VD. 1st Zakaytia Angel Of Mine. 10 year old in lovely form and condition. Appeals in outline and pleasing in size. Correct wedge head, moderate length of muzzle with well placed almond eye.

PD. Rosnorske Royal Kylo. 11 month old youngster showing potential. Liked his balanced outline. Masculine, shapely head. Excellent eye. Good pigment. Moderate neck. Needs to fully drop in chest but plenty of time for that. Excellent bone. Well bodied and coated for his age. Moved out well from profile, true out and back.
2nd Angelicus Sam Diablo Guapo. Another promising youngster. Mature and looks the part on the stack with his excellent shape and quality coat. Beautiful head and expression. Balanced angles and carries his well-set tail correctly at all times. Moved well, taking time to settle but absolutely sound.

JD. 1st Rosnorske Royal Qui Gon At Glamyarn. One of three litter brothers here today and at this stage, this excellent young dog is edging ahead. Standing alone but could easily win in company. Excellent proportions with correct wedge head, flattish skull with good balance with muzzle. Excellent eye, ear size and set. Firm body with good depth of chest for his age. Well balanced all through with correctly angled front and moderately angled rear. Excellent thick coat showing typical silver tips. Immaculately presented. Super mover. BPD.

Correct wedge head, strong, flat skull with muzzle to compliment. Excellent almond eye, set correctly giving required expression. Strong, arched neck. Very good lay of shoulder and return of upperarm. Sufficient depth of chest. Has strength of bone and mature in body with muscular, short loins. Moderate rear. Excellent high-set tail. Covered the ground soundly with a medium stride and sound. Pleased to award him the CC & BOB (his third!) Pleased to see he gained Group 2 later in the day. Hope we see more him throughout the season.
OD. 1st Ch. Vandreem Imperial Ripasso. This lovely male really appealed for his excellent outline and overall quality. Preferred his size to his kennelmate who took the CC today but not quite as accurate in footfall out and back. Excellent body, beautiful coat and a great showman. Displayed a moderate stride from side gait. An excellent Samoyed! Res CC.

Head of correct wedge shape, strong skull and typical dark eye, correct shape and set giving an eager expression. Muscular neck of moderate length. Deep chest. Strong bone and correct feet, well feathered. Short loins. Moderate rear quarters. In hard, muscular condition. Moved out very well and in immaculate coat.
3rd Siberianmist Odin.
MPB. Nirvana Prie Svetlicos To Vandreem. Beautiful puppy of 6 months. So very well-schooled and composed to give her best at this tender age. Appeals greatly in head and overall conformation. Excellent body and typical coat for age. Can just come up on the leg a touch to balance her outline but she has tons of time ahead of her and, frankly, I just loved her! BP, Res CC and delighted to see she topped the Puppy Group and finished RBPIS. Congratulations!
PB. 1st Novaskaya Yva Lefay By Taronakits. Another super pup. 10 months and again, lots of potential. Excellent outline, beautifully feminine in head and outlook. Balanced angles front and rear. Super coat. Moved well once settled.
2nd Rosskaja Ginato Clemintino. Having recently judged this lovely pup and awarding her high honours, she obviously appeals to me. Feminine but has quality of bone. Lovely shape with and excellent head, eye, and dark pigmentation. Uses her ears to best advantage. Just lacking a bit in confidence with hands-on today but females at this age often play silly, they usually come through it with time and patience. Excellent mover.
JB. 1st Rosskaja Gino Pearl For Snowbiscuit. Loved this youngster. All quality and has an excellent head, correct blunt wedge-shape. Medium neck leading to a good body shape and fabulous condition. Moderately laid shoulder with rear to compliment. High set tail. Loved her femininity and cheeky character. Moved true in all directions. Coat correct for age. I thought her very promising indeed.
2nd N. Yva Lefay By T.
3rd Rosnorske Royal Azalea.
PGB. 1st Jewel Child Of Joy Orleansnow. Slightly bigger-built female but no mistaking her gender. Very functional in conformation with balanced angles, firm body and well set-on tail. Not quite in full coat but what she has is of excellent texture and well presented. Keen showgirl, enhancing her typical expression. Moved freely from profile.
2nd Rosnorske Royal Lotus. Another very good representative carrying this affix. Liked her size and has a typical head and outlook. Correct eye shape and set. Medium neck. Ok in angles front and back. Stands on very good, well feathered feet. Took time to settle, but sound and true in all directions. Lovely coat.
LB. A well-filled class that was interesting to sort.
1st Dreambig Evija. Loved this young female. Excellent balance and strength of all through but not compromising any femininity. Head of correct wedge shape, medium-sized, thick ears. Almond eye shape, dark and expressive. Muscular neck leading to a soundly made front. Firm backline with short loins. Well angled rear with soundness in hock action. Holds her tail well. Super mover from profile, driving well from her rear. Excellent coat, immaculate condition. Think she will easily gain her crown and was close-up on the day.
2nd Taronakits It’s Kalyra At Samarind. A very appealing female full of personality. A size smaller than 1st but nothing lacking with good bone and firm body to compliment her frame. Gorgeous head, eye and expression. Excellent overall conformation. Moved out well. Lovely coat.
3rd Svetllen’s Barn Owl.
OB. 1st Aleski Viva La Diva. At 4 years this excellent female is at the peak of condition and at full maturity. Looked a picture on the stack. Liked her size and balanced outline. Super wedge head, dark almond eye and strong pigment. At one with her handler at all times. Deep, functional chest. Moderate angles front and rear. High set tail. Correct , feathered feet. In full, double coat, immaculately presented. Moved well from profile and coming towards but could have a touch more drive going away. That said, no denying her quality and excellent breed type. Delighted to award her the CC. Good luck with her title.
2nd Silvertips Star Attraction At Zakaytia. Slightly younger than 1st and not quite in full coat. A very good representative of the breed and I liked her functional build. Good head, muzzle and dark pigment. Excellent eye shape. Good reach and arch of neck, which takes the eye on the stack. A quality female that moved freely.
