Hälleforshund

The Hällefors Elkhound is a medium-sized, rectangular Spitz with either a sickle or curly tail.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hällefors_Elkhound

(Google translate) The appearance and the emergence of the dogs that today are part of hällefors breed took place in parallel with the strong growth of the moose population that occurred during the 1930s in some areas of Värmland and Västmanland... Parts of the forest staff who were employed at Hellefors Bruks AB had, therefore, during the period 1935-1955 elk hunting as one of its main tasks during the autumn. A task usually performed as a one-man hunting with a capable löshund.
The need for good hunting dogs along with a rapidly growing moose population is the foundation on which hällefors dog's creation rests.

Kept as a hunting and tracking dog of elk, wild boar, bear and badgers, the breed is active and durable in the field. This breed is not recognized by the FCI.

 

 


  • Genetic Test Ratings for Specific Breeds
     
    greenpaw.png  Some, moderate or strong evidence from available research. The test may be meaningful or recommended for this breed.
    yellowpaw.png  Unknown, not evaluated, or no evidence for the use of this test in this breed.
    orangepaw.png  All current available evidence has been reviewed, but relevance is inconclusive, and/or the clinical form of the disease has never been seen in this breed.
    redpaw.png  All current evidence indicates that the test is not meaningful or recommended in this breed.
    Ratings for the tests available for ALL DOGS are similar to those for individual breeds, but reflect the general level of relevance across all dogs.

    Breed Relevance Rating : The HGTD database includes a simplified rating, indicating the level of available evidence supporting the use of a specific genetic test for each breed/type. The relevance rating is determined based on various evidence sources, including peer-reviewed research papers, recommendations from the original researchers/test developers, and input from additional experts including veterinary specialists and breed experts.

    It is important when considering the ratings to understand that this indicates how much we currently know or do not know about a specific test for a specific breed. This does not necessarily indicate how “good”, or “bad” a test is. It also does not indicate the wider clinical importance of the disease or condition.  Genetic tests should be used as tools within the Big Picture of health for any breed.
