Norwegian Elkhound Associa on of American, Inc. January — February 2012
Two months and coun ng. I am ge ng excited. I am hav-
ing flashbacks to past Na onals and the people that
made them special. Can I get organized in me? Will I be
able to do everything that I want to do when I get there?
I don’t know! If you have not made reserva ons, do it
NOW! The reserva on desk may tell you that there is a
$75:00 pet fee and $15:00 a day parking fee. We do not
pay those fees. You will be charged directly for any room
damage, and you will have one free parking space for
each room. Parking is at a premium on Shelter Island be-
cause of Port Police, and Home Land Security re-
stric ons. Event parking is $15:00 a day and hourly park-
ing is more than that. People commu ng from San Diego
should plan for a thirty minute drive during rush hour.
We have exceeded the number of rooms that we had
blocked out. I have asked the hotel to hold ten more
rooms through the end of February. Mr. Harry Hawn will
be the Sweepstakes Judge, and Ms. Sky Masson will be
the Futurity Judge. We have 52 li ers entered for the
Futurity. Don’t miss it. This should be a show to remem-
ber. I hope to see you there.
See the ar cle in this newsle er on our 75th Anniversary
for NEAA. The show commi ee is pu ng together a
presenta on for the hospitality room. If you have infor-
ma on to contribute about NEAA history, contact Leslie
Trapnell or Margaret Williamson.
AKC has started charging for the performance sta s cs.
It took your board weeks to find out how to buy them. I
ques on how long we will be able to support the AKC
lifestyle. They might have to downsize like the rest of
the world.
Dr. Susan Goss has sent your board the new NEAA Ca-
nine Health commi ee recommenda ons to guide us
through the evalua on and tes ng of our elkhounds.
CHIC has also made grant recommenda ons for the Ca-
nine Health Fund. Both are under review by your board.
This commi ee is doing its job.
NEAA will be taking bids to go on a moose hunt in Swe-
den. Contact Ron Peters for details.
I am about to complete the maximum term as president
of NEAA. That is a good thing. I ask that you support the
new board in their efforts to unite the membership. This
was my main goal that I did not reach. NEAA has such
poten al. Rally around your next president and help
them to reach that poten al.
Best wishes; Ray Beathard

Here we are a er a glorious fall and unusually warm start to winter. The weather has finally brought us the severe
cold, blowing snow and slippery ice that we, in West Central Wisconsin have come to dread. The water freezes in
the rabbit pans and the dog buckets, and I have to bundle up and wear my “Yak-Traks” when I go outside. Let me
say those are a wonderful inven on. There are probably many brands, and no ma er which you buy, they are a
good investment to avoid falls on slippery snow or ice. Of course I had to take a small tumble on wet grass under
snow before I a ached them to my boots! No harm done, thankfully.
At the end of 2011, Betsy Brown had eye surgery and also fell again. She is facing the possible prospect of more
surgery. Last year she had quite a me of it, and I hope that her bad luck will soon end and she can return to a
healthier life.
I stopped the sta n drugs which have given me trouble with side effects for the past several years with muscle
pain and weakness. In addi on, my two minor surgeries went well, one to remove a large varicose vein and the
other a small skin lesion (believed to be benign but awai ng the report). Obviously there hasn’t been much
sunshine news in that I have to put myself into the report!
Star ng off the new year. We find Betsy Brown having physical therapy . Jerrie Schweizer had good news in her 3
month check up and is in remission. We sure enjoy hearing that. Please keep Diane Coleman in your thoughts as
she recovers from surgery. We wish also healing thoughts to Leanne Sines who was hospitalized in early January.
Please do let me know if you are ill or hospitalized. [email protected] is the email to use to contact me.
Stay well and stay ver cal. If you live in an area of snow and ice, use some sort of cleats on your boots. Its sort of a
nuisance but well worth it to avoid a fall.

2011 VERSATILITY REPORT By Kari Olson
It was a produc ve year for many of our members who are really enjoying a variety of ac vi es with their dogs Earning Versa le Norwegian Elkhound tles, with AKC tles in two venues, we had a total of fourteen teams of dogs and han-dlers! The advent of the new class last year , “Beginner Novice “, has proven to be a boon for young dogs, old dogs or people just breaking into obedience. I really like this class. It is not as stressful for handler or dog as the regular Novice class. The other tle added by AKC that was new this year, was the Therapy Dog Title or THD. It was about me that these valuable and hard working Therapy dogs got credit for their work. Five teams of dogs and handlers went beyond that, to earn a Versa le Norwegian Elkhound Excellent tle. This means they earned AKC tles in three areas of performance.. For the first me since 2002 we have an Outstanding Versa le Norwegian Elkhound Excellent. I was very excited to hear that. What a testament to versa lity. This dog and handler team earned AKC tles in FOUR different areas. The AKC keeps coming up with new tles and I have to keep changing the Versa lity Rules. Might I say that if a dog tles in one of these new classes and it is not yet in the Working Rules, I am s ll giving them credit. Several of them , Therapy Dog and Lure Coursing Titles are not earned through compe on, rather by comple ng a set number of requirements. I will be upda ng the rules this year to condense some of the redundant descrip ons, and , to make a clause for credit for new AKC Titling venues. This in its first year of awards, the Therapy Dog program at AKC, requiring 50 visits at a nursing home or other se ng, awarded the THD to five Norwegian Elkhounds. I have listed them below, following the Versa lity list. 2011VERSATILITYVNE (14) Ancient Ridge Magic Arrow CD RE THD Marilyn Slaton Ch Apple N ThomThom Isabelle BN Chris ne Olson/Gayle Thomas CH Arc cRidge's Worf CD Roberta/Richard Oxley Ch Janor’s Guilty as Charged CD RE Dennis Bell Peer Gynt’s Could It Bee Majic BN RN THD Marilyn Slaton CH Rai-Mai's Cocoa Cabana Banana NAJ Ron / Sandra Peters Ch Rai-Mai’s Mudpie Mojo NA NAJ Ronald/ Sandra Peters CH Ridgerunner's Arc c Nite Stargate CD Roberta/ Richard Oxley Ch Royal Crown’s A C Delco RN Mike Ellison Ch Snojager Midsummer Fireworks BN Dominique Mercurio Ch Strom Dancing With The Stars CD Karen Freudendorf Ch ThomThom N Apple Independence BN Cecelia Cathey Ch Vikrest Silver Streak CD Leslie Forrest/Pat Viken Ch Vindarne’s Earth Wind and Fire NAJ Tracy L Smith VNEX (5) Ch Charilor Klassic Nordic Idun RN MX MXJ Edith Finsaadal / Lori Machacek/ Margaret M Kabala/ Eric Lanzl Ch Kamgaard Kaballero CD NA Mallory Golladay Ch Kamgaard Katch The Buzz RE OA OAJ OF Antoine e Sibrel Ch Peer Gynt’s Remarkable Deed CD THD Mallory Golladay Ch Snojager Midsummer Fireworks BN NA NAJ Dominique Mercurio Windy Cove A Wild Rose Grows VCD1 RA TDX NAP Sue Ellen Green OVNEX (1) Ch Hestsko’s American Patriot RN TD THD Angie/Bre Morgan ********************************************************************************************************** 2011THERAPYDOGTITLESTHD (5) Ancient Ridge Magic Arrow CD RE THD Marilyn Slaton Ch Hestsko’s American Patriot RN TD THD Angie/Bre Morgan Peer Gynt’s Could It Bee Majic BN RN THD Marilyn Slaton Ch Peer Gynt’s Remarkable Deed CD THD Mallory Golladay Tungsten’s Go a Get A Gund THD Patricia Broyles

Report from your AKC Delegate, Margaret K. Mott
From the AKC Chairman, Ron Menaker comes the following message: “This month, we're pleased to launch a new event that will take place at select dog shows around the country - the AKC Owner-Handler Series. Owner-handlers are the core of the conformation dog sport, making up the majority of show entries. We're pleased to put the spotlight on all of our owner-handlers and acknowledge the time and dedication they put into their dogs. The AKC Owner-Handler Series will take place after Best of Breed judging in each breed ring. This competition will be open to all non-professional owner-handlers, whether experienced or novice. All dogs' eligibility must be indicated by checking the Owner-Handler box on the entry form at the time of entry and will be marked as Owner-Handler eligible with an asterisk (*) in the steward's book and catalog. Owner-Handler Best of Breed will be selected from the dogs that are eligible to compete in the Best of Breed competi-tion including Winners Dog and Winners Bitch. If the Best of Breed/Variety winner is Owner-Handler eligible, it will automatically be Owner-Handler Best of Breed/Variety. If BOB is ineligible and Best of Opposite Sex is eligible, BOS will compete against the eligible Best of Breed dogs of the other sex. If the BOB and BOS winners are both ineligible, the judge will choose Owner-Handler Best of Breed from the eligible Selects and eligible WD or WB. If one of the Se-lects is eligible, the judge will excuse dogs of the same sex as the Select and judge the remaining dogs of the oppo-site sex including the eligible WD or WB. If the BOB, BOS and Selects are not eligible, the judge may choose any eligible dog remaining in the ring. Based on points from Breed, Group and Best in Show wins accrued throughout the year, we'll rank the dogs and in-vite our top owner-handled exhibits to a special year-end event to compete for a Best Owner-Handler Award. AKC Owner-Handler Series Point Scale: (Note: Owner-Handler Series points do not contribute to championship points) Best in Show 100 Group 1 30 Group 2 20 Group 3 15 Group 4 10 Best of Breed 5 I hope that many of you will take part and we look forward to your feedback about the new Series. We plan to add shows featuring this new event throughout the year, so stay tuned for updates on www.akc.org. The first events in the AKC Owner-Handler Series will take place at:
Dog Fanciers Association of Oregon - January 21st Oakland County Kennel Club - January 21st Sahuaro State Kennel Club - February 4th
Colorado Kennel Club - February 19th International Kennel Club of Chicago - February 26th
Ft. Worth Kennel Club - March 24th Atlanta Kennel Club - April 14th

The AKC Outstanding Sportsmanship Award
In the American Kennel Club’s ongoing efforts to recog-nize and celebrate its volunteer club members, The AKC Outstanding Sportsmanship Award program was estab-lished in 2006 to provide each member club with an AKC Medallion to award to one of its own on a yearly basis.
This award honors those individuals who deserve special recognition that have made a difference in the sport of purebred dogs, embodied the AKC Code of Sportsman-ship, and have been an active and valued member of an AKC member club. Medallions are awarded solely at the club’s discretion.
The NEAA is once again soliciting nominations for the AKC Sportsmanship Award. Please send your nomina-tion to NEAA Corresponding Secretary Margaret William-son before the deadline of April 1, 2012. The medallion will be presented at the banquet at the National Specialty.
As always, I‘m here to help you with any AKC questions, problems or concerns which you might have.

We have a morning walk scheduled, a beach bonfire with s’mores, and a historical showcase of West Coast Kennels of the past. There will be lots to do at the show itself but if you find time, there are many attractions to venture off to....Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Coronado Island, La Jolla, the USS Midway museum and many more. Come see old friends, make new ones and give appreciation to our Great Grey Dogs. Leslie Trapnell NEAA 2012 Show Chairperson

Legislative Corner – Amy Peterson Limit Laws A month into the new year, many state and local legislatures have already had anti-breeding bills introduced into their sessions. Under New Jersey’s proposed A736, anyone selling or offering to sell more than five dogs per year (that’s les than a normal litter!) would be considered a breeder, subject to all the law’s conditions. Any building or other structure, or area whether indoor or outdoor, where more than two dogs are housed for the purpose of selling their puppies for any purpose would be a breeding facility. As of this writing, New Hampshire and Hawaii also have also introduced new anti-breeding bills into their sessions. According to the AKC*, when animal control concerns arise, legislators often look to limit laws as a quick fix. In reality, limit laws cause more problems than they solve. Here is why:
• Limit laws do not address the heart of the problem, which is irresponsible dog ownership. • There is no link between a specific number of dogs and nuisance problems. One dog that barks or runs loose
will cause trouble, while several dogs that are quiet and stay home will not. • Limit laws are extremely difficult to enforce and can be evaded by irresponsible animal owners. • Limit laws may result in a decrease in the number of dogs licensed, since individuals may choose not to license
their pets as a way to avoid giving up a beloved pet. Animal control officers therefore have no way of knowing how many pets an owner has unless they make regular door-to-door inspections, an expensive and time-consuming process that in many cases would require a search warrant. A drop in licensing would also se-verely impact a community’s animal control budget.
• Hoping to evade limit laws, pet owners may try to hide the number of dogs they own. To do so, owners avoid taking their animal to veterinarians and getting needed vaccinations. This not only jeopardizes public health, but also affects rabies prevention and threatens public safety.
• People who are forced to give up their dogs due to limit laws usually relinquish them to local shelters, creating additional financial and emotional burdens for animal control and shelter officials.
• Limit laws would impact those who rescue unwanted animals and either adopt them or find them permanent homes.
• Limit laws target all owners, regardless of their actions or the behavior of their animals. Responsible owners should be allowed to use their own discretion in determining the number of dogs they can keep on their own property.
Also according to the AKC, better alternatives include:*
• Vigorous enforcement of animal control and nuisance regulations, that often already exist, designed to keep communities safe and enjoyable for everyone.
• Effective leash and clean up laws prevent irresponsible owners from letting their pets run loose, possibly endan-gering the public and other animals.
• Public education campaigns to teach residents about responsible dog ownership, such as how to properly care for and interact with pets.
• Use of an arbitrator to mediate neighborhood animal disputes would help settle personal arguments that are not indicative of an animal control problem.
• Alternative sentencing for nuisance law violators, including participation in obedience training classes or com-munity service at an animal shelter.
The AKC advocates responsible breeding practices. Dog owners and breeders bear a special responsibility to their canine companions to provide proper care and humane. treatment at all times. The American Kennel Club (AKC) and its member clubs understand the challenges in. creating effective animal control ordinances for a community. That is why it supports laws that target irresponsible dog owners and substandard animal care. These are the issues that need to be addressed in any law seeking to regulate substandard kennels. Regulations such as limit laws and strin-gent engineering requirements, however, are ineffective, difficult to enforce, and unfair to responsible dog owners. Government officials should instead focus on reasonable, enforceable legislation to crack down on irresponsible own-ers without punishing responsible breeders.

POINTS TO CONSIDER:
• AKC SUPPORTS ANIMAL CRUELTY LAWS AND STANDARDS OF CARE. The heartbreaking stories and pic-tures of mistreated dogs are not the result of an individual owning too many dogs. They are the result of irre-sponsible owners who are unable and/or unwilling to properly care for their animals. The AKC strongly oppos-es the breeding of dogs by those who do so without regard for the dogs’ welfare. It supports scrupulous en-forcement of the federal Animal Welfare Act and state and local regulations governing the humane care of animals.
• LIMITING DOG OWNERSHIP WILL NOT PROTECT DOGS. Irresponsible owners exist regardless of how many
dogs they own. There are responsible owners of many dogs and irresponsible owners of one dog. Selecting an arbitrary limit will not prevent these people from being bad owners. A limit on the number of dogs an indi-vidual can own would restrict the many responsible breeders who raise and breed purebred dogs. These breeders make a serious commitment to their animals and to ensuring the future health, welfare and breed type of their individual breeds. They work to carefully screen potential owners to make sure the dogs will be placed in a safe, caring environment. In addition, many proposed laws that target “puppy mills” impact the many responsible fanciers and dog owners who also rescue unwanted animals and either personally adopt them as pets or find them permanent homes.
• LAWS SHOULD IMPLEMENT REASONABLE, ENFORCEABLE STANDARDS. Any bill that seeks to improve
the quality of life and care of dogs must focus on responsible ownership and strict enforcement of neglect and cruelty laws. Laws should be passed and enforced that establish reasonable standards of care. These laws should not, however, impose rigorous engineering and other requirements on breeders that are difficult to follow and enforce.
• LAWS SHOULD NOT CREATE MORE BURDENS ON A COMMUNITY. Limit laws are very costly and burden-
some to enforce. If someone owns more than their allotted number of dogs, they will then be required to dis-pose of those over the limit. These dogs will end up housed in shelters and/or euthanized at the community/taxpayer’s expense. In addition, implementing a bill with stringent engineering and other standards is difficult to enforce and results in an enormous strain on animal control officials.

AKC Meet the Breeds ‐ Orlando Florida –December 17 & 18, 2011
The AKC Meet The Breeds 2011 was held this year during the Eukanuba Invita onal at the Orange County
Conven on Center in Orlando Florida. Highligh ng responsible dog ownership this event gave visitors the
chance to get up close and personal with over 160 breeds.
Members of the Cherokee Foothills Norwegian Elkhound Club offered to par cipate represen ng the Nor-
wegian Elkhound at this event. With the help of some of our NEAA members who were exhibi ng at Eu-
kanuba, the Elkhound breed was well represented. Manning the booth were club members Ken and Debbie
Walker, Brooke Hildago, Doris Ingles, Joanna Ingles and Donna Weeks. Stealing the show were canine am-
bassadors Cederbends Playing with Fire, CH DInors Indian Love Call, CH Dinors I Got My Game On, Elgwoods
Ice Diamond, CH Quiquen Quartz, and Norelka Aspens Polar Express, and UAGI Kuma Bear. The elkie ages
ranged from puppy to veteran.
The Breed booths were set up in the West Concourse of The Orange County Conven on center main en-
trance lobby area. This was located between the Conforma on hall and Agility hall as well as in the adjacent
ballrooms. Our booth was located in a ballroom. An official Show Guide was given to each person who en-
tered the venue with detailed maps of booth loca ons as well as demonstra ons and compe ons being
held.
Decorated with a moose-forest backdrop, the booth included a 3 panel photo display board with pictures of
Elkhounds as conforma on dogs, agility –obedience dogs and companions. A digital frame provided a slide
show of elkhounds at play and at work. Handouts with informa on on the breed were available to all who
visited our booth. Ken Walker donned his Viking costume and along with a Cast Iron cook pot used by hunt-
ers to cook their game, with logs and ba ery powered flames added a note of authen city to the booth. The
dogs were by far the most popular part of our booth. In typical Elkhound style the pups were more than will-
ing to be loved on. We had quite a few visitors who stopped with stories of an Elkhound that once was a
part of their life. Our ambassadors tried their hardest to
convince these folks that one needed to be a part of their
lives again!
This event is well organized and offers parent clubs an ex-
cellent venue for one on one contact with poten al own-
ers. This is a great educa onal ac vity and should be giv-
en support by parent and local clubs alike. If you have a
chance to a end this event, do so. Be er yet volunteer to
be a part of it!
To all who par cipated on behalf of our beloved Elk-
hounds, THANK YOU !!!

Guests: Leslie Forrest, Susan Goss, Kari Olsen, Marlene Schlich g, Leslie Trapnell, and Jan Wood.
President: Ray Beathard reminded everyone that it is now 3 months before the 2012 NEAA Na onal Specialty and there is a lot of ground to cover during this mee ng. The Board Members agreed that guests should be allowed to report on their commi ees to allow them to leave the teleconference in a mely manner.
COMMITTEES
2012 Yearbook: Leslie Forrest reported that she has received 17 Yearbook ads to date. The deadline is February 1, 2012 and she is concerned that there may not be enough ads to cover the costs of prin ng the book this year. The commi ee will determine if there are enough ads to cover the costs once the total ads are received.
7:17 pm CST Leslie Forrest le the teleconference.
NEAA Canine Health and Research: Susan Goss e-mailed to each board member a list of the commi ee’s recommended grants for funding through the Donor Advised Fund of the Canine Health Founda on (CHF).
01708-A: Valida on of a general method for enrichment of canine cancer stem cells. University of Minnesota, Timothy O’Brien, Oncology.
01670-A: Pinpoin ng the casual muta on(s) underlying a genome-wide associa on signal for hereditary cataract in Northern breeds. Animal Health Trust, Sally Ricke s, Ophthalmology.
1658 : Urinary protein and gene expression characteriza on and comparison with renal biopsy findings and clinical data in dogs with Proteinuric Renal Disease. Texas A&M University, Mary Nabity, Renal and Urological Disorders.

In addi on, the commi ee proposed changes to the CHIC requirements as well as the Selec on of Breeding Stock for Norwegian Elkhounds. The proposed changes will be printed in the NE News.
7:27 Sharin Graves joined the teleconference.
The Board also received a le er from the Norwegian Elkhound Associa on of Minnesota, Inc. reques ng that the NEAA Board donate funds from the Miriam Phillips Trust Fund to the Modiano Lab for Cancer Research at the University Of Minnesota College Of Veterinary Medicine. Susan Goss knew of Dr. Modiano and praised his work; however, his research is already fully funded and therefore was not included on the list of grants recommended. Susan asked that the board study the list and make a final decision on which to fund in the next few weeks.
7:37 pm CST Susan Goss le the teleconference.
AKC Performance Sta s cs: Ray Beathard announced that Ron Peters had received a receipt from AKC for the payment of $280 for the 2012 quarterly performance reports for our breed. It was not clear if the receipt was for only one quarterly report or for the en re year. The board had agreed to pay AKC $280 for the reports for the total year, so if it only covered a quarter, the expense was considered too great for NEAA to par cipate. Kari Olsen explained the problems the sta s cians would have if they received no performance reports. Margaret Williamson will contact Rob Garre , AKC Electronic Repor ng Group for a clear explana on of the fee schedule for the reports. Margaret will e-mail the board and Kari with the results.
7:49 pm CST. Kari Olsen le the teleconference.

Swedish moose hunt to be auctioned off!
Available at the NEAA Auction on Friday evening, May 11, 2012, will be four (4) Moose
Hunt Excursion Gift Certificates offered by Arvid Göransson of southern Jämtland in Sweden.
Each certificate entitles one individual to a seven-day (7) moose hunting excursion during September 10th – 24th, 2012 or during September 09th – 23rd, 2013 in North Swe-den with Arvid Göransson acting as host. Meals (hunter’s fare) and lodging will be inclusive with wilder-ness bath and/or shower and toilet. Individual travel expenses and/or airfare are not in-cluded. Recommended air travel from the United States would be into Stockholm-
Arlanda International Airport (IATA: ARN) and then by regional service, such as Scandinavian Airlines, to Åre Östersund International Airport (IATA: OSD) in North Sweden.
Each moose hunt will last on average 3 to 4 hours, trailing a Norwegian Elkhound in arduous terrain of rolling hills, forested mountains, and river valleys. If you’re not up to the demanding hike, you can go with a sniper and sit in a special forest location.
For comfort wear practical clothes in layers with a sweat-er and/or windbreaker as well as rugged walking shoes. September in Sweden is normally mild with occasional
rain and average daily temperatures around 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit. In the northern re-gions of Sweden the average daily temperature is around 52 degrees Fahrenheit.
For additional information, contact Ron Peters at [email protected] or (828) 625-8820.

Obedience‐ Margaret Williamson reported that all the obedience and rally equipment is being loaned to us free but we will need to move it from storage to the show grounds, put it up, take it down and return it to storage.

Premium List‐ The premium list will be printed by the Superintendent with all informa on to be checked by Leslie Trapnell before prin ng.

In this, our seventy-fifth year, it behooves us to look back over time and review some of the greatness that
brought us to where we are today. The Norwegian Elkhound Association of America was Licensed as a Parent Club by the American Kennel Club in Decem-ber, 1936. What follows are excerpts of events reprinted from the book, The New Complete Norwegian Elkhound, written by Olav Wallo with the assistance of Karen Elvin (Sangrud Kennels) as well as comments taken from the Fourth National Specialty catalog, compiled by Susan D. Phillips. “Just when the Elkhound first came to America is not definitely known, but the earliest record of the breed in this country apparently is the registration of three Elkhounds in the 1913 American Kennel Club Stud Book…These three imports were owned by Gottlieb Lechner, Weiser Idaho. The offspring of these dogs were widely distributed …. Registrations were few in the early years – only 22 Norwegian Elkhounds were registered by the AKC in the first ten years…It was not until 1924 that the American public got its first real impression of the breed when the imported CH. Grimm of Lifjell was placed fourth in the Miscellaneous Class at Westminster. Over the years, Elkhound imports grew in number as dogs arrived here from Norway, England, Scotland and Canada. Ronnie av Glitre was a famous Elkhound, having been owned by President Herbert Hoover and wife. Ronnie (also known as Weijee) was reportedly a gift from the people of Norway as a token of their appreciation to the President for what he did for the country of Norway in their hour of need after World War I. Time magazine featured an article during that period that stated in part, “A small, saucy two-month-old dog with large brown eyes and tail curled up behind arrived in Manhattan last week on the steamer Stavangerfjord. It was one of Nor-way's best elkhounds, on its way to Washington to be First Puppy of the Land. The Norwegian Elkhound Association of America, which met the dog at the boat, had purchased it from Dr. Dyrlage T. Hemsen, one of Norway's most famed dog breeders. They planned to present it to President Hoover to take the place of the late German shepherd King Tut “
Fanciers of the Norwegian Elkhound during the early 1930s were perceptive enough to realize that the best qualities of the breed could be fostered and preserved through an association of interested breeders and exhibitors. At the Morris and Essex show in May of 1934, a group…met to discuss the establishment of such an organization. Bayard Boyesen, Edith Cluett and Amory Coolidge were appointed to draw up a Constitution and By Laws for the group and in February of 1935 the new group was established and included four breeder members and nine associate members. The Constitution and By Laws were adopted at the end of 1935 and the club’s first specialty show was done in May, 1935 and included an entry of 52 Elkhounds, with Norwegian judge Mr. Johnny Aarflot doing the judging. Mr. Johnny Aarflot, was considered an outstanding authority on the breed in Norway and after the show he gave an encouraging talk to the Elk-hound fanciers and awarded a trophy to the dog he considered the best American-bred, Champion Vaaben av Vindsval. The Norwegian Breed Standard as translated by Mr. Aarflot was subsequently adopted and approved by the American Kennel Club in 1935. In December 1936, the club was admitted as a member club of the American Kennel Club.

During the early years, the Norwegian Elkhound Association of America sponsored several what we would call today, “supported” specialties. It was not until an NEAA board meeting, held February 13, 1961 that it was suggested by then President Robert Crafts that the Association undertake a true specialty show. NEAA’s first independent National Specialty was organized and held in April 1962 in conjunction with the International Kennel Club in Chicago. Subsequent National Specialties and results beginning in 1962 were as follows:
1962 First National Specialty: Held in conjunction with the International Kennel Club, in Chicago in April of 1962. Mr. Johnny Aaarflot was the judge and from a record entry of 72 Best of Breed was Champion Gladjac Royal Oslo (Breeder Armine St. Germain, Owner: Mrs. Susan D. Phillips). Best of Opposite Sex from the classes was Cedarstone’s Zorei (Breeder-owner: Thelma J. Heyworth).
1965 Second National Specialty: Held in conjunction with the Golden Gate Kennel Club in San Francisco. Miss Gerd Berbom came from Norway to judge 118 Elkhounds and gave Best of Breed to Artic Storm of Pomfret (a son of the 1st Specialty winner, bred by Susan D. Phillips and owned by Doris Gustafson) and Best Opposite to Vin-Melca’s Rebel Cry (Breeder/owner Patricia A.Vincent (Craig-Trotter).
