I would like to thank the Committee and officers of the club for the invitation to Judge at sunny Bournemouth. It’s not always easy to judge your own breed in a place where you show yourself so often but all the exhibitors took my decisions well and created a lovely athmosphere both in and around the ring. I would like to thank them for their entries and the long distance most of them had to travel. I would like to commend the Alaskan Malamute breeders of the Uk for the work they have put in to keep our breed both looking and moving like a working dog. I had many dogs in super hard condition and moving with good reach and drive. My concern would be that I also had a few dogs long in body which affected their toplines both stood and on the move. Over all I was very pleased with my entry and enjoyed my day judging.
