NORFOLK JUDGE LKA 13

Norfolk Terriers

I appreciated the excellent entry but I was a bit disappointed at how long it takes for some exhibitors to get into the ring! For both challenges we had to wait several minutes before the unbeatens finally appeared!

I found the breed to be very mixed indeed & it was not easy to establish a ‘type’ though I have to add that I was very pleased with both line ups. I found one or two non scissor bites, some small teeth but worryingly a number with quite fine muzzles. On a cheerier note, I was thrilled to watch the BOB winner give a sterling performance in the big ring & go on to G4 in a very, very strong group. It augurs well for the future of this youngster of 14 months who was winning his first CC.

MPD (6,1a)

1 Atkinson’s Blakens Sugar Kandy Dips, what a start to the day with this absolute charmer. All of a piece, lovely size, so compact, big ribbed, beautiful head, eyes & that game for anything expression. He is so well ribbed, excellent backline & holds himself so arrogantly on the move. Great presentation & I am sure he will go on to be a force in the breed next year;

2 Thompson-Morgan’s Belleville Stocking Up, just 8 months this little livewire is a real handful as he is so full of his own importance. I see he is a half brother to the BOB. Full of Norfolk charm, excels in neck, backline, strong bone & such a good bend of stifle. His head is a delight & once he learns a little discipline on the move, his future will be assured;

3 Riley’s Millstrand Cut The Mustard.

PD (2)

1 M Cut The Mustard, this well bodied & ribbed b/t is unlucky in that he is short of neck which detracts from his overall appeal in stance. Head handles well, really good ring, bags of substance & he holds his backline so firmly as he motors around the ring. His head is well balanced, good muzzle & such dark eyes. Well presented;

2 Stevenson’s Brickin Countrywide, smaller all through & not quite the weight of bone of the first & he needs to develop in body & gain width behind the withers. He does have a lovely neck & head carriage & he has really good hind angulation. Played his handler up on the move, especially when coming towards me.

JD (6,1)

1 Phillips, Gullick & Tate’s Jaeva Cufflink, I hope he doesn’t grow on as he is big enough already but he is impressive to handle. All male in outlook, strong head, beautiful eyes & ears, powerful neck, well laid shoulders & firm in body. So compact with good bone & he was in spotless coat condition. Moved out with reach & drive & never let up showing. I shall watch his career with interest;

2 Phillip’s Blakens The Kandy Man, he almost snatched the red card as he is so me in head, gorgeous eyes & that expression is a delight. Such a compact chap, enough neck, good layback in shoulder, well bodied & a good backline with a nice bend of stifle. He was amply alive when in stance but just did not put all in on the move, lacking the oomph & purpose of Cufflink. Could finish really well;

3 Gee’s Watercroft Diamond Dealer.

PGD (2,1)

1 Sant’s Nordalset Look To The Future, pleasing headpiece, good eye shape & colour, beautiful set of gnashers, enough neck which is powerful, lovely spring to his ribcage which has depth & he is well muscled in hindquarters. Not in full coat but what he had was groomed to perfection. Holds himself well on the move.

LD (3)

1 RCC, Jenkins’ Kinsridge Cash Back, heaps to like, correct size & substance, certainly compact with a good body, level back, excellent coat & presentation & he has a delightful headpiece with especially good eyes & expression. He is sound in action but in the challenge he could not match the verve & drive of the CC winner. I believe is sitting on 2 CCs & hopefully the third will come along;

2 Darnell’s Jacquidon Tough As A Nut, a size larger & heavier all through & while his head is balanced & good to handle, I feel his eye is just on the full side so his expression is less appealing than Cash. Lovely ribbing, stunning coat & he moved out with a spring in his step;

3 Ackling’ Ruby Rueben.

OD (6,1)

1 CC, BOB & G4, Thompson-Morgan’s Belleville Seduction, just 14 months but this b/t just sold himself to me the longer he was in the ring. Attitude to burn, stunning head, eyes, ears & expression, lovely strength in muzzle & that compact, sturdy body shape with a level back & a good tail. Flawless in coat condition & once his enthusiasm was curbed, he displayed a wonderfully powerful action, really using his hocks to produce a seemingly effortless gliding action. I wish him well;

2 Green’s Wharfvalley Diamond Star, another lovely example of the breed, this red dog has a quality headpiece, lovely foreface, beautiful eyes & that bright, anticipatory expression. He is well boned, has excellent feet & was in good coat. Sound as a pound but not the rear propulsion of Seduction as they circled the ring. Nonetheless a dog of much charm;

3 Phillips, Craddock & Collin’s Ch Fontanasi Golden Chalice with Jaeva.

VD (2) 1 Riley’s Lastarean Check Mate at Millstrand, scores in head properties with really good eyes giving a typical expression, back firm & level, in stunning condition & fairly lively in action;

2 Philip’s Hey Smart Lookin at Nordalset, red dog, so sound moving, the tightest of feet & well boned. Topline sagging a trifle, well balanced head but his eyes are a tad full for me. In good bloom.

MPB (6,1)

1 Hurrion’s Villassa Star Turn, I found her most appealing in expression, utterly feminine in outlook yet so alive & ready for anything. Loved her size & well weight bone, she is nicely ribbed, sufficient neck, firm backline & she holds herself so well on the move. Her head I liked a lot, so balanced, slightly rounded in skull, ample stop & those eyes;

2 Thompson-Morgan’s Belleville Call Of The Wild, I see is another half sister of the BOB & I know this one was attending her first show & she was full of herself! Understandably a bit of a fidget but when she settled the shape is a delight. Compact, good neck, stunning head balance, neat ears & such dark eyes which dare you not to like her. Did everything you could want for a first show & once she settles to the job in hand on the move, she will do really well;

3 Stevenson’s Brickin Surprise Surprise.

PB (5,2)

1 CC & BP, Phillips’ Jaeva Play The Ace, breed type in spades! Style, shape, soundness, showmanship, stunning head & expression, spotless jacket, fleet footed & holds herself so well as she circles the ring. What more could you ask for? I believe she is aptly named & she certainly was a joy to judge;

2 List’s Nicnips Evensong, nicely headed, eye could be a little less full for me, so well ribbed & bodied, shade long in loin, excellent coat condition & her smooth, balanced profile action earned her this placing;

3 Broom’s Roxway Fable.

JB (8,3)

1 RCC, Phillips’ Blakens Sugar Candy Kisses, I see this gorgeous youngster is the third member of the same litter which won under me today. She is so very compact, well ribbed, excellent bend of stifle, strong in hock, back as steady as a rock & she was in excellent coat. I loved her head & expression, stunning eyes & neat ears. To me she just screams breed type & hopefully she will go on to better things. The sheer attitude & drive of the BCC winner on the move settled the score;

2 Davies’ Perrisblu Playtime, lots to like in this very smart bitch. Good head, dark eyes giving a lovely expression, ample neck, well ribbed, a shade longer in loin than the winner but her backline is level. She is well boned with very good feet & she can motor as she circles the ring;

3 Green’s Wharfvalley Wild Child.

PGB (6)

1 Atkinson’s Moortop Again No Choice, what a free striding, sound actioned bitch this is. I liked her head pattern, the expression enhanced by such lovely dark, oval eyes & the neatest of ears. She scores in foreface, lovely mouth & a good head carriage. Her ribs have depth, she is short in loin, so compact & shapely with really good hindquarters;

2 B Call Of The Wild;

3 Hess & Higgin’s Umbrage The Gloriana.

LB (3)

1 Smith’s Javidel Definitely Maybe, b/t who I thought was the best for type. Lovely size, so well proportioned in length/height, lovely bend of stifle, ample forechest & she is well boned. Her head is charming, such a good eye & expression & her muzzle is lovely. Moved out well;

2 Saltmarsh’s Pipridges Hazel, unfortunately this red is between coats which not help her cause. Very good head shape, lovely strength in muzzle, such a good mouth & well ribbed. A bit lethargic on the move;

3 Darnell’s Watercroft Cherry On Top.

OB (4)

1 Hurrion’s Ch Villassa Cherry Ripple, has a definite air of quality & am unsurprised to see she is already titled. I loved her expression, the head is so balanced, neat ears & lovely eyes. She is compact, well made with decent angles both ends, her backline is firm & she was in good bloom. Sound in profile action & she showed her head off;

2 Thompson-Morgan’s Belleville Just Magic, this teenager is just a bagful of beans & personality plus. Not nearly so finished as the winner yet, but she has style, is compact, well weighted bone & is quite something else in action. Just needs to mature & then she will become a threat to many;

3 Gee’s Watercroft Top Of The Pops.

VB (2,1)

1 Hess & Higgin’s Kapitada Fireopal at Umbrage, 9 years young, in spotless coat, fit as the proverbial flea & showed many of the youngsters just how well the breed can move. Pleasing head, expression so alive, excellent muscletone & never stopped trying.
