Somerri Kennels has over 55 years of experience with Norwegian Elkhounds, 13 generations, which began with CH Bea's Lady Jade. [email protected]
The Somerri Kennels of the Hall/Lewis family has been dedicated to the Norwegian Elkhound for over 55 years in southern New Hampshire. All of our Elkhounds are descended from CH. Bea’s Lady Jade who was our first Norwegian Elkhound who was purchased and owned by Bea Hall who was the person responsible for introducing this family to this breed we cherish so much. Bea felt that this breed showed ded
ication to their owners and was a breed that was genetically and mentally sound which would make for a great family dog. Bea was right and we have enjoyed our dogs involving them in many activities with us as can be seen here. We continue to maintain the traits of this breed who originally were adapted centuries ago to help the Norwegian Vikings provide food on the table through the moose they were able to hunt. This function continues in Norway to this day only now to control the population of moose. Although we did not know that going to an AKC Fun Match mentioned in a New Hampshire newspaper in 1963 would bring us into the world of dog shows our Jade did so well that we quickly entered more events and it became a family activity. Since then we have produced over 75 champions that have been finished under the Somerri Kennels Prefix and these can be viewed on our website SomerriKennels.com. Many of these have also been in the top 10 Norwegian Elkhounds shown in the United States over the years. We continue to show our Norwegian Elkhounds and you can see many of their recent wins here as well as other activities we are involved in with them. This is truly a family hobby with 3 generations involved in making it happen. Hope you enjoy our Norwegian Elkhounds as much as we do!
