Who we are

The NEANC charter was approved by the AKC in 1973. The membership of the NEANC is made up of people dedicated to the welfare and the betterment of the Norwegian Elkhound. Our members are located in the "Greater Bay Area" of Northern California.

Our dogs fulfill many roles for us. Some do Conformation showing, others compete in Performance dog sports such as Agility and Obedience. But All of them are members of our family and are well loved.
