Cruz

By Amy Fernandez There are a lot of theories and methods out there purporting to “educate” members of our sport because that alarming learning gap spans the entire bandwidth from novice to judge.

Breed Priorities – Norwegian Elkhound

F BP Norwegian Elkhound

TheNorwegian Elkhound has been called the “Dog of the Vikings,” but has been around for thousands of years, well before the Vikings. Elkhounds were used in rural Norway as watch dogs, flock guardians, and for tracking large game, such as moose and bear. His AKC name is a mistranslation of “Norske Elghund.” “Elg” is “moose”, not “elk,” and hund is “dog.” He might have been named Norwegian Moose Dog.

Westminster And Crufts – The World’s Two Most Iconic Dog Shows

F Westminster and Crufts

Today, this may not be common knowledge, but dog shows actually predate the establishment of the first kennel clubs. History recognizes an 1859 Setter and Pointer show in Newcastle upon Tyne as the first ever dog show (its American coequal was the Illinois Show for Setters and Pointers in 1874), prior to which dog competitions of various sorts had been held in pubs and gentlemen’s clubs throughout Great Britain. It was conceded that to bring order out of the sudden and chaotic growth of competitive dog exhibitions, the establishment of kennel clubs as governing bodies was imperative.
