FIELD TESTING — THE ELITE WORKING FEMALES OF KAMIA

Kai & Letta · Vida & Vana · Tekla & Luna · Kalia · Tuva

Kamia Kennels – Field Notes Series

This Field Testing entry, filmed approximately four years ago, captures one of the most extraordinary groups of working female Norwegian Elkhounds ever assembled in a single outing. These females represent multiple maternal branches of the Kamia program — each elite in her own right, each carrying forward a different piece of the ancient Elkhound working mind.

The group includes:

• Kai and her daughter Letta
• Vida and her daughter Vana
• Tekla and her daughter Luna
• Kalia
• Tuva

This is not a staged demonstration. This is real terrain, real instinct, real lineage — and the footage shows why these females are among the best working Norwegian Elkhounds in the world.

THE BEHAVIOR — PERFECT OFF‑LEASH WORKING INSTINCT

Every female in this group demonstrates the full suite of instinctive behaviors that define the true Norwegian Elkhound:

• Correct range — never too far, never underfoot
• Natural return instinct — checking back without being called
• Handler awareness — adjusting movement based on your pace and direction
• Terrain reading — scanning, scenting, and navigating with confidence
• Group cohesion — independent minds working in harmony
• Calmness when stopped — staying near you, focused, balanced
• Forward drive when moving — ranging naturally but always connected

This is the behavior that cannot be trained — it must be inherited.

And in this group, it is inherited across multiple maternal lines, all functioning at the highest level.

THE MATERNAL DYNASTIES REPRESENTED

This outing is remarkable because it brings together several of the most important maternal branches in the Kamia program.

Kai & Letta — The Calm, Intelligent Range Line

Kai has always been one of the most balanced working females in the program. Her daughter Letta mirrors her perfectly:

• same calmness
• same range
• same environmental reading
• same handler connection

Letta is the living continuation of Kai’s working intelligence.

Vida & Vana — The Takoda × GAEDA Legacy

Vida is one of the most powerful maternal females ever produced at Kamia. Her daughter Vana carries the same:

• forward drive
• terrain confidence
• deep scenting ability
• calm, centered working mind

This is the same maternal branch that produced Vaeda and Nesse, the first Full Blood litter born in the USA.

Tekla & Luna — The Foundation of Multiple Modern Lines

Tekla is one of the most influential females in Kamia history. Her daughter Luna is:

• mother of Revna
• grandmother of Nyra
• mother of Riatta (featured in upcoming litter plans)

Luna’s presence on this outing shows the consistency of the Tekla line — steady, intelligent, deeply connected to the handler.

Kalia — The Quiet, Powerful Worker

Kalia has always been one of the most reliable off‑leash females in the program. Her:

• calmness
• range
• terrain reading
• handler focus

…are textbook examples of the working Elkhound mind.

Tuva — The Legendary Daughter of Kamp

Tuva is one of the most instinctive females ever produced at Kamia. Her:

• forward drive
• environmental awareness
• natural leadership

…are unmatched. She is a direct link to the Kamp line — the same maternal branch that produced Tekla, MANE, and Teeko.

THE GROUP — MULTIPLE MATERNAL LINES, ONE WORKING MIND

What makes this outing extraordinary is not just the individual quality of each female — it is the collective behavior:

• They range independently, but stay connected.
• They move as individuals, but function as a team.
• They follow your lead instantly when you move.
• They settle calmly around you when you stop.
• They maintain perfect off‑leash discipline without a single command.

This is the highest expression of the working Norwegian Elkhound — not obedience, but instinctive partnership.

And it is only possible because these females come from multiple generations of real working lineage, preserved intentionally and consistently.

WHY THIS GROUP IS WORLD‑CLASS

Very few breeders — anywhere in the world — can assemble a group of unrelated females who:

• all work off leash
• all read terrain correctly
• all stay connected to the handler
• all maintain perfect range
• all show calmness and confidence
• all demonstrate multi‑generation instinct

This is the result of:

• decades of selection
• real terrain testing
• maternal intelligence preserved
• Norrland and Norwegian working lines maintained
• no cosmetic breeding
• no show‑ring dilution

This is preservation in its purest form.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

This Field Testing entry stands as one of the clearest demonstrations of what the Kamia program produces:

• multiple maternal dynasties
• multiple generations
• multiple branches
• all functioning at elite level
• all off leash
• all in remote terrain
• all connected to the handler

These females are not just good — they are the best in the world as a group of working Norwegian Elkhounds.

This is the Kamia standard. This is the Kamia legacy. This is the Kamia Elkhound
