Northeast Illinois Norwegian Elkhound Assn photos (win photos & candids) from this past weekend are uploading now. They should be done by 8:30pm CT.

Please note every dog that took a win photo has a gallery, if they took more than one photo it will be in that one gallery to make it easier for everyone to find their photos.

Interlocking candids are going up at https://lyndabeam.zenfolio.com/f653397202

They should be done by 9am CT

They are separated by Dogs/Bitches/Veterans/Best of Breed, the shows are not separated. There are not a lot of class dogs, apologies for that, I was still setting up for the first dog, then sweeps photos and on the second show I missed the end of dogs and beginning of bi***es due to the "lost keys incident."

But there are 329 photos to peruse, enjoy!

Stewardess: “Very Pleasing”

1944: Manchester Terrier Ch. Canyon Crest’s Stewardess, out of Mr. and Mrs. William Bagshaw’s Canyon Crest Kennels—and owned by none other than the revered all-rounder William Kendrick, who was among the most knowledgeable terrier fanciers of his day. (Tauskey photo)

A breeder of the 1940s offered the following critique of Stewardess:
“These are what Manchester Terriers should look like today. This dog flows. The angulation is excellent. The top line is perfection. The tail set and carriage can't get any better with the slightly rounded croup. The 1st and 2nd thigh excellent. I have seen none better in today's time. Personally, I like the shorter crop on the terrier like depicted. They are terriers. They should be depicted and judged as so. I would only take a couple of points off for the planes of the head, that is it. Even at that, still very pleasing.”—from Sighthound Review
