Club's Colours
It was on October 4th 1964 that
an emergency Committee Meeting of the
Norwich Terrier Club was called, the
agenda stating that it was for the
"Creation of the Norfolk
Terrier" and from then on the new
breed and the new Club were in
existence. (From Marjorie
Buntings Why the Norfolk? in the first
Norfolk Terrier Club Handbook,
1968).
More reading on how the
drop-eared Norwich became the Norfolk
Terrier can be found in Eileen Needham's 'A Short History of the Norfolk
Terrier' on this website.
Prior to separation, the breed
was making slow progress and winning few
honours in the show ring, but with a new
name, its own Challenge Certificates, and
the formation of the Club, the breed
began a real renaissance that has
resulted in the wonderful dogs we see
today, both in the ring, and as pets.
Great credit goes to the first committee
who had not only struggled to keep the
drop-eared Norwich Terrier on its feet
but also laid the foundations that have
made the Norfolk Terrier Club the success
it is today. The Chairman of this first
committee was Joy Taylor, twice
President, who sadly died in 2006 and is
still missed by so many who knew her.
The aims of the Club include
protecting and promoting the interests of
the breed and giving all possible help to
owners, breeders and exhibitors of
Norfolk Terriers. The Club
organises two Open Shows and one
Championship Show annually, the Fun Day
which is the traditional rally with the
Norwich Terrier, plus workshops and
seminars on a variety of canine subjects,
including judging the breed and coat
care. Norfolk Terrier Club Juniors have
their own Club and website and the Club
Breed Stand (Best Terrier Stand Crufts
2007) sells Norfolk Terrier inspired
merchandise at Crufts and the Club events
and also by mail order.
Club members run the prize
winning Norfolk Terrier Discover Dogs
booth at Crufts (2nd prize all breeds
Best Booth Competition Crufts 2002) and
at Earls Court in November (6th prize all
breeds Best Booth Competition2006) .
There is a Handbook every two years and a
regular Newsletter that is always eagerly
anticipated by both exhibitors and pet
owners.
The Club, recently renamed The
Norfolk Terrier Club of Great Britain,
goes from strength to strength; at its
inception in 1964, the membership was
125, now it is nearly 1000.
Details about becoming a member
can be found in Join the Club on this
website.
