Chesterfield Canine Society

Premier Open Show 2nd May 2026

Norfolk Terriers

I would like to thank the society for the invitation to judge. It was my first time at this show, and the great atmosphere was clearly evident for this hardworking society. Thank you to my stewards Hilary and Marcia.

Puppy (2,0a)

1st Gee’s Watercroft Sticky Affair – 10-month-old with feminine head, of good proportions with well set and placed ears, oval eyes with an excellent bite. Well balanced in outline, compact, strong with medium length of neck and good angulations fore and aft, with hocks well let down. On the move, once settled, she moved with good reach and drive. Her coat is a good texture. Not as settled in the challenge for BP.

2nd Gee’s Watercroft Jive Talking – 10-month-old with feminine head, with well set and placed ears and oval eyes. A shade more strength to her muzzle would benefit. Well balanced in outline, compact with medium length of neck. Angulations are good fore and aft and although she moved soundly, she did not have the reach and drive of 1. Her coat is a good texture.

Junior (2,0A)

1st Gee’s Watercroft Sticky Bud. 10-month-old, masculine, with head of good proportions, ears well set and placed, correct bite, and oval eyes. He is compact, strong, with a well-balanced outline, medium length of neck. His angulations are good fore and aft and his hocks are well let down. His chest filled my hand, with well sprung ribcage, he is well ribbed back and once settled he moved with reach and drive, very sound in all aspects. Good coat texture. Res Bob & Best Puppy.

2nd Tate & Wren’s Jaeva Finger on the Button. 14 months female, very pretty, with excellent bite, well set ears, a shade more strength in muzzle would benefit. She is compact, strong and balanced in outline. With medium length of neck. Her chest fills my hand and she has a well sprung ribcage that is well ribbed back. Her coat is a good texture. She was a little more interested in the new smells on the grass and was not as settled on the move, but the glimpse I did get, she moved well in front. A little more practice for the ring required.

Yearling (2, 2a)

Limit (3,1a)

1st Tate & Wren’s Jaeva on the Run. 2-year-old female, feminine and head of good proportions with oval eye and well-placed ears. She is balanced in her outline, compact and strong with her forechest filling my hand. She has a well sprung ribcage that is well ribbed back. Her angulations are good fore and aft with hocks well let down. When she settled, she moved with reach and drive. She wasn’t as enthusiastic in the challenge.

2nd Point’s Tinkave in the Groove with Belleville. 2-and-a-half-year-old male, masculine, with an excellent bite and oval eyes. His ears are well set and carried close to cheek but falling a shade lower than desired. His chest filled my hand with a good ribcage that is well ribbed back. He has a level topline, just would prefer him a little more compact. Angulations acceptable. Moved soundly behind. Coat of good texture.

Open (2,0a)

1st Gee’s Watercroft Time After Time. 18-month-old quality male, masculine with head of good proportions, with well set and placed ears, excellent bite and a good strength to his muzzle. His chest filled my hands with good angulations for and aft, with hocks well let down. He is balanced in outline, compact and strong. When he moved, he moved with reach and with great propulsion behind. Sound in all aspects. Coat of good texture. BOB and later went on to win second in the group,

2nd Wren’s Jaeva Strut Your Stuff. 3-and-a-half-year-old male. Masculine, with good head proportions, correct bite and oval eyes. He has neat ears, although right ear not quite settled. His chest filled my hand and he has acceptable angulations, a shade more lay of shoulder would benefit. He is balanced in outline , compact and strong, with well sprung ribcage. He moved well just a shade more drive behind would benefit. Good coat texture.
