Sika's Page
Hawkam Leading Lady Of Kachemak

Sika was one of a lovely litter of 9 puppies, also bred by Walt & Kath Howarth at Hawkam, and sired by Devon. Her Mum was the stunning Hawkam's bitch, Quin. Quin did a great deal of winning in the show ring with many Best Bitch and Best Of Breed awards at Championship Show Level, including Best Bitch at Crufts 2005. She also gained her Show Certificate of Merit for her success at Open Show level. Quin won BEST IN SHOW out of massive entry of 225 Malamutes at the AMCUK Championship Show 2007 under top USA Malamute breeder and world renowned judge Nancy Russell (Storm Kloud's) which gave her her first CC. Her second CC was won at the National Dog in Stafford in May 2008 and her 3rd was won at the same show in 2009. She became our 4th UK Champion.

Sika immediately set about running things. She is a real water baby and led Chena astray from the start by systematically destroying the garden. She had her own paddling pool to try and persuade her not to paddle in the bird bath! Sika, too, is a very affectionate pup and was just the right size for picking up and squeezing. We tried to make the most of it while we could. She has turned into a very loving, but demanding little girl who craves attention and constant company. She is the smallest of the dogs but has the biggest voice. She chatters and woos when she wants something, which is usually all the time! She may be small but she is perfectly formed with a beautiful cheeky expression which gets her noticed by all the judges.

Sika has been showing since December 2006 when she was awarded first place in a big puppy class at her very first show, The Ladies Kennel Association Championship Show. During the rest of her first year of showing she notched up a number of Open Show Best Puppy In Breed, Best Of Breed, Group and Puppy Group placings, as well as numerous other 1st places at Championship Shows. She is consistently placed in the top 3 at Championship Shows. She gained a Stud Book Number by taking the Reserve Bitch Challenge Certificate out of the Junior class at just 15 months of age at the Welsh Kennel Club 2007 which means she has qualified for Crufts for life. In April 2010 she won her first Challenge Certificate with Best Bitch and Best of Breed at West of England Ladies Kennel Society Championship Show and then 4 weeks later she gained her second Challenge Certificate with Best Bitch and Best of Breed again at the Scottish Kennel Club Championship Show. She picked up her 2nd Reserve Challenge Certificate at the age of 7 at Driffield Championship Show. Although we are spending less time in the show ring now, Sika is still competing in some very tough Veteran classes against Chena and lots of other lovely ladies.

Sika was awarded the Top Special Beginner Award in the 2007 AMCUK Malamute Of The Year Competition. She was also 3rd Top Bitch and 7th Top Malamute Overall. In the 2008 results she was 7th Top Bitch and 17th Top Malamute. In the 2009 results she was 16th Top Bitch and in 2010 she was 4th Top Bitch and 9th Top Mal overall. Sika worked alongside Elke in harness during her first season, then competed in rallies with a variety of partners including her Uncle Kodi and her Brother Womble.
Sika completed her Working Team Dog (WTD) Certificate, completing a number of 10 mile treks alongside Nemo owned by Marina and Paddy Page or her brother Womble.
Sika also competed regularly in Weight-pull competitions. She never quite matched her half sister for strength and technique but was also one of the first 4 UK Malamutes to achieve their Alaskan Malamute Club of America WWPD certificate. She was also working towards her Excellent Certificate (WWPDX). As you can see though, she occasionally believed that she is too pretty to pull. She's now retired from competing in harness although she does occasionally provide some entertainment in the weight pull chute!
As a result of Sika and her brothers' and sisters' working successes, their Mum Quin became the first UK Malamute to earn her Register Of Merit - Working Dog Certificate (ROMWD) through the AMCA, which recognises the working achievements of a dog or bitches progeny. Devon has also earned this accolade.

Anne Nevinson, 1st Veteran Bitch & Reserve Best Bitch, Working & Pastoral Breeds Association of Scotland, November 2014
**********

Cheryl Paterson (Canada), 3rd Veteran Bitch, AMCUK Champ Show, September 2014

Dave Killilea, 2nd Open Bitch, Driffield, September 2014
**********
"Very similar in type to winner, perhaps a tad smaller. Her overall balance is good. She has a little too much angulation in the rear & she is also a bit short stepping in front. Not the good side action of the winner;"
Lorraine Bolton, 2nd Veteran Bitch, SKC, August 2014
***********
"Always admired this bitch, love her expression, nice width of chest for age, good for bone and substance, correct harsh coat, waiving plume tailset, clean coming and going with an efficient side gait"

RCC"
Steve Myring, 1st Open Bitch & Reserve Challenge Certificate, Driffield, September 2013

"Pretty feminine girl with a lovely soft expression, correct head proportions, small well furred ears and lovely dark eye. Good bone, correct angulations front & rear, strong hocks & nice short strong pasterns. Beautiful correctly textured coat. Good tail set & carriage. Moderate & well balanced. Moved out well, just lost out to 1st on the final run around but could easily change on another day. "
Marina Page, 2nd Open, Lanchester Agricultural Society, July 2013

Brenda Banbury, 2nd Open Bitch & Reserve Best Bitch, Working & Pastoral Breeds Ass of Scotland November 2012

" 6 yr g/white bitch. As feminine as winner of this class was masculine. Such a pretty headpiece, strong compact muzzle, with dark oblique eyes and small, well furred ears. Gives an overall picture of balance, strong pasterns, well angled rear, topline slightly sloping and tail carried beautifully on the move. Plenty of bone and fantastic coat. Her movement echo’s her soundness on the stand, but lacked the enthusiasm of the class winner which cost her a higher place."
Alanna J.Blaney, Grantham & District Open Show October 2012
**********
"Stunning looking 6 year bitch in the best of coats, loved her outline & balance, beautiful head & expression, well used ears, good construction all through with plenty of bone & substance, she has excellent movement particularly in profile. At first glance she looked a little short in the neck but on getting my hands on her it was apparent that this was due to her abundant coat, I find it hard to believe she is not a ch yet"
Bridgette Bodle, 1st Open Bitch & Best Bitch, Driffield, September 2012
**********
"This girl also left her coat at home. I preferred the head on this bitch, but not as settled on the move as 1. Good topline with correct tailset. She is also a little long in pastern & needs to settle on the move. Would like to see both these girls in coat."
Helen Burke, 2nd Limit Bitch, SKC, August 2010
***********
"A quality bitch, it was a close call between 1 & 2 in this class and could have been reversed on another day. Correct feminine head with correct ear and eye placement and a correct stop. Super construction, in fabulous condition and moved out with drive."

Delightful in every facet, the darkest of eyes, small, well furred thick ears. Powerful yet feminine, well boned, strong pasterns and tight feet.

Well boned legs with feet of good size and well arched toes. Short, strong & slightly sloping pasterns. Balanced angles front & rear with broad thighs, slightly sloping croup and correct tail.
