The Norwegian Elkhound is a medium-sized dog breed that originated in Norway. These dogs weigh between 45-60 pounds and have a thick, grey coat that is weather- resistant to withstand the harsh Norwegian climate. The breed is known for its stamina, strength and hunting prowess with large game—including elk, of course! This strong prey drive can make the Elkhound an unideal match for households with small pets. These dogs are loyal and affectionate with their family members.

Many businesses in Maryland welcome four-legged guests, and there are dog-friendly activities scheduled year-round for the social, energetic doggy of this state. Hit up the beach with your furry family members at Down Park Dog Beach in Pasadena, Quiet Waters Park Dog Beach in Annapolis, or Dog Beach at Matapeake Park in Queen Anne’s County. Since dogs aren’t allowed generally in restaurants or bars in this state, it’s a good idea to stick to pet-friendly neighbourhoods while visiting or spending the day in town. In Baltimore, that includes Mt. Washington, Butcher’s Hill, Charles Village and Locust Point, where residents have access to large yards, dog parks, nature trails and even the odd pet-friendly bar or two.
In 1964 the Chesapeake Bay Retriever was declared the official dog of Maryland.
Most Maryland dog lovers prefer the state dog, as well as Labradors, German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers.
In Baltimore, the American Pit Bull Terrier is the favourite mixed breed!
