A well run show, my thanks to my stewards who ran the ring so smoothly. Big thank you to exhibitors for their entries, I thoroughly enjoyed going over your dogs.

Puppy Dog
1ST Snowshoes Top Notch Twister (Miss A Bogle). Pleasing head and expression, masculine but with nothing over done. Development as I would expect for his age. Moving soundly, but yet to gin strength and purpose in terms of reach and drive. Good quarters with well carried plume. Plenty of promise for the future. BPIB BSBIB

Post Graduate Dog
1ST Kaskae Show Me The Monet avec Keighanya (Mrs V L & Mr N A Partridge-Bebb). Upstanding but with good proportions. His head is masculine if slightly heavier than is my personal preference. He has a good ear. Correct angulation front and rear and with a correctly sloping topline. Moved well once he got into his stride.

Limit Dog
1ST Katabatics Hardcore Hevy at Flintsky (Mrs M R & Mr T R Anderton-Tyers). Somewhat rangy, but with a pleasing head and expression and a good deep chest. I liked his correct sloping topline and he was shown in hard condition which gave him the edge as he out moved his completion today, with an easy, long ground covering stride pleasing tail carriage. His feet could be more compact.
2ND Cedarcreek The Only Way Is Up (Mr A & Mrs L & Mrs M Burgess & Burgess & Page). Loved this lads head and expression. Good for size and well balanced with a correct topline. Standing he was my winner but couldn’t match the winner on the move today.

Open Dog
1ST Chayo One in A Billion (Mrs S Ellis-Payne). Strong and masculine with a good outline and correct weight of bone for his build. His head and expression are good although on the side of being just slightly heavy. However, he has a good spring of rib and excellent depth to his chest adding to his excellent front conformation. Correct topline and good plume well carried rear angulation is totally balanced giving him a good strong, ground covering stride with plenty of reach and drive. In front and side action he is exactly what I look for, behind he is strong but on occasion somewhat untidy. DCC pleased to hear it was his third so he gained his title on the day.
2ND Snow Legend Zenith of Fame Nordicwinds JW ShCEx OSW (Imp Rus) (Ms J Phoenix). Lighter in frame and bone than above but he is balanced and nicely angulated. Moved soundly and covered the ground well. His muzzle was finer than is my preference and somewhat tapered but other iwse his hed is pleasing in ear eye placement.

Veteran Dog
1ST Multi Ch The Magician Uniroyal (Mr F Tozzi). Lovely masculine, correct head and expression. Nicely angulated, with good weight of bone for size. Pleasing topline and moving soundly but with a shorter stride pattern and not the reach and drive of the CC winner, however, pleased to find him well worthy of RCC & BV.
2ND Dreamwolves Just A Lil Crush (Ms L E & Miss S Whittaker & Wolfe). Loved this boy’s proportions, most pleasing head and expression. Good sloping topline and a correctly proportioned body. Movement was ok but not quite the precision of the winner.

Puppy Bitch
1ST Orsamals Juste Ma Petite Chi avec Tundrabears (Ms L Whittaker). 11mth old and won here on maturity and confidence. Totally out of coat today but hiding nothing. Nicely balanced and moving soundly with a long easy stride pattern.
2ND Lapema Nevr Trust The Living (Mrs K L Jelfs). A real baby who hasn’t yet got the confidence or ring experience to show off her many attributes as yet. Very developmental in head at present but nicely constructed and showing promise for the future.

Junior Bitch
1ST Chayo Aurelia (Mrs S Ellis-Payne). A beautiful young lady just out of puppy. Absolutely correct for her age. Loved her for her excellent type, size and conformation. She has good movement with a long easy stride pattern which will strengthen further as she matures and gains full muscle. Already in my contention for greens but today in the final anaylsis she had to give way to maturity. Well handled.

Limit Bitch
1ST Powderhound’s Sparks Will Fly at Amaqqut (Imp Usa) (Mr & Mrs J Sheehan). Feminine with good head and expression. Well constructed with correct angulation and moving to show it off with a long economical stride.

Open Bitch
1ST Ch Mazurstar Mamba Berry Jww23 Ew24 Ww24 (F Zettin). My star of the day. She stood away. Without doubt the best for head in this entry, meeting the standard in all respects. Ideal for size and beautifully balanced throughout with correct topline and lovely carriage of her plume on the move. Moderately angulated as the standard calls for. On the move she showed her really strength with reach and drive so balanced and precise and so strong as to allow her to match the bigger dog for speed in the challenge for BOB, yet made it look so easy and effortless. A deceptively long stride which could go all day, both rhymic and tireless. BCC BOB Pleasing to note she was WG4 later.
2ND Ch The Magician Bloody Mary Cedarcreek (Imp Ita) (Mr P & Mrs M Page). Another quality bitch with so much to her credit. Beautifully feminine yet still strong and powerful. Well balanced and soundly constructed. Moving out well in all directions. A most worthy Ch. RCC
