Samoyed Breeders & Owners League

Samoyed Breeders and Owners League Championship Show (SBOL) 13th July 2024. Firstly, I would very much like to thank the committee of the SBOL for inviting me to judge at your show. It was well run and with a good atmosphere which is always lovely to see. Secondly, I would like to thank all the exhibitors who took the time to enter under me, I very much appreciate it and had some lovely dogs to go over as a result. The one general observation I would make is that movement needs watching as it was very variable. Class 1 Minor Puppy Dog 1 1. Wilson’s CroftDouglas Brave Bundle. At his first show but coped so well and super to see him enjoying his day out. As he should be at this age. I think this boy has a very promising future. He is well angulated with a good reach of neck and a lovely plush coat with a super tail set. Head as it should be at his age. Movement loose but this will tighten up as he grows. Class 2 Puppy Dog 0 Class 3 Junior Dog 2 (1) 1. Adam’s Kensesqui Blini by Saroxsha. A substantial boy with a broad flat skull and well placed ears. Eye set ok and some lovely teeth on him. Well presented with reasonable muscling. Angulation better back than front but good pasterns. A good length of neck. Moved well. Class 4 Yearling Dog 0 Class 5 Post Graduate Dog 2 1. Winger’s Rosskaja Here Comes Trouble for Synanaria. Very masculine boy carrying a heavy coat. Beautiful handsome head with lovely eye shape and just the right amount of stop. Like his neck which was set well in a strong body with good loin. Nice straight hocks and reasonable angulation. Well presented and won this class on his movement. 2. Richardson and Owen’s Svetllen’s Barentsz. I had written that these two boys could change places on another day. Another good looking boy with a lot to like. Good leg to body proportion.

Class 6 Mid Limit Dog 0 Class 7 Limit Dog 6 A good class of dogs of very different types. 1. Humphrey’s Tiksi Time After Time. A medium sized biscuit shaded boy with lots to like. Very unexaggerated in every way. Just a such a shame he did not always want to cooperate with his handler. However, he did enough to see his qualities. Super head with typical expression and smile. Good depth of chest and depth of rib. Tail set just right. Angulation back and front good. Moved out best in the class. Pleased to award him RCC. 2. Dodd’s Bondsmoor Autumnal Breeze.
