German Spitz Klein

Not a huge entry but there was a lot of quality. All the dogs had excellent temperaments & were spotlessly clean.

PD (2) 1 Pearce & Francis’ Longsdale’s Willie Win, smart white with a good head, neat ears & well pigmented eye rims, kind intelligent expression, well ribbed with short loin & high set tail, moves & shows well & his coat was in first class condition. BP & RBD; 2 Highmoor’s Printzagems Zak Icelett, not quite as forward as the winner but he too pleases in head, good body with moderate tuck-up & firm topline, excellent double coat, moved soundly just a shade untidy coming back towards me. JD (1) 1 Serman’s Rochedo Bill The Badger by Tymy, strikingly marked b/w of some quality, good head & ears, well ribbed with short loin & good tailset, harsh double coat, moved soundly. PGD (2) 1 Metcalfe’s Chilite Nite Spirit, black with a good head, moderate stop & neat ears, very good body & rib with high set tail, harsh double coat & moved well with a light easy action; 2 Serman’s Wyndlee Twizzle Stick by Tymy, black, nicely constructed & very sound, well balanced & a shade smaller than the winner, he could carry a few more ounces of bodyweight to advantage, good coat texture & very pleasing on the move. OD (5) 1 Francis, Pearce & Tullis’ Icarus Von Zwergen Konig, white of some style & quality, excellent pigmentation, good skull, well ribbed with moderate tuck-up, short strong loin & this just gave him the advantage here, good topline with high set tail, moved well; 2 May’s Ayupduck Bees Knees, excellent coat, pleasing head & expression, well ribbed but just a fraction longer than the winner, high set, well carried tail, very good on the move; 3 Bradbury’s Ch Wychlea Rhonday Vooh. VD (1) 1 Metcalfe’s Ch Flactem Domino, very well coated b/w, in fact I did wonder if he would make the measure but he does with ease. He has a lovely head & expression, neat ears, very good mouth, strong well ribbed body with short loin & high set tail, beautifully balanced & moves out in a very typical fashion with a brisk, easy action. BD. 

PB (2) 1 Bradbury’s Wychlea Vixen In The Dark, lovely feminine black, excellent balance & type with a good head, moderate stop & very neat ears, well ribbed for a puppy with short loin & good tailset, absolutely sound on the move. RBB; 2 Hill’s Rhona Z Temnych Noci at Cyfelin, nice youngster, pleasing expression but not quite as neat in ear as the winner, good forehand with adequate bone, good barrel with high set tail & good coat texture, moved well. JB (1) A. PGB (2) 1 Metcalfe’s Flactem Midnight Blue, lovely blue with a most pleasing head, neat ears & dark oval eye, good forehand, short well ribbed body & good tailset, moves well with a light easy action; 2 Hill’s Cyfelin Rudna Juliet, cream sable, shapely & well balanced & presenting a very pleasing outline both standing & moving, very good coat texture, moved soundly. OB (3) 1 May’s Ayupduck Queen Bee, BOB, black, excels in body & rib with moderate tuck-up & firm topline with good tailset, attractive head with good expression enhanced by neat ears & dark eyes, very good forehand with neat compact feet, well coated & shows to best advantage, moves well with a fluid easy action; 2 Pearce & Francis’ Ch Rimazet Serafino of Longsdale, chocolate with a very pleasing head & expression, good forehand, well ribbed but not quite the tailset of the winner, sound & attractive on the move; 3 Rogerson Terendak Desirabubble.
