I have mentioned tail carriage so much in this report as I feel correct tails are an important feature of the breed. To quote the KC Standard: (Not tightly curled to rest on the back, but giving the appearance of a waving plume). Far too many exhibits had tails much too tight.

MPD (3,1)
1 Smith & Smith’s Snowshoes Noble One. Just loved this gorgeous baby, he has a lovely head and dark eyes, good ear set too, so well made and such lovely balance, super coat, condition and tail and very good on the move, just needs to grow on as everything is there. BP and PG4.
2 Dolan & Dolan’s Siskara Bohemian Rhapsody. This boy is much bigger than the winner and has a lovely head, decent in shape and outline, carrying too much weight which did affect his topline, careless with his tail at times but a decent mover.

PD (3)
1 Page’s Snow Legend Believe In You Cedarcreek (Imp Rus). Liked the head and expression on this dog. Touch straight in angulation but a good sound mover, lovely neck and topline, lovely coat, decent tail.
2 Woodgate’s Snowshoes Ring Presence. Not quite the extension on the move, decent head, lovely coat and condition, uses his tail well but a touch tight.
3 Dolan & Dolan’s Siskara Bohemian Rhapsody.

1 Murray’s Snowmischief Burning Love. Quite a nice head but eyes could be darker, tends to pace and moves close behind.
2 Holt’s Freezefactor Tis The Season At Breconfrost. This boy is of nice type but paced the whole time and tail is much too tight.

LD (3,1)
1 Blaney’s Viking Fenrir Kin Of Kiyara’s Wolf Pak (Imp). Very powerful boy and despite being a touch upright in front is still a strong reachy mover, liked his his, lovely body with a super coat, decent tail.
2 Anderson’s CHerubini Atene Cinquale. This black is from a smaller mould and not in his best bib and tucker, turns his feet in coming towards, could use a darker eye and his tail is much too tight.

1 Ellis’ Chayo Cause Celebre. Immaculate presentation on this boy, liked his head and lovely dark eyes, so well put together, so he is good to go over, very typical in outline, still only young so can still mature on, comes into his own on the move, sound, fluid and foot perfect. Won CC, BOB and G2, well done.
2 Smith & Smith’s Mlt Ch Ivram Bradliey Your The One At Snowshoes ShCM. Liked this boy very much too, such a pleasing head on a super neck, lovely front, excellent body, coat and outline, strong, powerful mover, can at times drop his topline, super presentation. Won Res CC.

PB (8,2)

2 Mogg’s Skidooshooz Time To Shine (AI). This puppy is very forward in body and coat, thought she could be my winner, lovely head and so well made, so well presented too, very good mover, tail just too tight on the move.
3 Robb & Robb’s Icewolf Jupiter Rising.

JB (5,1)
1 Smith & Smith’s Snowshoes Sliver Lining. Outstanding for coat and presentation, such a lovely head, eyes could be a touch darker but minimal, ideal in outline with a crested neck, she has lovely bone for her size and super hindquarters, she is so sound and uses herself well going round.

LB (7)
1 Smith & Smith’s Snowshoes The White Witch. Another super quality beautifully presented exhibit from this kennel. Lovely head, eye and ears, reachy neck, super front, super rear, lovely body and excellent balance to her outline, sound, easy mover and holds her outline going round. Won CC, well done.
2 John’s Cristakell April Showers At Chardicea. Liked this girl very much too. So pleasing in head but eyes could be that bit darker, so well constructed, very well off for bone and a very precise mover, has a good tail too!
