Norfolks were first in the ring at Windsor, this year judged on Saturday 1st July in the Home Park in a lovely setting near the Thames. It was dry, but overcast, and the sun made only a brief appearance, making it a pleasant day outside for the dogs. Mrs Tricha Grey drew a good entry of 49 Norfolks. comprising 18 dogs less 4 absent and 31 bitches with 9 absent, so a total of 36 in the ring. Windsor also schedules minor puppy and yearling classes, so five youngsters made their first appearance at a championship show.
