CH Minette of Kelso
Minette was bred by Isobel Ormiston in the 1930's.  From this picture, she was declared as portraying the perfect breed type by Mons. R. Bander Snickt.  He was an eminent Belgian authority on the breed, and was the secretary of the Royal Schipperkes Club in 1934. 
This photo was used to illustrate the 1934 booklet of the Royal Schipperkes Club.  It also appears in the 1950 book by Isobel Ormiston, the 1976 Schipperke book by Vella Root, and the 1990 SCA Schipperke book.
Even though Minette was bred so long ago, she would still be considered a beautiful schipperke by today's standards as well.
