SIBERIAN HUSKY

I would like to thank the Manchester committee for inviting me to judge Siberian Huskies, it was with somewhat of mixed emotions that I took the appointment since it was due to be Mark Cocozza’s first appointment judging the breed, that said I was delighted with my overall entry of 124 and the overall attendance resulted in very few absentees. If I may make one or two comments I was pleased to report back to the Kennel Club that I had no thin nor obese Siberians exhibited, the temperaments were excellent throughout and the dentition met the breed standard. Of slightly more concern to me, if I was breeding, was the general untidiness of the front movement, particularly on the out and back and I would suggest that attention needs to be placed, in particular, on shoulder angulation going forward.
