OD/B (4,1)

Siberian Husky

PD/B (2,0)

1. Taylor & Taylor-Morris’ Winter Melody I’ll Just Sit and Look Cute at Pelenrise (Imp Pol). Two very nice but quite different bitch pups challenged here. This 10 mth old came out on top and I thought her something quite special and she was a delight hands on. Totally feminine, she is so good for overall type and beautifully balanced. Arched neck of moderate length which flows into well laid shoulders, firm through the topline, ribbed well back, muscular loin, slight slope to croup and tail pleased for set and carriage. Most attractive headpiece which is well proportioned, the best of eyes and ears, defined stop and scissor bite. She stands foot perfect at all times and has super feet. Accurate on the down and back and certainly light on her feet. BOB & Best Puppy. Pleased to see she went on to win the Puppy Group.

2. Rees’ Winter Melody I’m Too Busy Being Pretty at Amical (Imp Pol). Coming up to 10 mths, this girl isn’t quite as forward in development as the winner and didn’t quite show herself off to advantage up against the perfectly schooled winner. Having said that, she shows great promise and in a later AV class she was much more settled and took that class with ease. Balanced in outline with nicely arched neck, firm level back, ribbing developing well for age and tail good for set and carriage. Feminine head but somewhat different to winner; well furred ears which are set on high, defined stop and correct dentition. She stands well naturally and has good feet. Pleasing action and carriage on the go around but winner just had the edge.
