Because Elos were bred for behavioral attributes rather than physical traits, their appearance can vary from dog to dog. But in general, they are medium-sized with a slightly fox-like appearance.
Group: Asian and Oceanian
Lifespan: 13–16 yr
Height:
18–64 in
Weight: 49–77 lb
Because of their thick double coats and tendency to shed, Elos need weekly brushing to remove loose hair and keep their coats clean. They also require regular nail trims, ear cleanings, and a dental care routine that includes both at-home teeth brushing and professional dental cleanings.
As active dogs, Elos thrive when they get lots of daily exercise. And these playful pups enjoy plenty of activities—long walks, runs, and games of fetch are all fun for an Elo. This breed also excels at canine sports, such as field trials, tracking, agility, and obedience.
Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
