....And I don't want to see any of them at Crufts! :D

...But just to add....if anyone is planning any breedings using these lines I'd love to know about it. I'm a bit disillusioned with UK matings at the minute, feel like the gene pool needs a boost. I'm dying to see Windbergs japanese litter all grown up and Northcoasts planned litter, it's quite exciting. When I'm abroad the first thing I notice is the difference in coat quality and temprement. I know a few folk have imported recently so it'll be interesting to see the impact (if any) on our breed standard. Pray to the God of perfect tails/teeth :D

But Spook, you can get perfect teeth, tails and temprement if you know where to look :)

Edited to change name :D

That's a bit wistful and depends on your idea of perfect :D Some people's idea of a perfect head can be a pinhead to others. Some peoples idea of of a bad temprement can be somebody elses breed dominance. :)

No, not wistful at all Spook, just true :)

Maybe you are looking at the wrong breeders ? There *are* bad tails, pin heads and dominance in the UK malamutes as you well know, but only in some kennels and there are some overseas kennels with bad traits as well :)

Possibly that is why some breeders are bringing in new blood, to improve their own stock, I don't know :)

I have only been actually in the breed for 3 years and I am humble enough to realise that I know very little :) Or, of course, you may have been in the Mal world for 10 years or something ..... :p :p

Then of course, I don't have any particular affiliation with any overseas friends either ;) :D

The original post was to list 5 champs. Meant to be light hearted, but would've emphasised my point as I'm sure your top 5 would not be my top 5 and vice versa, showing individual preferrences. 


  "Maybe you are looking at the wrong breeders ? There *are* bad tails, pin heads and dominance in the UK malamutes as you well know, but only in some kennels and there are some overseas kennels with bad traits as well "

I doubt the breeders I'm involved with would appreciate that initial comment. And the latter goes without saying.
 
I don't know who you think you're dealing with but the last comments are quite obviously personal attacks/slurs.

There was no slur, it was a question, thats why I said 'possibly':)  I have no idea who the breeder you are refering to is Spook. I do know Jayne of Windberg kennels and love the look of her latest pups and I am hardly likely to cast a slur on her :)

You obviously have an axe to grind so I will bow out gracefully :)

As it was you who failed to reply to the original posts and completely diverted I say the axe grinder title is debatable. There is nothing graceful about your exit either :rolleyes:

can we take this to email please

when you use the term "pinhead" what do you mean?  I am intresed to know...

Just a small head :) On Malamutes, the last thing to grow is often the head ...

kool thanks :) I am now one word wiser :D
