlines, offering families the opportunity to become part of this rich history and unique community.

Through our thoughtful planning and placement process, we connect families with the perfect pup while maintaining the highest standards of care and preservation. Whether you’re looking for an incredible offlead hiking companion or a loyal family dog, our mission is to help you join this timeless adventure with a truly exceptional Elkhound.
