NORFOLK JUDGE WELKS 10

Norfolk Terriers

A rather difficult assignment as the size variation & length/height proportions vary enormously, as do head types, leg lengths & the degree of sound action.

I had to give a lot of thought most of the time & some which I really liked just did not perform & paid the price. Coats varied, some pristine others had been harshly stripped or were changing coats so looked like the moths had been there! I enjoyed my day & the ringside were a delight.

MPD (4)

1 RCC, Atkinson’s Wharfvalley Diamond Bright at Moortop, this fellow is up to size but hopefully has finished growing. Head is lovely, all male, excellent eyes, ears & muzzle, well ribbed & bodied, straight forelegs, one of the best movers of the day, in excellent bloom, he never stopped showing & earned his reward;

2 Green’s Wharfvalley Diamond Star, see is litter brother to 1 & he will be preferred by others as he is the better size & is that tad shorter in loin. I gave the nod to Diamond as for me he has the better eye shape & on the go around he definitely had the more forceful hind action. Otherwise he is a very smart dog & their sister won PB;

3 Devereux’s Vichea Pick Pocket.

PD (5)

1 Stevenson’s Brickin Extra Smart, I was impressed by this b/t as he is so well put together, quite compact with a lovely spring of rib, level in backline & well set tail, nice head planes, dark eyes, well coated. Didn’t put all in when moving, weaving badly coming towards me & in profile he never extended as well as construction inferred he would;

2 Jenkins’ Kinsridge Top Gun, very smart red whose ears are a bit unsettled which detract from his expression. Handles so well on the table, excels in neck & ribcage. Needs to settle in front action, side on he pleases & I feel he could finish very well;

3 Philip’s Jaeva Well I Be Darned at Nordalset.

JD (2)

1 Gullick & Oliver’s Jaeva Roger The Butler, compact, well coated & presented, excellent spring of rib, level back. Bit steep in upper arm & he paddles a bit in front when moving, would like to see him extend more in profile;

2 Simpson’s Umbrage Longton cum Megalux, a bit up on the leg exaggerated by his being out of coat. Pleasing head, very good eyes & expression, he certainly can motor around the ring.

PGD (3,1a)

1 Smith’s Javidel Come What May, solid, chunky bodied red, scoring in reach of neck & firm backline, pleasing head, nice eye shape & colour. Spoils his chances on the move where he is so extrovert that he loses his shape. A character;

2 Thompson-Morgan’s Bellville Angelo, another who pleased me on the table with his lovely eyes & ears combining to give a good expression, backline level, good tail, lovely bend of stifle. While 1 could have been on rocket fuel, this chap was almost lethargic & lacked any real drive.

MPB (9,2)

1 Wharfvalley Diamond Diva, stood out in this class of babies as she was the most accomplished in ring deportment, has self belief & shows extremely well, lovely size, compact & sturdy, pleasing head, so alive in expression. Not nearly so advanced as her brother but given time I’m sure she will win very well;

2 Phillips’ Blakens Toffee Kisses, this b/t is so very pretty in head & expression, decent spring & depth of rib, lovely feet, good topline. Shows a positive stride in profile but needs to settle in front;

3 Devereux’s Vichea Heavens Sent.

PB (7,1)

1 Hutchen’s Kreaqtin Kiss N Tell, won her on her smoothest action, nice for size, well boned, head coming along well, she is blessed with dark, well shaped eyes, in good coat, shows promise;
