Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Raydar is a 5-6 year old Norwegian Elkhound. You'll never find a nicer dog. He's good with all people, dogs and cats. And he loves kids. If the teenager and 3 year old at his foster home when aren't at home when he wakes up in the morning he goes from room to room looking for them, and sighs when he finds they aren't there.
He knows all his basic commands and usually walks well on a leash. He loves being loved and is just the greatest companion. He needs weekly combing because of his thick undercoat...but he loves the combing. Raydar is the perfect family dog.
