NORFOLK WELSH KENNEL CLUB 22 Judge: Mr Jeff Horswell NORFOLK JUDGE WELSH KC 22 Norfolk exhibitors are always a sporting bunch, supporting each other, and the dogs also have great temperaments. The standard twice says they should be compact and short in back, so I was alarmed to find that the majority were too long in back, and some were too short on leg, so the outline wasn’t typical. I do hope that breeders can correct this. Both CC winners were, in my opinion, the right shape making them very typical of this great little terrier. Veteran D (1) 1st: 5616 NASH, Mrs R Ralph Of House Nash ShCEx Very good moving chunky d. He has a masc head. Liked his length and strength of jaw. Enough neck.
