Description of a Jamthund.

The Jämthund, also called the Swedish Elkhound, is a member of the Spitz dog breeds that are found in Northern Europe. Even though no credit can be given to the Swedes for the breeding of the race (the historically Norwegian province Jämtland has only been Swedish territory since 1645), the Jämthund is the National Dog of Sweden, the National Dog of the Swedish Marines, and the Swedish Air Force's official service canine. The Jämthund is described as having a wolf-like appearance.
