Many thanks to Committee for the invitation to judge, one of my most favourite breeds, at this show. What a lovely entry, I enjoyed it immensely. We had a huge ring, so the dogs could really move. Thanks also to my two stewards, and all the exhibitors.

Eyes good size and dark brown , with appealing expression. Angles a little unbalanced at the moment, to be expected, due to growth. Moved well, when settled.

1. Copley-Holland. Mr&Mrs. Katabatics Bountyhunter, out of coat, but showing a good overall shape. He was grumpy today, but i went over him fine. Good top of head, but would prefer deeper muzzle. Dentition was hard to assess, but i think, okay. Strong slightly arched neck. Really good body proportions, with correct width to front, and good deep chest. Back strong and straight. Well developed rear with broad muscled thighs. Slight bend to stifles and low hocks. He excelled on movement, powering round the ring, waving his well set and carried tail.

2. Druce, Kaskae Hell of a View At Druxie (ai) really nice boy, just needs time. Really good bone, and everything where it should be, hard to fault. Good strong head, with correct proportions, proudly held. Body proportions and ratios correct. Let himself down on the move today. Excellent double coat.

O.D. 7 (1abs). What a superb class of outstanding dogs.
1. Jelfs. CH. Lapema Malizioso. He came and conquered! I did not remember judging this dog before, but was informed by his owner later in the day, that i judged him as a very young pup. Well, all I can say is, he has matured into a stunner, a really excellent example of the breed. Typical head, strong and powerful, with proud carriage. Held on strong neck with slight arch. Good strong bone throughout. Deep chest for plenty of lung room, straight back, well muscled broad thighs, broad low set hocks and correct large tight feet. Tail set on correctly and held like a waving plume. Super dense double coat. His movement was a complete joy, so in harmony with his handler. Pushing off with such power, propelling himself forward. Movement as it should be, to do the job they were bred for. Loved him. Later awarded CC and BEST OF BREED.
2. Loades. Mrs. Whitewalker’s Winter Snowolf, what a shame he left his clothes at home , another one out of the top draw, and I could not deny him his place. Certainly nothing was concealed!! A really super shape, excellent conformation throughout. Correct head which at first appeared lean, with such little coat. On inspection , perfectly proportioned, with really lovely set dark eyes. Excellent construction throughout, just what I look for. Moved well, with good drive from his well muscled hind quarters. Love to see him in coat!

Very different from 1st, but this takes nothing away from her. Very good construction throughout, with well balanced proportions, and good angulation. Lost out on movement today.

P.B. 2. (1abs).
1. Smith. Mrs & Miss, Snowshoes Sweet Symphony, absolutely super, lots of maturing to do of course, but the makings of a quality girl. She needs to develop more stop, to balance head correctly, otherwise head developing well. Good neck and shoulder placement, with correct front assemble. Rear angulation complements front. Which showed in her super movement. She powered round, showing great side gait, and waving her lovely plumed tail. Coat coming on well. Good prospect, and so pretty. Later, Best Puppy.

J.B. 2. 1(abs)
1. Druce. MissK&C & AITC, Kaskae Ooh La La Avec Druxie , this girl is at the stage where everything needs to come together and firm up. Head well proportioned, muzzle needs to deepen a little more. Ears held quite well, and nice dark eyes. Good strong neck, but slacking in back today, just needs to strengthen up. Reasonable angulation fore and aft. Tail tends to be held a little tightly. When she settled she moved quite well.

Good construction with correct angulation. Carrying tail a little tightly today, and moving rather erratically.
