Took a bit of time to settle but excellent reach and drive when he did, well muscled. 2 Porritt's Skimarque Winter Frost At Blizzardrun. Not as together as first and out of coat, so looked on the thinner end of the standard. Presented a nice headpiece and sweet expression. Angulation ok and showed good steady movement, just not quite the drive of first. Still a youngster, so some maturing to do. 3 Beirne's Penkhalas Kansa Kid.

Well muscled and moved with ease. 3 Marvin's Ch Northtrail Son Of Anarchy JW.

BIRMINGHAM NATIONAL - 2016

SIBERIAN HUSKY

Thanks for a good entry for a weekday show. It was an interesting entry and posed some challenges. The hardest part of judging is undoubtedly the compromise when decisions have to be made between dogs that possess many virtues but in some respects deviate from the ideal that we look for. One example of this is the dog that is pleasing in conformation and movement but is plain in the head - a plain head may be forgiven if the dog is otherwise excellent, but I have to say that I did see some heads that were disturbingly untypical. It could be argued that a dog does not run with its head, but when we judge we are judging the dogs as a breed and not just as a sled dog. It has been said by others that "if you lose the head you lose the breed" and I agree with this; without correct head type a dog of any breed is just another dog, and in an arctic breed there are certain characteristics of the head that help the dog to function in its natural environment. There were quite a few dogs present who didn't seem to appreciate the floor, which although was flat and made of concrete had some lines crossing it and some dark patches which some dogs found off-putting. Others possibly didn't like the feel of the floor, as the movement of many was not as good as I would have expected. The hall was also very noisy, which I do feel was off-putting to some. Presentation left something to be desired in some cases - going over some dogs left my hands in a filthy state, and while appreciating that getting the dogs out for a run may be more important than giving them a bath, just a good wash down and towel dry does not take as long as a bath but removes the odour and/or dirty feel from the coat. I was happy with the line ups and both sexes had several contenders for the CC, despite some of them having hardly any coat, which is quite normal at this time of year and something that can be forgiven. I was very proud to see how well both my BOB/BV and BP represented the breed in their respective groups, both performing faultlessly. Interestingly their performance and movement was better on the carpeted surface of the group ring than on the concrete of the breed ring. After judging when looking at the breeding of the winners I found it interesting that my BCC, Dog RCC, GB, LB were all sired by dogs I previously awarded CCs to and my DCC/BOB was the sire of both puppy winners.
MPD (2) 1 Pass & Mckay's Arctictrek's Milky Bar Kid. Red/white piebald, blue eyes, aged just 7 months, rather unsettled and very much a baby not quite sure of what was expected. Everything about him still has much developing to do but has the correct proportions and angulation to suggest it will all go in the right direction. Much preferred his head over the Second as he has higher set ears, the correct almond shaped obliquely set eyes and pleasing expression. 2 Squires' Onyagohs Joe. Grey/white, brown eyes, another baby of similar age to the first. Moving in profile his front movement was steadier than the first but as most puppies of this age he is still quite loose when viewed coming towards. As with the first, still developing and no doubt will mature into a good working dog however I did not find his head pleasing at this stage.
PD (5,2) 1 Luxmoore & Luxmoore-Ball's Hushwing Kung Fu Panda. Grey/white piebald (with the odd speckle of tan), blue eyes. Lovely head, correct earset, expression mischievous yet friendly. Well balanced, well laid shoulders, good topline which he held nicely on the move, slight arch over loin and slope to croup with correct bend of stifle and length of second thigh to give him the necessary drive when moving. As expected, much tidier on the move than the two minor puppies, BPD. 2 Pass & McKay's Arctictrek's Milky Bar Kid. 3 Squires' Onyagohs Joe.
JD (3) Not much to separate the two boys in this class, both just under 18 months old and at a similar stage in their development. 1 Barry & Grisbrooke's Azgard Glock. Grey/white, brown eyes. Excellent proportions with good angulation and topline, good feet and pasterns, beat the second on his overall balance and was slightly better in upper arm giving him a little more front extension but this was really splitting hairs. 2 Cunningham's Icebex Show Me The Money. Grey/white, brown eyes, attractive head and expression, high set ears, slightly preferred his head over the first. Good feet and pasterns, correct rear angulation and tail carriage, will probably change places with the first on many occasions.
GD (3) 1 Wooliscroft's Zarchenski Endurance. Black/white, bi-eyed - monochromatic and with unusual markings especially on his head that give a look that is slightly different from what is usually seen in the show ring - however all colours and markings are acceptable and therefore he fits the standard, behind the markings his head is of the right proportions and he has the desired almond shaped eyes. Ideal angulation and balance, excellent topline, slight arch over loin and slope to croup, plush coat, he presented a lovely outline when standing and he moved freely and easily. An athletic dog carrying firm muscle, wish he was on my team. 2 Amphlett's Sybasprinter Buick Mckane. Grey/white, blue eyes, smaller and slightly more compact than the winner. He was rather unsettled and not really co-operating with his handler. Attractive head with almond shaped eyes, good balance and angulation, moved OK once he settled. 3 Porritt's Skimarque Winter Frost At Blizzardrun.
PGD (4) 1 Wakker's Zarchenski Mist A Zeehond At Ceannabeinne. Black/white, brown eyes, litter brother to the winner of GD with similar monochromatic colouring and plush coat. Pleasing head and expression with almond shaped eyes and good earset, great outline and angulation, super topline, slight arch over the loin and sloping croup. Moved well viewed from any angle, he is another well muscled and athletic dog who looks like he would be an asset on any team. 2 Leich, Leich & Koops' Forstal's Tuff. Wolf grey/white, brown eyes. Good head and expression, almond shaped eyes, correct angulation front and rear, correct feet and pasterns, well balanced athletic looking outline, firm muscle, moved with a smooth stride. 3 Spruce's Mysticwolf Howl At The Moon.
LD (6,2) 1 Hannam's Charoite Raven's Brew. Pale grey/white, brown eyes, his head is well shaped but today he was trying to listen to every noise from everywhere so getting his ears up was a task - he managed it eventually! This boy has one of the best fronts you could wish for with ideal angulation and length of shoulder and upper arm, he has a firm level topline, the desired arch over the loin and slope to croup. Ideal size, outline and proportions, exceptionally well-muscled and athletic. Gave his handler a bit of a hard time but once he settled on the move he had the most wonderful effortless stride, RCC. 2 James' Amical Kamdor. Grey/white, brown eyes. Most of my comments would apply to both the second and third in this class who are litter brothers and very hard to separate. Both have a lovely head with mischievous expression and almond shaped obliquely set eyes, both have super angulation and balance, well presented in lovely coat, great outlines and moved with a light-footed stride. Neither could quite match the winner for muscle condition, but on the move the second just held his topline a little better than his brother on this occasion. 3 Davis & Rees' Amical Morticon JW Sh.CM.
OD (6) 1 Cunningham's Icebex The First Avenger JW. Grey/white, blue eyes. Lovely head and expression, excellent earset, almond shaped obliquely set eyes. I have rewarded this boy well on previous occasions and today too he was a strong contender, just love his outline and balance, he has ideal angulation and proportions, excellent feet and pasterns, well-muscled and wearing one of the best coats of the day. He is a free striding and impressive mover and I'm sure he will win many green cards in the future. 2 Foard's Bifrost Merlot. Black/white, blue eyes. Pleasing head with almond shaped eyes and good earset, plush coat, good proportions with correct arch over loin and slope to croup, good outline. Inclined to fidget on the stand but moved smoothly. 3 Leich, Leich & Koops' Forstal's Solo.
VD (3) 1 Luxmoore & Luxmoore-Ball's Ch Zima Skagway. Black/white, bi-eyed. Very handsome head with correctly sized and placed ears, super expression. Excellent outline and angulation with super front assembly, correct topline that he held perfectly on the move, slight arch over loin and correct slope to croup. Super feet and pasterns, especially considering that he is 10 years old. Obviously still very fit and athletic, his muscle condition matched that of many a younger dog. On the move he is smooth, tidy and light-footed, has all the attributes I would wish to see in a working sled dog and a standard fitting Siberian. Honoured to award him CC, BOB & BV. 2 Bryson's Malakye The Ruler Of Inukshuk. Grey/white, blue eyes. Head rather strong and would prefer more refinement throughout, balance and movement OK, in good coat.
MPB (2) 1 Taylor & Gilmartin's Aloustair's Black Lassy. Dark grey/white, brown eyes, feminine, expressive foxy head with lovely high set ears and almond shaped eyes. Pleasing outline, correct slope to pasterns, level topline, slightly arched loin and correct tailset, good rear angulation, tidy mover, lots of promise. 2 Sims' Snowspeeder's Anya Kuro. Dark grey/white, brown eyes, just 6 months old, very pretty baby but a little overawed by her surroundings. Overall shape, angulation and balance exactly what I would want to see in a pup of this age, everything is there but just needs to come together, will look forward to seeing her develop.
PB (4) 1 Mcinnes' Hushwing Happy Feet At Inneska. Dark grey/white, blue eyes, feminine, mischievous expression, lovely earset, excellent angulation and balance with correct topline, arch to loin and slope to croup, beautifully presented, light-footed on the move. When moving she did tend to dip her head instead of extending it in line with her topline, but this could be corrected easily by the handler bringing the loose lead further up the neck instead of letting it rest on the shoulders. I'm sure this girl has a great future ahead of her, BP. 2 Taylor & Gilmartin's Aloustair's Black Lassy. 3 Spruce's Mysticwolf Maicoh.
JB (7,2) 1 Leich, Leich & Koops' Forstal's Kittila. Light grey/white, brown eyes, not wearing much coat at all today but this made it easier to see her lovely outline and angulation. Pretty head with sweet mischievous expression, almond shaped eyes, excellent front, feet and pasterns, correct arch over the loin and sloping croup, lovely tail carriage, carrying good muscle, moved freely and effortlessly, RCC. 2 Mcinnes' Hushwing Happy Feet At Inneska. 3 Cunningham's Icebex Yippee Ki Yay.
GB (6,1) 1 Winter & Unwin's Snowtrekka Bewitched JW. Grey/white, brown eyes, another one who had left her clothes behind in order to fully show off her excellent athletic construction. Pleasing expression with lovely almond shaped eyes, excellent angulation both front and rear, good tailset, super free-striding movement. 2 March's Trailhunter's Kalisibella. White, blue eyes, feminine with lovely head, almond-shaped obliquely set eyes, pleasing outline and angulation, didn't quite match the winner on front movement today. 3 Wooliscroft's Zarchenski Challenger.
PGB (7,1) 1 March's Trailhunter's Miki. Grey/white piebald, brown eyes, another without much coat leaving her lovely outline in full view. Feminine, athletic, super angulation and topline, slight arch over the loin and correctly sloping croup. Carrying firm muscle and light-footed on the move although didn't quite give her best in the challenge. 2 Seward's Forstal's Crystal With Elleonia JW. Grey/white piebald, blue eyes, feminine expressive head, with good earset and almond-shaped eyes, balanced outline, good topline and tail carriage, wasn't entirely settled on the move but once she did settle moved with a good stride. 3 Wakker's Icynights Sparkle In The Mist At Ceannabeinne.
LB (7,1) 1 Spooner's Charoite Ghost Rider With Mystic Energy. Grey/white, brown eyes, didn't want to put her ears up very much but they are well set when she does put them up, good expression, almond shaped eyes, super front, level topline, she gives the impression of great athleticism. Excellent muscle tone, moved freely and easily with the right amount of reach and drive. 2 Smith's Amical Snow White. White, brown eyes, very feminine, good feet and pasterns, balanced outline, correct topline, croup and tailset, moved smoothly but couldn't quite match the muscle-tone of the winner. 3 Barry & Grisbrooke's Azgard Talvi.
OB (8,1) 1 Seward's Elleonia Breaking Dawn. Grey/white, brown eyes, typical head and expression, pleasing outline and angulation, slight arch over the loin, correctly sloping croup, never puts a foot wrong on the move although today didn't stride out quite as well in the challenge, in gorgeous coat and beautifully presented. 2 Hannam's Charoite Cherry Kamma. Dark grey/white, brown eyes, another very athletic girl with excellent muscle, at the rangy end of the standard and lack of coat made her look all the more rangy - but nothing wrong with that. Super angulation and she moves with the most fabulous stride keeping her topline level and demonstrating the required effortlessness. 3 Smith's Rajarani Lilia Anana.
VB (6) 1 Foard's Zima Squirrel At Bifrost. Dark grey/white, blue eyes, giving her handler a bit of a hard time but my eye was drawn to her both in the class and in the challenge. Mischievous expression, good earset, one of the best fronts of the day with ideal angulation of shoulder and upper arm, super balance, good topline with slight arch over the loin and sloping croup giving correct tail carriage, ideal bend of stifle, in beautiful condition carrying firm muscle, when she settled her movement was effortless and light-footed. Honoured to award her the CC. 2 Jones' Azgard Susitna. Black/white, brown eyes, feminine, typical foxy head, in good coat but carrying just a tad excess weight, good topline and tailset, moved freely. 3 Amphlett's Sybasprinter Dolly Dagger.

This was my second time awarding CC's in Siberian Huskies, and not having judged the breed for nearly three years, it was great to see how some have matured. Once again I did notice that there is still a range of types which made the experience more of a challenge, though I must say that this was not as extreme as before and, of course, I can only judge the dogs on the day.

It gave me great pleasure to judge the breed on the day.However I did find it perticularily challenging in both the mid dog and bitch classes.
The quality in the lower classes was disapointing but due to the longevity of this breed it was very exciting to have a number of my previouse winners
returning for top honours.

Mrs Sue Jones

CITY OF BIRMINGHAM

Many thanks to all the exhibitors for giving me such a large and quality entry! I was really impressed with the depth of quality in the larger classes. I could have given out many more green cards but instead often ended up not even placing dogs who are Champions or CC/Res CC winners. It was great to have the opportunity to go over so many lovely Siberians. Even though my top awards went to the Open class dogs and the Veteran bitches I found it really encouraging to see so many very promising youngsters. Compared to my last judging 5 years ago. I was delighted that overall the movement had improved in soundness with the out and back and also there were many more lovely, ground covering and light footed side gaits. VD (3) Lovely quality class, third place was a bit lame today sadly. 1 Sutherland's Icynights Uigeadail. Seven and a half yr old black and white, top height, lovely outline standing, foxy but masculine head. Good earset, strong topline, both standing and on the move. Sound coming and going and covered the ground well. Good condition, well presented and handled. 2 Amphlett & Sym's Eskmara's Fordson. Eight and a half yrs, very well put together boy, slightly stronger in head than first, good earset. Very well angulated both front and rear and true on the move, covered the ground well and kept a very steady topline. A little unsure of the situation but I later discovered this was his first ever show so this was not at all surprising. 3 Sims' Snowspeeder's Jedi Knight. PD (6, 1) 1 Reeves' Amiz Sterna Vittaka At Korsvig. Lovely promising pup, growing in proportion. In good condition. Correct foxy head and good earset. Level topline and excelled on the move, sound as a bell out and back, very light footed and covering the ground well. He is still learning his ringcraft! One to watch for the future. 2 Seward's Elleonia Simply Perfect. Slightly bigger than first all over. Another really promising pup. Lovely head, excellent earset. Strong topline, good croup, tail set and carriage. Very strong behind but just a little loose in front. Showing like a real pro', very well presented and handled. 3 Wakker's Shaytaan's Doctor Watson At Ceannabeinne (Imp). JD (3) 1 Anderson's Shamsky Ee'lahn Oldany At Uriakin. Beautifully presented and handled very well. Attractive masculine, but still fox-like, head. Well angulated front and rear, strong topline. True movement coming and going, from the side covering the ground well but a little jerky in front at the moment. This is because he is a bit steep and short in the upper arm but this could well improve as he matures. In good muscletone. 2 Downey & Last's Azgard Regatta At Snoqualmie. Tall boy, in excellent condition and well handled. A bit stronger in head than first, strong topline but slightly short in the croup. True mover and covered the ground well. Both first and second were slightly upright in the pastern at the moment. 3 Pass & McKay's Arctictrek's Milky Bar Kid. GD (5, 2) 1 Cunningham's Icebex Show Me The Money. Super condition, excellent muscle tone and lovely coat. He has clearly had plenty of exercise! Masculine attractive head and correct earset.

Covering the ground well from the side, light footed and sound in the rear but a little loose in front today. In lovely condition and well handled. 3 Marvin's Azgard Taiga. LD (12, 1) Wow, what a class. I ended up not placing dogs who I have seen winning well deserved green cards! Thank you for bringing them under me. 1 Winter & Unwin's Nashanessen's Dirty Harry At Snowtrekka JW. Very standard fitting fellow, super foxy head. Good earset, lovely arched neck. Strong topline both standing and on the move. Sound as a bell and very light on his feet. Correct tail set and carriage. In very good condition, well handled. 2 Barry & Grisbrooke's Azgard Glock. Not yet 2 years and still needs to mature further but will for sure gain his title. Masculine head, good earset. Strong topline, excelled in rear drive and front reach, really covering the ground from the side, keeping a very steady topline, sound in the rear but still needs to tighten up a little in the front. Perfect tail set and carriage. In good condition and well handled.

Another top quality dog in super coat and condition. He played up his handler a bit standing but on the move there was no overlooking his qualities. So light footed, ground covering, smooth and holding an absolutely level topline throughout. Completely sound and true coming and going and with great reach and drive. Lovely foxy head and good earset. A worthy Reserve CC and unlucky to meet first on such good form today. 3 Biddlecombe's Korsvigs Cooper At Tsaritsa. VB (9, 1) Wow, what a class to start off with in the bitches. We are so lucky to have a breed where many individuals are in their prime as veterans. 1 Bowering & Evans' Penkhala's Kyra.

Could be criticized for being a touch fine boned right now but this could well improve with maturity. Lovely outline, strong topline, correct croup and good tail. Covering the ground very well with light footed ease, a little loose on the out and back but this will tighten up for sure. Another one to watch. 3 Wooliscroft & Leyland's Shaytann's White Rhino (Imp). JB (7, 3) 1 Sargent's Keriquel Aqualight.

In excellent condition, well handled and I feel sure she will gain her title. 2 Biddlecombe's Tsaritsas Tsassou. A really quality girl and many of the same comments apply.

In lovely condition and sensitively handled. 3 Stanier's Arctictreks Meera's Trouble. LB (10, 1) 1 Barry & Grisbrooke's Azgard Talvi.
