What does "hestsko" mean?
In Norwegian:
hest = horse
sko = shoe
HESTSKO = HORSE SHOE

Hestsko Kennels is located in Old Ocean, Texas about an hour southwest of the Houston area. Owned and operated by Dot Wallace, Hestsko began approximately 31 years ago with the purchase of our first purebred puppy affectionately called "Poochie". Later Poochie became Champion Kapricorn's Silver Gunda, C.D. and produced our first homebred Champion Hestsko's Pistol Pete who was a multiple group placer. From there we bred and finished many of our dogs always owner handled. We are consistently producing winning show dogs and wonderful, loving companions. We strive to breed only the best of the best by carefully screening for hip dysplasia and other inherited disorders. Good temperament is always top priority - without it you do not have a good pet.


Elkhounds available to good homes


Please stay tuned as future litters are planned.
