We picked up our new little buddy today

[PardonTheWait]

It's been a couple of years since our last dog died (he was 19, in fairness), and we decided our family needed another little friend. I had to meet her before we could take her, everyone that lives in the house had to. Mum and Dad took her out twice this week already, today we took her home.

She's absolutely gorgeous and has an amazing temperament. Very loving and relaxed but still slightly bonkers on occasion, just right!

Meet Nika:

She's a Norwegian Elkhound, and seems quite happy:

Other peoples' dogs get their own thread, so does mine

She's lovely, like a big bear.

Cool dog bro.

 

[JRS]

Gorgeous!

 

[yermum]

She looks very happy - how big is she because it looks as though you'd know if she trod on your foot.

 

[Greenlizard0]

Nice!

 

[Morgoth]

That is one cool looking dog.

 

[Nix]

She looks lovely.

Last pic looks like a very smug dog

 

[PardonTheWait]

She's not actually very big at all! Not as big as a husky, nowhere near akita size. She's 18 months old so shouldn't really get much bigger if at all.

Pic of her with my mum:

That's one groovy looking dog, and not too big either (looks like a big dog, although small in size). The third pic you posted is a good one.

Your last dog lived to 19? That's ancient for a dog, surely?!

 

[Aedus]

What type is it? Looks kinda like a Malamute, but kinda not :/

EDIT: Oh, missed the text between your pictures, nevermind

Lovely Dude

Thought it was an Akita or Akita/Husky cross until you mentioned it.

my kids would love the dog, makes me think it might be time we got one

 

[logix42p]

Nice one man. Dogs hold a place close to my heart. Nothing is better than a nice natured hound, truly a friend for life. She looks awesome

 

[Haly]

Aww. Beautiful
