MIDLAND COUNTIES NORFOLK TERRIER ASSOCIATIONS CHAMPIONSHIPSHOW
 21 OCTOBER 2017

Certainly a huge honour to be given the incredible privilege to judge this show which was in celebration of  the clubs’ 25 years existence !
The committee had done an incredible job regarding as well organising as advertising.
Norfolk Terrier enthusiasts came from many European countries as well as a strong contingent from the USA – and even I was told – from Australia.
Also a  lovely and enjoyable dinner where I was presented with a lovely watercolour of our Norfolk Marcus painted by Pippa Thew.
And not least important : The show attracted an entry of 104 made by 99 dogs.
Chief Steward Max King did a great job keeping as well the judge as the exhibitors under control to make sure the time table was adhered to. Ably assisted by Claire Rogers , Preston Haffenden and Peter Baxter.
The overall quality of the exhibits was far better than I had expected and many difficult and close decisions had to be made.
I was very impressed with temperament- and I don’t think a single dog objected to being handled by the judge and most showed themselves off with great enthusiasm.
One or two with too much enthusiasm , but I think it is only lovely to watch terriers being terriers !
