NORFOLK JUDGE BORDER UNION 23

Many thanks to the officers and committee for the invitation to judge at this wonderful show, one of my favourites for layout, traditional feel and atmosphere. It has lots of space for exhibitors and excellent size rings. Whilst I only had a small entry, the quality was fantastic, with every dog been worthy of their placings. A lovely breed, who were a delight to judge, all put down in fine fettle. Although it was very warm the dogs performed admirably. I thank the exhibitors for their entries.

662. Norfolk Terrier - Puppy Dog Entries: 2 Absentees: 1

1ST 1963 - Watercroft Tiger Feet (Mrs R Gee). What a lovely young man to start with. Full of quality, balanced and of excellent type, quite well developed for age. Typical head, with good width, defined stop, with dark eye and alert expression, finished off with well placed ears. Ample neck, leading into a good front assembly. His body is compact, good ribbing, correct topline and strong loin, with substance and bone. He has well defined hindquarters.and was sporting a thick coat which was in good condition. He moved well when settled and was full of fun. Im sure he will go on to bigger things. BP.

1ST 1961 - Ch Watercroft Boozy Miller (Mrs R Gee). His ring presence shone out as soon as he entered the ring, on his toes and presenting the exact picture you are looking for. He was sporting his best rich red crisp, wiry, flat red jacket today. He is so compact in shape and well bodied with the correct muscletone. Typical head, which has strength and has that alert intelligent expression. Clean through neck, well laid shoulders, straight front, good bone, well ribbed, tail on top and plenty behind. He powered his way around the ring, so true from every angle. No hesitation in awarding him DCC and BOB, hes a cracker.

2ND 1967 - Belleville Plum Sauce (Mrs C S Thompson-Morgan) . Another quality male. Typical head, well ribbed, good body with substance and bone, tail on top. Crisp thick jacked. He moved well. Not quite as compact and together as one, which was apparent on the move.RDCC.

670. Norfolk Terrier - Puppy Bitch Entries: 2 Absentees: 0

1ST 1960 - Watercroft Back in A Jiffy (Mrs R Gee) . A very feminine, sweet black and tan puppy, who I kept going back to. She has a typical head , of good proportions, well defined stop, good ears and lovely expression. She is so well built, compact, excellent proportions and great balance. Good through ribs, correct topline and tail on top, with plenty behind. She stood on tidy round feet with thick pads. She was sporting a great jacket which was well presented and finished the picture. I think she will be the one to watch in the coming months.

2ND 1966 - Belleville Hope Star (Mrs C S Thompson-Morgan). Another quality puppy, who didn't have the jacket of 1 today, but has very similar qualities. The best of heads, clean neck, tidy front and well ribbed and bodied. Tail on top with plenty behind and strong quarters. Another who I am sure will go on to big things.

672. Norfolk Terrier - Yearling Bitch Entries: 1 Absentees: 0

1ST 1964 - Watercroft Treacle Toffee JW (Mrs R Gee) A quality young bitch of good size, type and is so well balanced. Sporting a correct jacket, in good condition and well presented. Smart head, whilst feminine, it had strength, wedge shaped, strong muzzle, good stop, dark eye and a ever alert expression. Very clean through the neck, compact through body with short back and a lovely rear assembly. She motored cleanly and precisely around the ring to bag the RCC.

675. Norfolk Terrier - Limit Bitch Entries: 1 Absentees: 0

1ST 1959 - Moortop Bobby's Girl (Mrs M E Atkinson) . Another typey exhibit. Pleasing head, well angled front, tail on top and held correctly on the move. Covered the ground well.

676. Norfolk Terrier - Open Bitch Entries: 2 Absentees: 0

1ST 1965 - Belleville Citation (Mrs C S Thompson-Morgan) . A quality young bitch. Very well put together. Very typical through a well defined and balanced feminine head. Clean through neck and runs smoothly in well placed shoulders. She is compact, well ribbed has the required substance, strong loin and tail well on top with plenty behind, strong well angled rearb assembly. She moved really well in profile covering the ground with extension and drive. Her crisp jacket was well presented to complete the picture. Can be a little naughty at times (she is a norfolk), but no hesitation in awarding her the CC, im sure a lot more will follow.

2ND 1962 - Ch Watercroft in The Que (Mrs R Gee) Quality bitch of typical type, balanced throughout and well angled both front and rear. She had strong well developed quarters. Has a very pleasing head, tidy ears and a typical expression. Sporting a thick jacket. She is smart on the move, but preferred the cleaner, more positive movement of 1 today.
