Nan & Mark have had Norwich in their lives for as long as they have been together. At 13 years old, Nancy acquired her foundation dog, Chidley Cardinal, from the renown Mrs. Joan Read of Long Island, NY. (Photo: Cardi Breed.jpeg)
Cardinal was sired by Ch. Jericho's Ringleader, widely cited as one of the most celebrated stud dogs in the UK. When Nan went to college in 1981, 'Cardi' went along. (Photo: Cardinal.jpeg)
And, by the time Mark first visited Nancy's college apartment in 1984, there were a litter of four Norwich puppies in the kitchen. (Photo: Mark & Boo.jpeg)
Mark & Nan married in 1987 and honeymooned in England. After a week away from her dogs, Nancy was more than eager to accept the hospitality of Madam Shiela Monckton, breeder of the Jericho Norwich line, at her home, Stretton Hall, in Staffordshire, UK.
It is fitting that our first Norwich Terrier Champion from the Bred by Exibitor classes is
Ch. Beric's Ringleader, seven generations decended from his Jericho namesake. (Photo: Ringleader 1.jpeg)
Beric Downs is located on 15 wooded acres near the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. This ideal environment for raising and socializing Norwich Terriers, is also home to a growing contingent of Saint Bernards. (photo: Nap Dog.jpeg)
Nancy & her parents (Dick & Bev Nosiglia Beric Kennel) have been breeding and showing Saints since 1967.

"The Norwich by virtue of his character and temperament is a great companion. Given the opportunity, they make splendid workers whether killing rats or going to ground for rabbits, fox or badger.
....It is hoped that they never lose this side of their character."

"...Powerful, proportionately tall figure, strong and muscular in every part, with powerful head and most intelligent expression. In dogs with a dark mask the expression appears more stern, but never ill-natured."
