Within the Restoration Architecture framework, every structural decision is anchored to one principle: Restore the functional genotype and phenotype of the original northern working Elkhound. Not the show‑ring interpretation. Not the registry‑drifted version. Not the downsized, cosmetic, pet‑market derivative. The original dog.
