Norfolk & Norwich Canine Society

I would like to thank the commitee of the Norfolk and Norwich Canine Society giving me the opportunity to judge some Gundog breeds at their open show on 26th August 2026. A great show ground with well sized rings for Gundog breeds and very well organised.

I was really impressed of the quality in some of the breeds I had judged and wished there were more classes to be able to give more first places as some dogs really deserved it.

 Very delighted to see that my BOB in English Springers won the group and three other breeds I judged were placed as well. Also my best puppy in Goldens gained the last point for the juniour warrant and was placed third in puppy group.

A big thank you goes to my steward Hilary, as well as to Alice who joined us later and supported as a second steward.

I was very happy with my entry numbers and just a few absentees and would like to thank everyone who entered under me.
