2008 SHOW SCENE
BORDER UNION
The furthest north of the English shows, at Springwood Park in Kelso, Roxburghshire on 15th June was where Mr Jeff Luscott was judging Norfolks for the second time. He drew a good entry for this show with 47 entries with 13 absent. Cathy Thompson-Morgan had a good day winning the Bitch CC and Best of Breed with BELLEVILLE LUCKY DICE (by Ch Brickin Held To Ransom out of Belleville Tumbling Dice) her first CC, and also RCC in dogs with BELLEVILLE PREMONITION. It was a successful journey also for Linda Philip and NORDALSET DISTINCTLY DUTCH FOR JAEVA who won their 2nd CC; he is from two re-imported Norfolks, being by Ch/SA Ch Jaeva Dutch Courage out of SA Ch Jaeva Touch A Tell. The RCC in bitches went to Mrs Beatrice Phillips & Mrs Kate Tate’s CH JAEVA FALLEN ANGEL, bred by Martin Phillips. For the 4th time Diane Jenkins won Best Puppy with KINSRIDGE TOP DOLLAR.
THREE COUNTIES
Traditionally held in the middle of the week, on Wednesday 11th June, the Norfolk Terrier Judge, Mrs Zena Thorn-Andrews drew an entry of 19 dogs and 41 bitches; sadly this show is no longer joined to the general agricultural show which is held now a week later. Three Counties has the splendid in-and-out tents, but luckily the weather held for our dogs to be judged outside. The Jaeva kennel won both CCs, making the 4th champion of the year when the Martin Phillips’s bred JAEVA HOLY MOSES (SA Ch Macsnest Nik The Kaluha at Collaton x Jaeva Bit-Of-A-Bee) won his 3rd CC from the Open Class, he is owned now by Mrs Beatrice Phillips and shown by his co-owner Andrew Gullick. But they were pipped to Best of Breed by CH JAEVA FALLEN ANGEL who was gaining her 4th CC, (Ch Jaeva For Petes Sake x Merauder Tik Tak) in the ownership of Mrs Phillips and Kate Tate, but piloted by her breeder, Martin Phillips. J Holy Moses had won his previous CCs last year at Paignton under Dorothy Dorkins and from Eileen Needham at the Welsh Kennel Club show.
The reserve Dog CC was a thrilling first such award for owner and dog, Mrs Margaret Moore with BELLEVILLE ANOTHER WIZARD AT BANNINGS, a red litter brother to black & tan Belleville Another Angel (by Allright Aladin (imp) – Ch Belleville Another Smarti). The RCC in bitches was Cathy Thompson-Morgan’s BELLEVILLE LUCKY DICE (Ch Brickin Held To Ransom – Belleville Tumbling Dice).
Best Puppy went to the dog, Diane Jenkins’ KINSRIDGE TOP DOLLAR, and she later took him to Puppy Group 3 under Judge Mr Jack Watson.
SOUTHERN COUNTIES. The scene switched to Newbury’s permanent showground on Saturday 30th June, where Bill Browne-Cole was judging our breed. A warm pleasant day, not too hot for the dogs and a happy atmosphere around the ringside saw four youngsters to the fore – all under 18 months, with Di Jenkins and her homebred KINSRIDGE TOP DOLLAR winning the Dog CC, Best of Breed from the puppy class – and therefore Best Puppy. He is by Kinsridge Jack Daniels, (bred via AI by Am Ch Max-well’s Cyclone x Ch Kinsridge Wild Child) out of her Ch Kinsridge Sunflower, he showed off his jauntily carried tail with great flourish. The Junior Class provided the Bitch CC winner in Jill Stevenson’s BRICKIN DANCE AWAY; she is a full sister from a repeat mating of Ch Brickin Fly Away, being by Thachill Boltaway at Brickin out of Brickin Free To Roam. The dog RCC went to the JD winner, bred by Pat Broom, ROXWAY DIRECT LINE (Penorth Story Line at Roxway – Roxway Quickstep), he owned by Mr J C Mitchell, whose first Norfolk this is, although he has done well with Smooth Fox Terriers and Borzois. The bitch RCC went to Cathy Thompson-Morgan’s BELLEVILLE ANOTHER ANGEL, a b/t by Allright Aladin x Ch Belleville Another Smarti.
A long journey was faced by all Norfolk exhibitors to the SCOTTISH KENNEL CLUB show on Saturday 17th May, where Mrs Brenda Banbury was judging an entry of 32 Norfolk Terriers. Best of Breed and making the 3rd champion of the year, went to Mrs Beatrice Phillips & Mrs Kate Tate’s JAEVA FALLEN ANGEL; she was bred by Martin Phillips, a second champion for Ch Jaeva For Petes Sake out of Merauder Tik Tak, her previous CCs were won this year at Crufts (Mr Brian Baxter) and National Terrier (Mr Geoff Corish). Putting his first feet on the ladder with the dog CC was BELLEVILLE PREMONITION after two RCCs, Cathy Thompson-Morgan’s dog is by Ch Belleville Thunderstruck out of Belleville Rendition who was never shown – she also won the RCC in bitches with b&t BELLEVILLE ANOTHER ANGEL (Allright Aladin – Ch Belleville Another Smarti). JAEVA HOLY MOSES in the joint ownership of Mrs Beatrice Phillips & Andrew Gullick won the Dog RCC, bred by Martin Phillips he is by SA Ch Macsnest Nik The Kaluha at Collaton (imp) out of Jaeva Bit-Of-A-Bee. Best Puppy was Jill Stevenson’s dog puppy BRICKIN SMART DISGUISE (Brickin Smart Outlook – Brickin Naughty Nature).
THE NATIONAL SHOW is now held at Staffordshire County showground, Stafford; Norfolks were judged on the last day, Sunday 11th May by Mr Peter Green who drew an entry of 74, including 15 in Limit Bitch. It was a memorable day for Jackie Phillips and Jane Devereux when Jackie made up her first champion in black & tan VICHEA PICK AND MIX, who was also Best of Breed; she is also the first champion bred by Jane Devereux, by Ch Jaeva For Petes Sake out of Vichea Piquet Player; she had been Best in Show at the Jubilee Norfolk Championship Show under David Saltmarsh and her second ticket had been at LKA from Andrew Gullick. The dog CC was also a first such award for Mary Atkinson’s MOORTOP HOT ROLL, who is by Ch Jaeva Hotshot out of her Ch Moortop Hobson’s Choice. The dog RCC went to Jane Devereux with VICHEA CLEVER CLOGS, a half brother to V Pick And Mix, but by Ch/SA Ch Jaeva Dutch Courage. RCC in bitches went to Cathy Thompson-Morgan’s CH BELLEVILLE SWEETHEART, and Cathy also won Best Puppy with her young BELLEVILLE ROLL THE DICE, their breeding is given in the paragraph on WELKS.
WELKS on Friday 25th April had very nervous weather, and the organisers decided the ground was too wet underfoot outside, so we were judged by Mr Bryan Claydon in the spacious Hall 3 on blue carpet. Following winning CCs at National Terrier and our Jubilee Ch Club Show, AM CH CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION lived up to his name by winning his 3rd crowning challenge certificate with Best of Breed to give him his English title to go with his American one; later in the afternoon, handled by Peter Green he was 2nd in the Terrier Group under Judge Mr Bryn Cadogan. Dickie is the first Norfolk to do this feat since Ch/Am Ch Daffran Dusty – ie winning his American title before his English one, although several dogs have gone to further glory in the showrings of America from England. His details are below.
Cathy Thompson-Morgan’s had a good day, winning her 4th CC with her home bred CH BELLEVILLE SWEETHEART (Ch Belleville Smart Alec – Ch Belleville Sweet Cracker) and the Dog RCC with BELLEVILLE PREMONITION (Ch Belleville Thunderstruck – Belleville Rendition) and Best Puppy with BELLEVILLE ROLL THE DICE (Ch Belleville Rumour Nothing – Belleville Tumbling Dice). The RCC in bitches went to Jackie Phillips’ VICHEA PICK AND MIX (Ch Jaeva For Petes Sake out of Vichea Picquet Player).
The new show season starts with NATIONAL TERRIER, traditionally held on the first Saturday in April, the 5th this year. The judge of Norfolk Terriers was Mr Geoff Corish, and he chose for his Best of Breed the dog CC winner AM CH CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION, who had flown over from the USA, and was handled by Peter Green for the partnership owners, Pam Beale, Stephanie Ingram, Beth Sweigart and Elisabeth Matell; this combination had previously won the Dog CC at our Jubilee Championship Show last September; Dickie is sired by German-bred Am Ch Red Cherubim’s Summer Star out of Ch/Am Ch Cracknor Cause Celebre, the famous Coco. The bitch CC went to Mrs Beatrice Phillips & Mrs Kate Tate’s latest up and coming bitch, JAEVA FALLEN ANGEL, who repeated her Crufts triumph. Bred by Martin Phillips, she is by last year’s top winner Ch Jaeva For Petes Sake out of Merauder Tik Tak. Homebred dogs won the other awards - the RCC in dogs went to Cathy Thompson-Morgan’s junior, BELLEVILLE PREMONITION, who had been BP at Crufts, with the bitch RCC going to another from the Junior class, Jill Stevenson’s BRICKIN DANCE AWAY, her first such award; she is by Thachill Bolt Away at Brickin out or Brickin Free To Roam. Best puppy went to Diane Jenkins’ KINSRIDGE TOP DOLLAR, a dog by Kinsridge Jack Daniels ex Ch Kinsridge Sunflower.
Crufts is the show where all dogs have to qualify to enter, either by winning a Stud Book number that qualifies a dog for life, or by having been placed at a championship show the previous year. Our judge this year was Mr Brian Baxter and he drew an entry of 98 dogs with 23 absentees; judging starting at 8.30 in the morning which was a very early start for supporters as well as exhibitors. It was also the turn of the Terrier Group to be on the final day, Sunday 9th March when the crowds are the thickest, which makes for a very long tiring day.
Congratulations go to Cathy Thompson-Morgan who had a very good day winning the Dog CC and Best of Breed with CH BELLEVILLE RUMOUR NOTHING (Jalaska Warrior for Belleville x Ch B Sweet Nothings), his fourth CC, plus the reserve Bitch CC with CH BELLEVILLE SWEETHEART (Ch B Smart Alec – Ch B Sweet Cracker). She also won Best Puppy with BELLEVILLE PREMONITION, (Ch B Thunderstruck x B Rendition), they are all are home bred.
The bitch CC was a first CC for JAEVA FALLEN ANGEL by last year’s Crufts BoB, Ch Jaeva For Petes Sake out of Merauder Tik Tak, she is now in the ownership of Mrs Beatrice Phillips and Mrs Kate Tate, having been bred by Martin Phillips; she won from the Junior Class. The dog Reserve CC went to Mary Atkinson’s MOORTOP HOT ROLL, winner of the Limit Class, his first such award, he is by Ch Jaeva Hotshot out of her Ch Hobson’s Choice at Moortop.
