BREEDING CONSISTENCY
In five recent years, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022 Verdant produced the most AKC champion Norwich terriers in the USA. This is a measure of a kennels success in consistently breeding high quality dogs that meet conformation standards for a given breed. Unlike many breeders, for the most part, we and those who buy our dogs, put the championship titles on the dogs ourselves. Meaning we show against professionals who often have great influence with the judges. 2017 - 3 AKC champions (tied with 2 other breeders) 2018 - 8 AKC champions 2020 - 3 AKC champions (tied with 2 other breeders) 2021 - 7 AKC champions 2022 - 6 AKC champions 2023 - 6 AKC champions |
