Ah, swedish elkhound. Really pretty dogs :-D Relitively rare outside of sweden. Very powerful. Bred for both hunting and sled-pulling. I don't know a ton about them, I guess, but if you like them maybe you'd be interested in the norwegian elkhound? It's similar but sooo much easier to find. I was considering getting one a while ago, but ended up with a mixed pup htat ended up being extremely fear aggressive...kinda wish I'd gone with the elkhound, lol. Great dogs, friendly, I'd say they're on the smaller side of "large". From what I remember reading your earlier post, you wanted a dog that loved you much more than strangers? I'm just taking a guess that these dogs are very much like other spitzs in the way that they're pack dogs and if you're the alpha, well, they'd just fit what you want pretty well. But they're still friendly to other people...I'm a little biased against the siberian huskys because one snapped at me once, it did NOT like other people in the slightest. I hated that dog...these dogs won't be as much like that. They're independent and dominant. Good dogs.
So I'd say they're actually probably a pretty good match for you. Definently something to consider.
