"Super head on this young dog with correct eye shape and colour, good pigmentation, and neat, well placed ears. Super muscular body, good bone and correct tail carriage. Lovely coat, so well presented, he has a super outline both standing and on the move"
Val Freer (UK), Junior in Show, 2005 APSA Specialty Championship Show
 

"Another nice boy.  The prettiest of heads and looks a picture standing with an excellent reach of neck.  Rather narrow through the body at the moment, a classic Junior problem, and this reflected in his untidy movement.  Should mature to be an excellent dog."

...and on his Best Tail Carriage.." Probably the longest tail in the Southern Hemisphere, but well set, omni-directional and sits correctly."
Hazel Fitzgibbon (UK), 2nd Junior Dog Class and Best Tail Carriage, 2005 APSA Specialty Championship Show
 

"Medium sized dog.  Lovely type. Compact body.  Beautiful head & expression, correct ear and lovely dark eye.  Good angulation front and back.  Not in full coat but correct texture.  Excellent tail set.  Moved true coming and going."
Helen Hill (Victoria, Australia), Junior in Show, 2005 Samoyed Club Inc Specialty Championship Show
