NORFOLK TERRIER CLUB OF GREAT BRITAIN OPEN

2ND DECEMBER 2007

Judge: Dorothy Dorkins

6-11 years

1. Chloe Horne, A very promising handler, very good table work and moves her charge at just the right speed. Don’t forget to present the dog to the judge after moving by standing your dog about 2 yards from the judge. In the challenge for Best Junior Handler your dog started to pay up and you panicked a bit. Just relax and calmly settle your dog again. If you are calm and relaxed your dog will respond. Well done Chloe you have a natural talent and confidence will come in time.

2. Felicity Newman, Worked hard to get the best from her dog. Moved her dog at the right speed and presented the dog well on the floor. Table work needs some practise and try not to let the lead dangle.

3. Lydia Smith, Did very well with a young puppy, presenting her well on the table and moved her well. You need to make sure your dog is standing well when the judge is looking down the line.

12-16 years

1. Ellie Smith, Also handling the young puppy, in her confident hands showed really well. Very nice table presentation, moved just right. You are a calm and relaxed handler that can get the best out of a dog without rushing it. That’s what won you Best Junior Handler. Well Done.
