Norwegian National Show 2001

This show was held in Stavanger 27-28th of October. 700 birds were shown and 61 were Dutch bantams. Three breeders showed Dutch Bantams; Jonas Gjerstad (Blue Partridge, Partridge and Silver), Per Steinar Myklebust (Partridge, Blue Partridge, Red Shouldered White, Cuckoo, Cuckoo Partridge, Yellow Partridge, Silver and Black) and I (Cuckoo and Cuckoo Partridge).

Below is a presentation of the birds that I showed with the points and the comments from the judge (Willy Littau). All of the birds are from this year hatch.
