Thank you for letting me assess what was a high standard of Malamutes. A lot out of coat especially the girls of course hiding nothing, mine at home are the same. Now to criticize. I started to count level bites which prevailed more in the males, I reached eight then gave up, one was undershot, I can forgive a little but on this occasion this was the most I had ever seen which worried me as this is very hard to eliminate, please watch for this in your breeding programs plus the standard asks for a scissor bite. A few upright in shoulder, some too short in loin this affecting movement dramatically with no reach or drive. Size and type varied bone too fine and a few short in leg. As always love the puppy classes and they did not disappoint, they are the future. Love veterans but only two in the boys I know we have more out there and at seven years they are not old. Would love big classes of veterans and in the bitches I encouraged the audience to clap them as a mark of respect.

1 Elliot & Campbell’s Hyteton Inbo Harvest Garner At Packice ShCM. Both in this class of around the same age and both to be admired for soundness and quality. I thought my first had the edge on topline and construction and so just out moved the other. Both in good coat and both used the ring to good advantage.
2 Loades Snowolf Canuck Bullit Sh.CM. Notes as above but just adding both these males had good bone and were of a good size i.e. length to height.

1 Mort’s Arcticbreeze Lady Imocara WOW this girl covered the ground so well for what is supposed to be a veteran which proves in this breed that mals are still relatively young at 7 or more. This is a quality bitch in good coat & well balanced, still up on her pasterns & still strong in hock she won this class on her soundness.
2 Thompson’s Chayo Northern Quest Another super girl a little more well up on leg than 1 but still in proportions & did not disappoint on the move. Not quite the coat of 1 but of good texture. She again is a quality bitch.
