Champagne again. Really, if Kaden has to have a Sibe, I wouldn't mind getting a pup off of her.
Notice the tail is hanging flat. Sibes tails don't curl, not even when excited, that's a fault. **They do curve, but not curl like an Eskie's, and most dogs when gaiting will carry it more out than over the back.

Not according to the AKC..
Tail
The well furred tail of fox-brush shape is set on just below the level of the topline, and is usually carried over the back in a graceful sickle curve when the dog is at attention. When carried up, the tail does not curl to either side of the body, nor does it snap flat against the back. A trailing tail is normal for the dog when in repose. Hair on the tail is of medium length and approximately the same length on top, sides and bottom, giving the appearance of a round brush. Faults--A snapped or tightly curled tail; highly plumed tail; tail set too low or too high.

Not sure if you're agreeing, though I think you are, but...to clarify what I was saying, the sickle curve to me isn't a curl...because curls make me think of curly fries and pretty much what an American Eskimo's tail does. A Sibe's tail looks like a lazy attempt at an L to me when excited. the short line being the base.
You think mine is show-quality?

From what I can tell, he's close but has some faults. It could be the way he's standing or the angle though. You'd ever have to stack him and photograph the stacks from all angles, plus measure to the top of his shoulder blade, for me to be able to tell you more. Or, I'd have to see him in person and be able to go over him. I'm not a Sibe person by any means, so if you're ever in/around OKC, give me time to study up on the standard further than what I'm reading now and get more of a feel for the breed.
You'd be surprised, the snooty depends on the breed you're in really. There's a lot of politics in some breeds, especially where you have huge entries(like Dobies and Goldens), there are still nice people to be found, but esh, at times it can get crazy. But people like the Ibizan Hound people, really awesome and very nice. Save for maybe a couple of occasional trouble makers, but they typically keep it within the actual group of breed fanciers and not let it get to newbies in the breed.

Well, on that alone then, no. Over 23 1/2 inches is an automatic disqualification. Sibes are built for speed, thus you want a smaller, lighter dog, where Alaskan Malamutes are your freight dogs, pulling heavier loads slower. That said, regardless, he's still one of the better pet quality Sibes you'll often see.
