Norwich Terrier

Judge: Mr Paul Eardley

There are usually enough good Norwich in an entry to make it interesting and today was no exception. Overall I think that mouths have improves as have tails and I had no concerns at all with breathing so well done on that score.

Class 1871 PD (2 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6789 THOMPSON-MORGAN Mrs C S Belleville Total Eclipse-lovely one to start the day with, showy, good proportions, good mover in all directions, head developing well. Res CC and should have a bright future. Was best puppy and then 4th in the puppy group. Well done.

2nd: 6770 CRAWLEY Mrs L A Ragus Comedy King-at a difficult age and not as together as the winner, the winner was a touch cobbier and better in the rear, this one had a better tail and head is well developed. Promising.

Class 1872 JD (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6782 PAGE Mr I, Mrs K & Miss C Contilly Ask No Questions Between Winflash-showy dog, bit longer than I would prefer, held his outline well.

Class 1873 PGD (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6780 MASON T G & A G Ragus Mark My Words To Glenhafod-lovely cobby dog and a super outline, examined well on the table, head was ok, promising.

Class 1874 LD NO ENTRIES

Class 1875 OD (6 Entries) Abs: 2

1st: 6766 CRAWLEY Mrs L A Ragus Beyond Question-lovely type, the best head in the entry, super outline with a firm level topline, fabulous rear movement, correct coat texture, well presented, is a showman, loved his feet and I loved the way he looked at me. Tail was a bit straighter than some which enhanced the picture. CC and BOB and finished up Gp 4.

2nd: 6785 SMITH Mrs A Javidel Walk In The Park-another one who was lovely and cobby, great temperament, not quite the head or tail carriage of the winner but has loads of attitude and is of good type.

3rd: 6788 TATE Mrs K Ch Jaeva Pay The Piper

Class 1876 VD NO ENTRIES

Class 1877 PB (6 Entries) Abs: 4

1st: 6783 PAGE Mr I, Mrs K & Miss C Winflash To Russia With Love-just 6 months and was a little more settled as the class went on. Pretty and feminine. Needs a bit more ring training to show us what she can really do.

2nd: 6778 HORSEWOOD, Mr I & Mrs C & HORSEWOOD Miss T Trutillian Fairy Princess-not very relaxed in the ring, decent coat, good bone for her age. Hopefully she will settle in to it with more experience.

Class 1878 JB (4 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6777 HITCHEN Mrs C Kreatin Added Extra-won a good class, handy sort, good proportions and outline, super head, feminine but with enough bone and substance. Was good on the move. Continued to take my eye to win the Res CC.

2nd: 6786 TATE Mrs K Jaeva Run N'jump-very attractive colour and caught my eye when she came in. Lovely to go over. Unfortunately was not very cooperative which pegged her against the winner’s showmanship. Super sort.

3rd: 6773 GRAVES Mrs N C Ragus Love Letter To Pipsacre

Class 1879 PGB (2 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6765 BATEY Mrs D Contilly On Fire-steady, lovely outline, well presented, good tail, firm topline, would prefer a better head.

2nd: 6787 TATE Mrs K Ladies Maid Jaeva-good type, feminine, really good coat, lovely head and good proportions.

Class 1880 LB (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6775 HAYES Mrs A C Ragus Seven Jumps JW-nice sort, I judged her when she was a naughty baby and now she has settled down to be a nice steady girl. Good outline, ok in head, feminine.

Class 1881 OB (3 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6767 CRAWLEY Mrs L A Ragus True Love Ways-super type and when she settled she really came in to her own, super coat, excellent mover, feminine and good outline. Quality and coat won her the CC and she looked good against the dog as they were both similar in type.

2nd: 6776 HITCHEN Mrs C Ch Kreatin Extra Treat-nice and cobby, very feminine, firm topline, not quite the rear of the winner.

3rd: 6768 CRAWLEY Mrs L A Ragus Loving Spoonful

Class 1882 VB NO ENTRIES
