As I have previously mentioned, my mother-in-law breeds Norwich Terriers and shows them at various dog shows including the rather famous Crufts. Since James & I got together, we have been attending Crufts for one day a year and doing a stint on the Discover Dogs stand, which is somewhere people come to look at different types of dogs, and find out more information about the various breeds. Last year we were excused from our yearly task as I was nearly 8 months pregnant, but we were back on the job this year, complete with our 10 month old monster!
Rather excitingly a Norwich Terrier got Best in Group for the Terrier Group, and it was bred by one of Ruth’s friends – this is great news for the breed, which is a vulnerable one & needs more recognition. Unfortunately little Paris didn’t get Best in Show, but he would have won the “people’s choice” if there was one, if the general raving over on twitter is anything to go by!
