C.I.B., C.I.E. & C.I.B. – J „Freya“

Vanda Hupeliahon

The second Swedish Elkhound, but the very first female in our lives. She is the 41st Jamthund registered in the Czech Republic. She comes from eastern Finland, from Joensuu, specifically from the kennel Hupeliahon Kennel with a long history. From this kennel come many excellent males and females, both in hunting, exterior and health. Freya is a typical female of "Finnish type" od Swedish Elkhound. She is smaller in stature, light-boned, tenacious and agile. She has a kind, cheerful character and, as I like to say, the right "drive" for everything.

Like Tor, she adores people and their attention and gets along great with other dogs and pets. Freya blew us away with her hunting skills and only reinforced our confidence that the Swedish Elkhound is an excellent choice for hunting in the Czech Republic. She is reliable and tenacious in her work, and like Tor, she prefers wild boars, which she purposely seeks out, chases, stop and bark. She has proven her qualities on the exterior. She has been tested for HD A/A and ED 0/0.

Perhaps as early as 3 months old she showed interest in anything that ran, flew or moved in any way, and soon began to guard behind the fence anyway. She did very well in basic obedience training, socialization, and pretty much everything, she is very understanding and teachable. My first hunting experience with Freya was when she was a little over 5 months old, when we hunted a young fallow deer together individually. Freya's first independent work was on a driven hunting, about a month later, when she found a 70kg wild boar on her own, which she loudly led to the shooter. The shooter shot it and she continued to loudly set it up for 30 min before everything was successfully finished. I confess that to this day I still don't know if it was intentional, but she has managed to drive game in my direction several times while hunting. She demonstrated this even at the age of 1 and a half years with a 60 kg wild boar, which she led from a distance of 700 m to me at 3 steps.
