Demon qualified for Crufts last year and this is our first attendance! Finlay has entered a show in the junior handling class and Isobel is now old enough to enter as she has recently celebrated her 6th birthday. She may make her debut at York next month.

2009: Showing season began for us with a very eventful first show; Morecambe and Heysham Canine Association. After a last minute change of plan we decided not to enter Meeka in the show, as she was in season, and instead to enter Demon into junior class and move his brother (Ranger) into the post graduate class. Demon behaved wonderfully in the ring, moving and standing well and taking first place in his class and best puppy in breed! A brilliant result for his first ever show. Ranger was placed 4th in his class and Finlay did fantastically well in the junior handler class with Demon, being awarded second

Breed Standard

General Appearance

Medium-sized working sled dog, quick and light on feet. Free and graceful in action, with well-furred body, erect ears and brush tail. Proportions reflect a basic balance or power, speed and endurance, never appearing so heavy or so coarse as to suggest a freighting animal, nor so light and fragile as to suggest a sprint-racing animal. Males are masculine but never coarse, bitches feminine but without weakness of structure. Muscle firm and well developed, no excess weight.


Characteristics

Medium size, moderate bone, well balanced proportions, ease and freedom of movement and good disposition.

Temperament

Friendly and gentle, alert and outgoing. Does not display traits of the guard dog, not suspicious with strangers or aggressive with other dogs but some measure of reserve expected in mature dog. Intelligent, tractable and eager disposition. An agreeable companion and willing worker.

Gait/Movement

Smooth and seemingly effortless. Quick and light on feet, gaited on a loose lead at a moderately fast trot, exhibiting good reach in forequarters and good drive in hindquarters. When walking, legs move in parallel but as speed increased, gradually angling inward to single track. As paw marks converge forelegs and hindlegs carried straight wither neither elbows nor stifles turning in or out, each hindleg moving in path of foreleg on same side. Topline of back remaining firm and level during gaiting.


Coat

Double and medium in length, giving a well furred appearance, never so long as to obscure clean-cut outline of dog. Undercoat soft and dense of sufficient length to support outer coat. Guard hairs of outer coat straight and somewhat smooth-lying, never harsh, rough or shaggy, too silky nor standing off from body. Absence of undercoat during shedding normal. No trimming of fur on any part of dog, except feet.


Colour

All colours and marking, including white, allowed. Variety of marking on head is common, including many striking patterns not found in other breeds.
