BRITISH SAMOYED CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW Judge: MRS A CAWTHERA PURDY DCC Ch Nikara Diamond Dancer (Smith & Freer) RDCC Taronakits Kenko with Norjack (Collinson) BCC Nikara Diamond Jubilee with Norjack (Collinson) RBCC Ch Ilyse Boschi Vecchi of Amarige (Farrington) BIS Ch Nikara Diamond Dancer (Smith & Freer) BPIS Amarige Givenchy (Farrington) RBIS Angelicus Sammie Sno It All (Ashbourne) My thanks to all exhibitors for this lovely entry which I thoroughly enjoyed assessing and to the Officers and committee of the Club for ensuring the day ran so smoothly. I found plenty to like and was impressed generally by head quality, coat texture and presentation within this entry. Movement was variable and although there was plenty of strong, sound movement and good construction there was also some poor movement and suspect conformation which breeders need to be aware of when thinking of breeding programmes and future generations. My thanks to my able steward. Minor Puppy - Dog Entries: 1 Absentees: 0 1ST Zeelukzak Startrooper (Eastwood) 7mth well grown. Good shoulders. Pleasing head and expression. Good quality coat. Moved well once settled, but very much a pup behaviour wise. Puppy - Dog Entries: 6 Absentees: 0 1ST Angelicus Sammie Sno It All (Ashbourne) Lovely type. Good head, with pleasing eye and ear placement. Good quality coat. Very balanced under my hands. Movement fine once settled but giving his handler a hard time in typical puppy fashion. RBPIS 2ND Nikara Dancing on Air to Arianrhod (Lloyd) Less mature and lacking a little body but could not be overlooked for his sound conformation and good movement. Again a quality puppy with plenty going for him once he learns his trade. 3RD Nikara Dancing by the Light at Mumansk (Divers) Junior - Dog Entries: 3 Absentees: 0 1ST Rosnorske Bertie Bollinger at Shianise (Shepherd) Loved this young lad for his correct head and beautiful expression. Good body and coat of the correct texture. Movement sound but needs to strengthen further. 2ND Nikara Dancing on Air with Arianrhod (Llloyd 3RD Novaskaya Lysandro Lafay (Moody & Haffenden) Yearling - Dog Entries: 3 Absentees: 1 1ST Rosnorske Bertie Bollinger at Shianise (Shepherd) 2ND Samoravich I’m Majik at Mumansk (Divers) Very much a teenager in both body and behaviour. Well proportioned but lacking both body and coat today. Maiden - Dog Entries: 2 Absentees: 1 1ST Novaskaya Lysandro Lafay (Moody & Haffenden) I felt I was seeing this lad at anything but his best, a shame as he has real promise. All he needs is time Novice - Dog Entries: 4 Absentees: 1 1ST Angelicus Sammie Sno It All ( Ashbourne) 2ND Zeelukzak Buggin’n Huggin (Mann) Lots of quality here. Lovely shape, good angulation. Moved well when steady. Needs to show his head which isn’t helped by his barking. 3RD Novaskaya Lysandro lafay ( Moody & Haffenden) Undergraduate - Dog Entries: 2 Absentees: 0 1ST Zeelukzak Buggin ‘ Huggin (Mann) 2ND Nikara Dancing on Air to Arianrhod (Lloyd) Post Graduate - Dog Entries: 6 Absentees: 2 1ST Lighto The Twinkling Star of Blossomrain(imp) (Dudek) Medium size, beautifully put together with pleasing head and expression. Out moved his opposition here today 2ND Cocosamel Antaeus (Shaw) Rangier with still a way to go in terms of development. He has promise but is still giving a lot away. 3RD Karmynski Silver Star (ShCM) (Walker) Limit - Dog Entries: 5 Absentees: 0 1ST Taronakits Kenko of Norjack (Clollinson) What a lovely quality young dog this is! Best mover in this class, felt so good under my hands, beautifully proportioned and so well balanced. Presented and handled to show off his many attributes. RCC 2ND Taronakits Kit An Kaboddle (Brandenburg) Older full brother to winner and close up to him in almost all respects but this lad is not easy and was determined to give his handler a hard time today and not really settling on the move. 3RD Lizanvide Prince Montague (Ellis) Open - Dog Entries: 6 Absentees: 2 Three top quality Chs headed this line 1ST Ch Nikara Diamond Dancer (Smith & Freer) Strength, soundness and breed type all in abundance. This well-known boy does not disappoint. He is one of the best Samoyeds it has been my pleasure to go over. Nothing is over done he just meets the breed standard and so well even in the small ways, for example his pasterns – just as they should be, his eye shape - just as it should be. No hesitation he had to be my BIS. 2ND Ch Vandreem Imperial Kai (ShCM) (Jones) This boy has a beautiful outline when stood. He is well put together and moves to prove it. Correct angulation, correct coat which is beautifully presented. So much to like. Handled well. 3RD Ch Zeeluzak Ice Man ( Muncaster) Veteran - Dog Entries: 0 Absentees: 0 Breeders - Dog Entries: 2 Absentees: 1 1ST Novaskaya Lysandro Lefay (Moody & Haffenden) Minor Puppy Bitch (3/0) 1st Amarige Givenchy (Farrington) Ultra feminine and oozing quality. Loved her head and expression, typical Sammie pretty but with a hint of mischief. Excellent body and extremely well balanced profuse correctly texture coat presented to perfection. Lovely tail set well with a plume to match. Moved well. BPIS. 2nd Zeelukzak Diamond Star (Mann) Plenty of positives with this pup. Liked her body and angulation particularly stifle giving her strong rear action. Quality coat. 3rd Samnouska Shades of White (?) Puppy Bitch (9/2) 1st Zeelukzak Diamond Star (Mann) 2nd Hellas Blueagean Verde from Blueagean (Zissis) Correctly shaped and well coated puppy. Feminine head and expression movement fine once settled. 3rd Samnouska Shades of White (?) Junior Bitch (4/0) 1st Novaskaya Lykkef Lefay (Moody & Haffenden) Not in her full jacket and still to mature further but plenty of quality throughout and all the essentials. Won here on head eye, and expression but I also love her stifle and general angulation. 2nd Hellas Blueagean Verde from Blueagean (Zissis) 3rd Samnouska Shades of White (?) Yearling Bitch (3/0) 1st Taronakits Kalamity Jean (Page) Headed a line-up of 3 typy, sound, quality young girls. 3rd out of coat today. My winner I loved for her head and expression, so typical, her excellent conformation which she porved with her movement. Very much my cup of tea. 2nd Karmynski Silver Tiara (Walker) Slightly rangier than 1 but still giving a balanced shape. Conformation good with correct stifle and god tail carriage. Moved well. 3rd Vandreem Imperial Mirca (Jones) Maiden Bitch (3/0) 1st Glynsam Snow Kitten at Roselaskia (Medler) Not the biggest but well within breed standard and so very feminine. Very attractive headpiece on this 18mth old. Good mover with plenty of drive, working from her well-turned stifle with ease. Lovely balance throughout. 2nd Zeelukzak Diamond Star (Mann) 3rd Settrock Pallas Athena of Samnouska (???) Novice Bitch (3/0) 1st Glynsam Snow Kitten at Roselaskia (Medler) 2nd Zeelukzak Diamond Star (Mann) 3rd Sarnoushka Maggie Mae (Lepley) Undergraduate Bitch (5/0) 1st Taronakits Kalamity Jean (Page) 2nd Vandreem Imperial Malisse (McCann) Lovely stride pattern on this typical Sam. Good body and conformation. Not in her full jacket today. 3rd Gemora Royal Mischief Maker ( Robinson) Postgraduate Bitch (5/0) 1st Gemora Royal Princess at Icespirit (Shipley) In full coat of good texture. Pleasing head and expression. Well-knit frame producing good movement. 2nd Zeelukzak Ice n’ Glorious at Zakaytia (Short) Won her place here on her sound conformation and strong movement. Out of coat and lacking texture at the moment. Head has good properties but slightly larger in ear than my preference. 3rd Nikitta Katch Me If You Can (Hounslow) Limit Bitch (6/3) 1st Kimeekasams Miss Chief (Young) A very typical, strong and sound, honest Sam. She is not the prettiest in head but does meet the standard. Her biscuit shaded coat was beautifully presented and her movement was impressive. 2nd Zamoyski Lucky Pearl (Levy) Plenty of positives with this pretty headed Sam. Not the movement of 1 today. 3rd Blueagean Royla Andromeda for Snowtsar (Morris) Open Bitch (7/2) This class was headed by a trio of truly stunning girls all of different types yet all meeting the standard so well – I really could change them round again and again and was splitting hairs! 1st Ch Nikara Diamond Jubilee with Norjack (Collinson) The head and expression on this young lady is, in my opinion, one of the best her clever breeder has produced to date, so correct to the standard and with such good combination of ear, eye and lip alignment that her Sammie Smile is simply beautiful. Her body is totally balanced with good length of leg and good tail set. Her conformation is of the best and her movement strong with both power and grace. Her coat is short and plush, beautifully textured and presented to perfection. BCC & RBIS 2nd Ch Ilyse Boschi Vecchi of Amarige (imp Ita) (Farrington) Again this beautiful girl excels in head and expression, you can’t help but smile when you look at her. Her neck is so proud giving her a stunning outline in stance. Her conformation is excellent and her movement free and strong. In full coat and presented to perfection with featherings and feet the like we rarely see these days. RCC 3rd Ch Taronakits It’s Keeta. (Brnadenburg) Veteran Bitch (5/1) 1st Ch Vandreem Imperial Hermioni by Berezniki (Bobrowski) I have always rated this beautiful Ch very highly, giving her one of her early CCs from an age class when I judged Crufts. I have watched her fabulous career and she has been a true ambassador for our breed. She can still compete with the best and has also proved the longevity our breed should have as at over 9 years old she still looks a youngster. 2nd Snowsapphire Cool Emerald for Snowtzar (Morris) Another of my old favourites, a lovely bitch with so much to like. 3rd Novaskaya Laryssa Lefay (Moody & Haffenden)
