My thanks to the exhibitors for entering under me, for my 1st CC appointment. I really enjoyed my day, and my thanks to my two stewards that kept the ring flowing throughout the day. I was thankful that we were able to open up the ring to enable the dogs to move out. I think Malamutes are in a very good position at the moment, with some nice youngsters coming through as well.
