KC Breed Standard Mid. Count. NTA Ch 20 Judge	Midland Counties Norfolk Terrier Association Championship Show, 10th October 2020 The Kennel Club Breed Standard for the Norfolk Terrier includes some poignant words and phrases, such as “compact and strong, hardy constitution, alert and fearless”. These words can be equally attributable and applied to the Committee and Helpers of the MCNTA, who have worked tirelessly to put on a Dog Show in the current difficult and challenging climate, having sought advice and approval from the Kennel Club and the Local Authority and put in place the necessary protocols and procedures to adhere to the Government’s Guidelines on holding outdoor events. They have remained strong and maintained a hardy constitution in facing and addressing many challenging issues and adversities in a stoic and determined manner and even managed a smile on their faces through the many trials and tribulations. The Show was not what we are used to, and certain changes were required to comply with the legislation and observing social distancing guidelines, and being supplied with a comprehensive Risk Assessment. However, everyone seemed to cope well with the necessary changes and appreciated returning to some sort of normality and back to business as usual. Thankyou and well done to all concerned. Given the trying circumstances entries were down compared to a normal Club Show, however the overall quality of the entry was not affected, and resulted in some considerably difficult decisions. I am extremely grateful and appreciative of the work done by my 3 Ring Stewards, Ian Gabriel, Tania Garner and Carmel Clarke-O’Neil, between them they managed the ring in a seamless and professional manner and even managed to sanitise the judging table between every exhibit. SBD (2.1) 1. Hadfield’s Belleville Born To be Free. 2 yr old outgoing type and full of ring presence, outgoing and typy, good broad skull with well defined stop, a little long in body, coat in between, moved with attitude.

Very nice youngster just needs a bit more confidence and ring training, head coming on well, muzzle needs to fill out slightly, very good coat and presented well, little unsettled on the move. BPD.

Nicely balanced dog, keen and alert and appeared ready to do business, tended to be overstretched in rear, thus spoiling topline and making stifle appear straight, nice head and expression, well boned throughout, very well presented, front movement could be firmer.

Midland Counties Norfolk Terrier Association
Championship Show, 10th October 2020

The Kennel Club Breed Standard for the Norfolk Terrier includes some poignant words and phrases, such as “compact and strong, hardy constitution, alert and fearless”. These words can be equally attributable and applied to the Committee and Helpers of the MCNTA, who have worked tirelessly to put on a Dog Show in the current difficult and challenging climate, having sought advice and approval from the Kennel Club and the Local Authority and put in place the necessary protocols and procedures to adhere to the Government’s Guidelines on holding outdoor events.

They have remained strong and maintained a hardy constitution in facing and addressing many challenging issues and adversities in a stoic and determined manner and even managed a smile on their faces through the many trials and tribulations.

The Show was not what we are used to, and certain changes were required to comply with the legislation and observing social distancing guidelines, and being supplied with a comprehensive Risk Assessment. However, everyone seemed to cope well with the necessary changes and appreciated returning to some sort of normality and back to business as usual.
