| Welcome to Elkhound Hill.... ...Where Elkhounds are loved and trained Elkhounds are our passion! Our dogs blend into our family as protectors and companions. After many years of owning hounds, Dwayne decided that he wanted a dog that would serve as a family pet and loyal outdoor companion. The versatility of the elkhound allows us to enjoy this breed 24/7 365 days a year! We have done a great deal of research and traveled many miles to find elkhounds that meet the breed standard while maintaining the inherent characteristics of this remarkable, ancient breed. Our facilities include a one acre wooded enclosure, providing sufficient exercise. This native wood lot abounds with squirrels and raccoons which entertains our dogs on a daily basis. Their scenting and hunting instincts remain sharp in this natural environment. Our dogs accompany us on frequent walks on our eleven acres as well as on hundreds of acres of family-owned farms. While predominantly household family pets, our elkhounds also absolutely love the outdoors. This beautiful hunting breed is not a vicious killer; however, they are quick to notify their owner of any approaching stranger. Elkounds are a wonderful addition to any family! We are located in south-central Pennsylvania and would love to show you the most beautiful elkhounds in the world. Please call Dwayne at 814-685-3731 or email dbnorthcraft@yahoo.com Enjoy!! Our Standards as Elkhound Breeders: We are dedicated to the well-being of our Elkhounds. Raising these wonderful dogs is not just our hobby but our passion. How We Got Started: (Our Story) My name is Dwayne Northcraft and I was first exposed to Elkhounds whenever I visited farms as an Ag teacher eleven years ago. About five years ago, I purchased my first Elkhound, Jobe, in West Virginia. He is an excellent dog. I then tracked down the source of the Elkhound that won the West Virginia State Hunt about four or five years ago. Later, I purchased two dogs from Dick Bartlett, a wonderful man, who has hunted these dogs for forty years. I have been crossing his stock with my male. The pups have been treeing game at around six months of age. I truly love these dogs and will own this bloodline forever. The one acre wooded training pen, that I own, is paradise for my Elkhounds. As you can see, they are wonderful dogs. I am producing the highest quality of hunting dogs that also meet the AKC standards. If you would like to see more pictures, please e-mail or call me.
