Have to say this has always been one of my favourites so thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge. I last judged in 2017 and was so pleased to be invited two years later from when I was originally suppose to judge in 2020. 

Many new exhibits with the majority being new to me which was lovely. A lot has changed, many over the standard height, pigment issues and lack of correct coat. Poor front angulation has always been a problem in our breed in general.

Yes the weather was warm and we also had ones that had been born during the pandemic which needed some reassurance. 

As always our breed standard allows for a lot of variation so in a lot of cases one had to compromise.

Puppy Dog Class (5) 

 1st: WAKELING Klewagin Major Zamora. One of 4 11 month old puppies, slow maturing as Siberians do. G/W Foxy head, oblique set eyes and keen expression, ears in proportion, not too big or too small, correctly fitting lips. Medium throughout, size, not too tall, firm top line, correct depth of chest for his age. Handling and movement was difficult to assess but balance was good looking from the side. 

2nd: WAKELING Klewagin Grant Gunnar! Littermate to one. G/W of lighter colour, good pigment, foxy head, ears in proportion, not too big or too small, correct scissor bite nicely fitting lips. Correct size and shape at this age, correct depth of chest. Just preferred one which could change on another day.
