1st          Howlett’s Ch Tiksi Snowfire ShCM Two typey litter sisters, both well made with good heads and pigment. Feminine all through. Both without their full coats and both moving well with lovely tail carriages.

The winner was just a little shorter in back and was a little straighter coming on. BOB & Group 2

2nd        Howlett’s Tiksi Snowstorm

Siberian Husky

Junior (2,1a)

1st          Simm’ Snowmist’s Isaac (Imp Can). What a super young man. Lovely shape and outline. Typey head with good ears & dark eye. Excels in conformation fore and aft with correct depth of chest and a nice forechest giving plenty heart and lung room. Lovely rear angles, correct turn of stifle, level topline, good tail set & carriage and a nice coat. True coming and going with a lovely driving action. So good he had to have BOB & BP. Thrilled to hear he won Group 3 and Puppy Group 1 then so nice to watch him go Best Puppy In Show.

Good length of back to a well-made and well muscled rear with a good bend of stifle. Tail well set and carried straight. True coming and going, drives well. RBOB

1st          Simm’s Berry Uola at Arcticskies (Imp LTU).  A nice 3yr B, well made but carrying a few extra pounds today and not in the best of coats at the moment.  Super rear end and moves out well.

Gundog  Group

GP 1     Stuckey’s Sh Ch Medogold Coralie of Pendan JW ShCM – Pointer. I have done this B well in the past and the only difference now is she is more mature. Super type, classic head, so well made, full of graceful curves and such a stylish mover. Pushed hard by the GSP but won through on her movement.

GP 2     Smith & Reardon’s Winterwell Fowl Play – German Shorthaired Pointer.  Another quality specimine but one I have not had the pleasure of before. Masculine head of good proportions, lovely shape and well made. Was somewhat distracted today which affected him on the move.

GP 4     Elliott’s Winsleywood Wild Joker of Lyndham - Labrador Retriever. Another D that was unsettled today. As big as I would want but well made and good shape.
