It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Joy Taylor in the early hours of 18th April 2006. She was an amazing woman, knowledgeable, articulate, forthright, always elegant, hospitable, with a world wide circle of friends who will all miss her enormously. She bore pain with great fortitude.  Dogs were her life interest, Norfolk Terriers and a Min Pin or two in the kitchen.  
To her family we send our sympathy and condolences.

Over 50 years ago she started breeding drop-eared Norwich terriers, and as the famous Nanfan Norfolk Terriers they have conquered the world. The influence of her breeding programme is incomparable; nearly every single modern Norfolk Terrier today can trace back to a Nanfan in its pedigree.

We would be delighted if you would like to contribute a few words about Joy in our Book of Tributes on this web site.

Cherry Howard, President Norfolk Terrier Club of Great Britain.

With the death of Joy Taylor of the world famous Nanfan Norfolk Terriers an era has come to an end. For the last 50 years the closely bred Nanfans have shaped the breed stamping their distinctive type on their progeny not only in Britain with 39 Nanfan champions, but in the US, Scandinavia, Holland, Germany, Italy and Australia. Joy died suddenly in Gloucester hospital only three weeks before her 84th birthday. I am sure that all her hundreds of friends all over the world would say that to know Joy was not only to respect her but also to love her – and certainly never forget her.

FOR THE RESULTS OF THE NORFOLK TERRIER CLUB OF GREAT BRITAIN CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW, HELD AT  BRACKLEY LEISURE CENTRE ON SUNDAY 25th SEPTEMBER 2005 AND JUDGED  BY MRS FERELITH SOMERFIELD SEE

CH JAEVA GOLD AURIC ON A HIGH!He wins the dog CC, Best of Breed and Group 1 in the Terrier Group at Darlington on 16th September and follows that by winning Best In Show at the Norfolk Terrier Club Championship Show on Sunday 25th September. His ownership has temporarily changed into the names of Mrs B Phillips and Andrew Gullick, who handles Woody. The bitch CC and Reserve Best in Show was Mary Atkinson’s

CH HOBSON’S CHOICE AT MOORTOP. Mrs Ferelith Somerfield was the judge at our championship show this year, vastly experienced, this was her 20th time of awarding CCs to the breed over the years. Her choice for the dog RCC and Best Puppy was Rita Mitchell’s RICHELL CONTRABAND, who has been unbeaten in dog puppy classes this year. KINSRIDGE SUNFLOWER in the joint ownership of Diane Jenkins, Richard Allen & Neil Dams, won the bitch RCC.

In quick succession follows our 4th champion of the year, subject to Kennel Club approval: Cathy Thompson-Morgan’s ALLRIGHT SMART SIR BYRON (imp), bred by Frauke Hinsch in Germany of truly international bloodlines, with English, American, German and Swedish dogs in his pedigree. He won his crowning CC and Best of Breed at Richmond under Finnish judge Mr Johan J Juslin, repeating his similar triumph at City of Birmingham with Mrs Cherry Howard a week earlier. His first CC was won in Scotland in May where Mr Ellis Hulme had the same CC winners as at City of Birmingham. Cathy did well at Richmond as she produced the Bitch CC winner in a young puppy, BELLEVILLE PETTICOAT LANE, and the Dog RCC winner in BELLEVILLE THUNDER STRUCK. Elisabeth Matell has now won three successive reserve CCs with her bitch puppy CRACKNOR COOKING UP A STORM.

Congratulations to CH HOBSON’S CHOICE AT MOORTOP! She became our 3rd champion of the year when she won her 3rd qualifying Challenge Certificate in Scotland (Aug) from Marilyn Claydon and a week later added her 4th CC at City of Birmingham. She is owned by Mary Atkinson who started breeding drop-eared Norwich in the 1960s, before separation - the record-breaking 
Ch Colonsay Orderly Dog was actually bred by Mary although owned and registered by Miss Macfie. Mary’s daughter, Dale, has carried on the family tradition with her Didjim affix, but the Moortop affix is present in many pedigrees. The new champion is by Jaeva Duty Free out of Didjim Flycatcher, this bitch is now owned by a close friend, Mrs Ferrand, but was bred by Mary’s daughter Dale. Sadly Flycatcher only had the one live puppy, hence the name of Hobson’s Choice.

WELL DONE, RACHAEL! Image removed.
Rachael Benney has just qualified with Kenmillen London Eye (Max) to represent England at Crufts 2006 in the Young Kennel Club Handling Class in the 7 - 11 year age group.   She will also be competing in the 12-16 Years class as she will shortly be 12 years old.

COCO GOES BEST IN SHOW AT CRUFTS!

Coco has admirers in high places. 
Nan Chadwick, as a result of her involvement with the magistracy, was at a reception and had the honour of being presented to HM Queen. Nan was asked beforehand if there was anything else she wanted to say to the Queen and so she suggested saying that she bred Norfolks. The Queen was most interested and went on to say what a great win a Norfolk had last Sunday at Crufts.

Coco BIS Crufts 2006

 

Eng/Am Ch Cracknor Cause Celebre tops the lot after winning the Terrier Group on the first night.

Shown with great skill by Peter Green, Coco put up a terrific performance to become Best in Show judged by Miss Jean Lanning.  Norfolk Terrier expert Lesley Crawley had made her Best of Breed and Geir Flyckt Pedersen had awarded her the Terrier Group on Thursday 10th March.   She is owned jointly by Americans Pam Beale, Stephanie Ingram and her Swedish breeder Elisabeth Matell, who lives in England.

Coco BIS Crufts 2006

 

Coco is by Rita Mitchell's top sire Ch Richell Claret out of Hatchwoods Madrigal, bred by Cherry Howard who sold her as a puppy to Elisabeth Matell.  Her pedigree is based mainly on a lot of Joy Taylor's Nanfan bloodlines.

This is the first time a Norfolk Terrier has achieved this highest of accolades.   Born on 9th July 1998, she won her first CC at the Norfolk Terrier Club Championship show in 1999, and 7 other CCs in England plus a Terrier Group at the Welsh Kennel Club in 2000 with Elisabeth Matell. She had a litter to Allright Big Game which included Swe Ch Cracknor Copyright and Cracknor Copydex, before going to America and returning to the ring in 2002.    

In the USA Coco swept all before her with Beth Sweigart, her usual handler. She was Top Dog all breeds in 2003, when she also captured the top prize and $67,000 at the American Kennel Club Eukanuba Invitational as well as Best in Show at Montgomery, the top show for Terriers. She won the Terrier Group at Westminster in 2004 before taking a short time off to have a litter of puppies by Am Ch Red Cherubim's Summer Star, byCh/Am Ch Nanfan Caper’s son, Am Ch Yarrow’s Henley ex Int & World Ch Allright Indian Summer.   Back in the showring later in the year, she celebrated another Best in Show win and ended the show season again Top Terrier in the US, despite taking months off for maternal duties.

In 2005 she repeated her Best of Breed and Best in Group win at Westminster, and now the culmination of her brilliant career is the final triumph of Best in Show at Crufts. The ringside was packed to see this fabulous dog putting up a dramatic performance - she moves with tremendous energy and really strides out, always alert and on her toes as well as charming the audience with her dancing and pirouettes.   When interviewed after the win, she had to put in her own comment: "woof" she said, three times into the microphone.

She knew she was The Best.
