Norwegian Elkhound

Because they look kind of wolfish probably

>Barks
At a point in their breeding lineage they were required to have a bark that could be heard from a great distance, and were generally encouraged to bark a lot for you to locate them when out of sight and for watchdog purposes.
Its actually a very easy trait to train out of norwegian spitz-breeds.
>Dont like being seen [...]
This is a non problem, they are perfectly house trainable and will not be a bigger challenge than most other dogs in this regard.
>Isnt affectionate
Not true.
>Expensive
I dont know, depends on where you live I guess. They cost the same as other similar purebreds where I live.

They are good dogs that most likely share their lineage with the norwegian buhund which has been a family companion, herding dog, and watch dog in Norway since at least the viking age.

Are they that bad? When my spitz goes I was looking into another spitz breed that isn't a husky. I've given a little thought about a norwegian elkhound but I've only met one and it was a puppy.

I know tea cup dogs and Pomskys are often Elkhound puppies being labeled as adults. Maybe people fall for those scams and but a Pomsky that is really an Elkhound, or simply decide to get Elkhounds because they thought the puppy was cute.

That's an entlebucher. Also mine doesn't eat her own poop but she's mixed with a bit of husky. She does love cat poop though
