Bite Force

gentle bite of norwegian elkhound

The bite force of a Norwegian Elkhound is about 250 to 350 pounds per square inch (PSI). The force that a dog's jaw applies while biting is called bite force. Although the bite force of a Norwegian Elkhound is commendable when compared to other dog breeds, it is crucial to remember that bite force is not predictive of temperament or behaviour on its own.

How a dog interacts with other people is more influenced by factors like training, socialisation, and individual temperament. The key to a dog's safe and well-managed behaviour is responsible dog ownership and proper training.
