NORFOLK JUDGE BIRMINGHAM NATIONAL 18

It was a great pleasure to be asked to judge at the Birmingham Dog Show which is most likely to be the last time I judge. I do feel that older breed judges should be given grandfather rights as we may only be asked to judge on alternate years. I have had Norfolks around me for 76 years having had one tied to my pram. Over the years many breeders have allowed me to go over their dogs this has given me great pleasure and I am grateful for the privilege. On Friday I was ably assisted by two excellent stewards who I wish to thank.
