Ch. King's Prevention Ahoy, Bitch

Critique by Anne Rogers Clark:
Because I did not realize that mouths had to be checked daily during teething on Norfolks-Bridget"s mouth came in just a slighty wry on her left side This did not keep her from finishing almost without defeat--and in strict competition. She finished at the National with my friend Damara Bolte showing her as we were in South America!!! Bridget was a perfect dog---too smart--a great companion--a great brood bitch and mother and we were devestated when we lost her from complications of C-Sections. There will never be another!!!! She was great in the field--and could point her head in the direction that the Geese were coming in--long before the Chesapeake's knew a thing! |
King's Prevention Jolly Roger, Dog
By Ch. Elve Pure Magic out of King's Prevention Belinda
Critique by Anne Rogers Clark:
Jolly Roger was a beautiful Drop Eared Norwich--that was what Norfolk were called in the days when we started out in the breed. He was proper size, proper make and shape, great ears. He was a rich black and tan with perfectly shaped and set jet black eyes. Lovely front and shoulder-level topline-super set on and carriage of tail. His worst fault was that he had one undecended testicle. Jim and I were very impressed with him and begged Constance to let us breed to him--which she finally agreed to--Thank God as he did great things for the breed. His male puppies were entire and and the testicle fault never turned up in later generations. The undecended testicle was very close to being in the correct place--had attention been paid to it as he was coming of age (by pulling it down several times a day) I am sure the fault could have been corrected. He was sound, a very correct mover and enjoyed a super outlook on life.

Ch. Royal Rock Don Of Chidley

Breeders' Memories
I saw a norwich for the very first time while watching Westminister and the dog was Don. I was lucky five years later to get a daughter out of Don who was my first Norwich Champion and I believe, Don's 97th champion. Then I was fortunate one year (can't remember when) I actually saw him in person at Montgomery showing in the Veteran's class. I was always impressed by him.
Norma Braun, Janora Norwich Terriers
I can remember when Don was an old man ... tottering around Joan's house ... and Willum was young and full of himself and he'd put his nose in Don's face and go up on his toes a little ... and Don would wag his tail and walk on by, oblivious to the 'challenge'. A grand old dog.
