CRUFTS 2023

CRUFTS 2023

Held on Friday 10th March 2023

At The NEC, Birmingham

Judge: Mrs Jill Stevenson (Brickin)

I was very sad to actually miss this year’s judging at Crufts – Jill Stevenson bred my dog so I clearly could not enter under her, but I was fully intending to do two stints on Discover Dogs and have a peek at the Norfolk judging at some point during the morning.  Sadly, COVID (yes, I thought it was in the past too!) struck again and I tested positive on the Thursday so I couldn’t attend at all!!!     It was very frustrating to have to just see it all on the TV, as Crufts is still a marvellous experience no matter how often you go.   

I was not at all surprised to learn that The Norfolk Terrier Club Stand, managed so brilliantly by Gina and Dorothy Dorkins, yet again took the First Prize for the Best Club Stand in the Terrier Group, an amazing seventh year in a row, so huge congratulations to them both – it really is a no brainer when you go round the other Club Stands!

 

In the show ring, Jill had a good entry of 24 dogs (27 entries) and 31 bitches (32 entries).  There were very few absentees, 1 dog and 6 bitches.    Congratulations to all the winners, it was another fantastic year for Ruth Gee, whose Watercroft kennel once again very nearly had a clean sweep of the main awards!
