ABOUT the Tebrun family
I had been looking for a smaller breed with enough character to fit in with my six Rottweilers, and after some time investigating various breeds I was introduced to Norwich Terriers. I was then fortunate enough to get my foundation bitch Bunty (Armagret First Love at Tebrun), who immediately settled into the Tebrun household without any problems, and in fact she very quickly ruled the roost. Ever seen a dog the size of a Norwich take a bone away from a Rottweiler?
Vulnerable breed
The Norwich Terrier has been declared a “vulnerable” breed by The Kennel Club. This is a sad situation for such a delightful breed, especially in its country of origin. Being aware of the small gene pool in the UK, I decided to import different bloodlines from America. First came Dealer, Ji-Ro’s Skyehawk over Tebrun, who was bred by a friend Mrs. Jill Rourke and Mrs. Debra Hinze. Then Raven, Arcadian Royal Parakonan at Tebrun followed. He was bred by Ms. Kathleen Wherley (previously: Attwood) and her daughter Emily. However, I did not want him to spend six months in quarantine (required at that time) so a friend, Mrs Ulla Gronlund (kennel Patchwork) who is a well respected and experienced breeder in Finland, offered to keep him for the quarantine period. While in Finland he sired some nice puppies for Ulla and he is now appearing in pedigrees in several European countries. Meanwhile, Ulla had obtained a Dealer son, Wickworth Lord Macintosh, from Mrs. Gillian Ford, so Dealer’s bloodlines are also being put to good use in Europe.

A Personal View
My personal view is that this British breed is in need of more experienced UK breeders considering it as a second if not main breed. Norwich Terriers make ideal companions and if you exhibit, then you will have already noticed that Norwich are frequently highly placed at group shows.
