A lovely 11 month old youngster who looked super in profile. Very nice head, eye shape and correct stop, slight but perceptible. Broad skull. Neat, well furred ears. Soft friendly expression and a super temperament. Strong neck and topline, correct short hocks well let down I loved this boys coat of correct length and texture and soft woolly undercoat. Good bone and substance He had good reach and drive and powered around the ring. Definitely one to watch.

2.Robbs Icewolf Los Angeles Lakers

At just shy of 12 months this youngster had a lovely headpiece Very expressive. Correct almond shaped eye, small triangular ears and correct slight stop. Good bone and substance Well set tail.

17 month old male who impressed for his overall balance, shape and condition. A young dog with everything as it should be for his age. Very pleasing, expressive headpiece.

Good arch of neck into well laid shoulder Nice straight legs with slight slope to pasterns Good breadth and depth to chest, slight slope to topline Tail well set. Short, strong, hocks which provided the power for this young male, Super coat texture, condition and he was presented in tip top competition. Well muscled all through.

What a handsome male in profile. Lots to like about this youngster at just over twelve months Super bone and substance. Good head proportions with ears well set and nice thick leather.

2 year old male with a masculine yet very pleasing headpiece. Broad skull and muzzle good eye shape and colour. Presented in firm, well toned condition. Moderate bone, substance and angulation. Nice tight feet. He moved with plenty of power around the ring.

3.Thompsons Northern Star Illa Kuvianartok (IMP POL)

I loved this seal and white male of 4 years. He has lovely breed type and balance Beautiful headpiece with darkest of eyes. Well furred triangular ears with black pigment throughout.

Good breadth and depth of chest. Unfortunately, I could not assess the rear as he was a fidget, but from eye he had very good substance and well let down hocks. Would like to see this male shown a lot more giving him the confidence to show at his best as I was very taken with him.

Limit Dog (2)

I very much liked both of these males albeit of very different types. They could easily swap places on any given day. I’m not sure if it was the heat from the day but they did not provide the reach and drive that I know both of these dogs are capable of. It was very much dog on the day today.

1.Innes’Icycool Atomic (ai)

Such a nice profile on this boy giving the appearance of substance, bone and power in profile. A very balanced picture. Good width to skull and muzzle. Well placed, well furred ears, eyes harmonising with his sable coat colour. Correct topline and tail set. Nice feet. Rythmic gait.

2.Palasinkas Anson Del Biagio ( IMP ITA )

I like this dog a lot He is not a flashy dog but he is a very well balanced and honest dog, what you see is what you get. Very correct head with balanced features, slight stop god eye shape and set. I would prefer a slightly darker eye to complete the picture. Good height to length proportions balanced angles fore and aft. Well set and carried tail. This boy can move but he just didn’t give his best in the class today. However, he was later shown in the Specials classes and stakes classes, which were held indoors due to the rain, and he was like a different dog on the move. He was foot perfect showing reach and drive. More of this please. Best Import. Best Stud Dog.

Open Dog (4,2a)

1.Anderton-Tyers’ Articrainbow Viva Las Vegas at Flintsky

6 year old grey and white male of super substance He had a super coat and he was excellently presented. Very nice head and expression. Slightly sloping topline, tight feet. Class winner was just a little more fluid on the move.

2. Blaneys Viking Fenrir Kin of Kiyaras Wolf Pack ( IMP DEU ) ShCEx VW

This boy exudes power on the move and could quite easily work all day I’m sure He has a super personality and really made his handler work hard to contain his energy. Plenty of bone and substance, very good coat texture and large feet. Excellent tail which waved constantly. Broad skull nice thick ear leather and well toned all through.

Special Vetran ( 10 Years and Over )(3,2a)

1.Jarvis Brown and Packhams Icetrax Red Diesel

At 4 days short of 12 years of age this red and white male came for a fun day out, he most certainly did not show his age and gave his handler no easy task. He has a broad skull with medium sized ears which were well furred, good eye shape and set with eye colour harmonising with coat. Slight slope to topline. Well set and carried tail Moderate bone and angulation. Good coat texture. It was a joy to judge him for his last show as he was just such a super character. Thank you for bringing him.

Thank you to all of the committee for the invitation to judge our Club show and for looking after me on the day Also as a foot note I would like to thank all of the exhibitors for bringing their super dogs for me to judge It really was an honour for me and I would just like to add that all dogs presented had super temperaments
