Alaskan Malamutes

Firstly I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge at this show. The main concerns that arose during this appointment were incorrect bites and dogs overweight.

Junior: 8 entries 2 absent

A nice junior class containing some promising puppies that just need to settle on the move.

1st – Icescape Catch Me If You Can. A very nice 15 month black & white bitch. Correct coat although a little sparse. Moved true and held her top-line on the move. Correct head, bite and muzzle. Nice dark pigmentation. Good angulations throughout. Good tail & ear set.

2nd – Icescape Best Kept Secret. Good strong 15 month boy of substance. Impressive head, although carrying an ear injury which spoilt his expression a little. Powerful, true movement and kept his top-line. Good tail set & bite. Good length of body. Good front & rear.

3rd – Austmans Darkness & Light BP. Lovely 9 month black & white puppy. Excellent substance, head coat and tail set. A little too much weight, but forgivable in a puppy. Good pigmentation.
