NORWICH BIRMINGHAM NATIONAL 19 Judge: Mr Veli-Pekka Kumpumaki BEST OF BREED : 7277 CRAWLEY, Mrs L & ODDIE Mr M Ch Ragus The Jumping Jack - CC NORWICH JUDGE BIRMINGHAM NATIONAL 19 I was really looking forward to my judging appointment at Birmingham National. One of the reasons was the possibility to go over a good number of Norwich terriers. I have had the privilege to have known some great authorities of this breed and I will always have a very warm spot for the Norwich terriers in my heart. The quality was good. I found some very beautiful compact individuals of correct type. I was very pleased with them. I also admired your (very correct) way of grooming! Some of them could have been more compact in body. Some were weak in underjaw. Some were lacking in angulation and it was showing in the movement. The problems seem to be similar everywhere. In general I found some very good heads with nice expressions. Good bones, and they were of a very good size. The behinds were probably better than in my home country and the tailsets were good. The tails were not straight yet, it will require time and attention. But it will happen some day, I’m sure of that. We have been in the same situation and it has taken almost 20 years to correct the tails after the docking ban. Looking now at my results it seems to have been a field day for Ragus- kennels. My sincere congratulations for flying the flag so high for this lovely breed. Thank you everybody for showing under me, I really appreciated it. Best of luck for the future!
