Amblegreen's Norwich Terriers
Photo taken on October 7, 2006 - Heather & Flint at the Devon Dog Show in Pennsylvania. The Norwich Terrier is one of the smallest terriers in size, with the ideal height not exceeding 10 inches at the withers. Although he/she may be small in size you can expect a happy, affectionate companion who is game for anything. The Norwich is a real terrier in spirit but without the quarrelsome nature. They are very people oriented and do best in homes where they are allowed to be under foot. Generally, they have small litters and you can expect to wait quite a while for 'your' puppy. The arrival of our first Norwich in 2001 was the beginning of a new era at Amblegreen. Our first Norwich Terriers made the long journey from the Netherlands, and we are indebted to Birgit Sievers (of the Wild Witches) for entrusting them to us. In August 2004, we were lucky to add another Norwich to our crew...Windsor's Repeat Offender (aka Flint) from California. Our Links page can provide you with a few other Norwich breeders
who are related to ours and we encourage you to check out their
sites as well. Our Stud Dogs: Our boys are available on a limited basis to girls who have had their hips OFA tested good or excellent, patellas normal and eyes clear. We set a
limit of four girls a year per boy so if you are interested please
contact us early...
Hoodoo's name
means to cast black magic or spells in one of the African languages.
He is a wonderful ambassador to the breed and everyone he meets
becomes a 'fan'.
#2 Norwich in Canada for 2005 & #4 in 2006 - with limited showing and always owner handled or handled by my dear friend, Cyndy!! Way to go Flint. Also qualified to compete at the Eukanuba Dog Show December 2006 in Long Beach, California! We would like to thank Dori and Phil Ramon (California) for parting with this outstanding boy. Flint, as he called has a real 'hey look at me attitude', and is forward and up. He has great head and bone, but considering his pedigree this is not surprising. Flint's older Brother - Windsor's Mumms the Word (Brut) has had an outstanding show career including being the Westminster 2003 BOB winner. Flint has a zest for life that is quite
amazing. Hiis confidence and natural ability is
wonderful to see. His pedigree offers a nice outcross to our girls and we
are sure he will make a valuable contribution to our breeding
program. He has now Sired a couple of litters for us
and friends and
we are very pleased with his kids...
2005 (results in Canada) -
Finished # 2 in Canada 2006 (results in Canada) - Finished
#4 in Canada Presently - We are focusing on some Earth dog events, and lots of relaxing for Flint. We have been enjoying watching and cheering on some of his lovely kids. Congratulations to all of them and continued success in the show ring...
Our Girls :
Here she is!! This is "Boo" and we can't Thank Dianne and Ray enough for entrusting her to us. It is said that if you are lucky enough "a dog that makes you smile and 'fills' your eye will come along every now and then". I have been lucky in my life to own a few of 'these' dogs...of my JRT's - Raglan (14 1/2) & Stitch (10) . But, Flint fills me with such awe every time I look at him, and now little Boo has me beaming like a crazy woman! If a dog was to be my 'sidekick' it would be Boo. She is never far from my side and always has a way of squeezing herself into every occasion... She is a delightful girl with a wonderful attitude. Her infectious love of life makes her a joy to be around. We are so thrilled that we have Boo's lovely daughter Barbie...sadly Boo has been spayed due to complications. Her job now will be keeping the other Norwich in line and acting as the house 'granny' to our pups... 2006 Results (in Canada) - Group
and Puppy in Group winner.
2006 Results (in the US) - Winners Bitch 2 of 4 days including 1st major. 2007 Results (in the US) - This year we decided to do the entire Montana circuit in June. It was a lot of fun even though it was warm and we had to move show sites three times. Boo really did great picking up two more 3 point Majors and a Best of Breed one day. She finished on the first day of the the Nisqually KC Show with a 4 point Major and we couldn't be prouder...not bad for a girl who had her litter the end of February!! She also went Best Opposite Sex the next day and definitely enjoyed strutting her stuff.
Her Daughter....
*Caper finished 2007
as the #1 Norwich bitch in Canada and #2 overall! 'Caper' is the daughter of Flint and Pecan, and is a lovely combination of them both. She has great bone and lots of angulation for a little bitch, and her attitude is outstanding. Always upbeat and happy she has been so much fun to show. I'm sure in the future we will enjoy doing performance events as well. We are pleased to announce the arrival on February 4th, 2008 of Caper's first litter. She free whelped 3 lovely pups by Am/Can Ch. Maralinga Johnny Be Good. Watch for updates! Show highlights include: 2006 Results (in
Canada) - numerous Best Puppy in Group wins, including Best
Puppy in Specialty Show/Group at the large LMDF Tradex weekend.
This was a wonderful win with many outstanding puppies competing.
This show ended her puppy career and we are so Proud of her many
Puppy in Group wins. It also was the weekend where
she finished her Canadian Championship 2007 Results (in Canada) - Caper had a wonderful "Specials" career earning two Group 1's as well as numerous other group placements. Thanks to Judges - Michael Shoreman and also Isidro Castro for these lovely Group 1 wins. Special Thanks to my dear friend Cyndy for handling Caper that weekend!! As mentioned above she finished the year #1 Norwich Bitch and # 2 overall with limited showing. 2007 Results (in the US) - Caper finished her American Championshp in style at the Montana circuit. She went WB/BOW and BOB the first day for a 3 point major. She also went BOB the remaining four days I showed her - what a wonderful terrier who always shows her heart out for me. Caper has picked up numerous Best of Opposite wins in the US since finishing and we are so pleased with how she is doing.
Her Daughter....
OTHER Terriers ... Below you will see other terriers who are important to us but do not share our home. They will represent bloodlines which we do not want to lose. It is not always possible to keep each and every terrier and give them all the Love they deserve. When a wonderful home comes along that is close by and allows us to still be involved with them we will sometimes do that.
Amblegreen Windsor Uptown Girl Black & Tan, DOB 11/30/06
Tart at 4 1/2 months
We are so pleased to 'show off' Tart!! We would like to Thank Dori & Phil for letting Tart be part of our 'gang'. She is the grand-daughter to our first two Norwich - Hoodoo & Mona so she definitely has a soft spot in our hearts :-) Her Sire "Tucker" is a very nice terrier and we are so pleased to have his bloodlines in our kennel! Tart with Santa - just over one year !! Amblegreen Wickedly Perrydale Red , DOB
02/17/08 Owners: Susan and David Perry -
Perrydale
We are so pleased to introduce "Toopy" - daughter of Wicca. It will be nice to go on with the family lines through this spunky adorable girl. We wish Susan and David lots of fun in this new foray for them! This is a puppy who knows no strangers and is always up for anything.
Retired Norwich: Because we like to enjoy our terriers, and have them as part of the family in our home, it sometimes becomes necessary to make the difficult decision of parting with one. Other times it might be one of our girls, whom we have a daughter to go on with, so now they can be a 'one and only' to someone special. It is never easy parting with them but hard to move forward without doing this occasionally. If you might be interested in an healthy young adult (usually 3 or 4 years of age) please let us know. They would be crate trained, leash broke, house broke - so all the hard work is done!!
