Ronnie & Vera McKenna's Normbar Keane at Carrmyers (Sire: Sh Ch Normbar Valhalle - Dam:  Sh Ch Normbar Stella Artois) has numerous first at Championship and Open Shows and has turned out to be an excellent worker.

Elaine and Graham Turnbull's Normbar Molly Malone at Elagram (Sire: Sh Ch Normbar Valhalle - Dam:  Sh Ch Normbar Stella Artois) started her show career in style with numerous firsts at Championship Shows with three Best Puppy in Breed awards.

Tony & Maureen Taylor's Sh Ch Normbar Coleen of  Maursett (Sire: Sh Ch Normbar Valhalle - Dam:  Sh Ch Normbar Stella Artois), has been lightly shown but made her mark in the Show Ring, picking up the CC at Richmond Championship Show under the breed specialist judge, Miss Sharon Pinkerton.  She has gone on to pick up the CC at Crufts in 2004 and gained her title at the  Gundog Society of Wales Championship show later in the same year, a matter of weeks after her first litter of 10 puppies (which produced my own Sh Ch Maursett Marelda via Normbar).

The following year saw her taking Junior Classes, including Crufts and good deal of success followed as she moved up into the Post Graduate classes, consistently performing well against dogs much older than her.  In addition to the show ring, she has also hunted well and had a number of successful blind retrieves on pheasants in 2007 (during which she has already won 6 Post Graduate bitch classes, 2 Challenge Certificates and 2 Reserve Challenge Certificates).

Sharon Pinkerton's Bareve Bila-Shaka (Sire: Sh Ch Normbar Valhalle - Dam: Sh Ch Bareve Bukavo JW) has a number of Championship show Best Puppy awards and has won first prize in puppy, junior and post graduate classes.
