German Spitz Klein

PD (1) 1 Robert’s Oberitz Vanadinite, 10 months brown. Smart puppy who presented a super balance outline being nice & compact, with correct length of neck, level topline, short loin & tailset on nice & high. Attractive head of correct proportions with excellent ears for size & set. Moves out well, in brisk fashion, when viewed in profile. Good rear action but could be a tad more positive in front. Quality coat. Well handled. BPD. JD (2) 1 Pearce, Francis & Williams’ Longsdale's Lets Go Trebettyn, 16 months cream. Overall nicely balanced boy of pleasing type. Correct length of neck, firm level topline, moderate spring of rib, short loin & high set tail of good carriage. Pleasing head of good proportions with dark almond shaped eyes. Good shoulder placement & nice straight forelegs. Strong hindquarters with moderate angulation. Eyecatching side gait & carriage. Excellent coat & another so well handled; 2 Hamer’s Clarmers Diamond Mischief, 16 months black. Smaller all through than the winner but a pleasing type nonetheless. Balanced in outline with moderately short neck, good rib, level topline, short loin & tail set on high. Good head proportions with good eye for shape excellent ears for size & set & correct mouth. He was moving well when viewed in profile & was handled to advantage. Preferred the hindquarters of the winner. OD (5,1a) 1 Pearce & Francis’ Ch Longsdale's Willie Win, 2 years old cream who stood out for me here. Presented in immaculate condition & what a showman he is! So good to go over, of excellent size & balance, with correct length of neck, excellent rib, firm level topline, short loin & excellent tail for both set & carriage. Masculine head of correct proportions, with no suggestion of coarseness, dark expressive eyes & good ears for size & set. Profile movement is quite something & he uses himself to advantage at all times. Quality coat. A pleasure to award him the CC here today & also BOB; 2 Highmoor’s Ch Printzagems Verve, 4 years old black of different type to the winner but one who greatly appealed. Another who was so good to go over on the table. Well constructed throughout & so well balanced. Moderately short neck, level topline, correct spring of rib, short well developed loin & tail set on nice & high. Super head, of correct proportions, with dark expressive eyes & excellent ears. Did not disappoint on the move. RCC; 3 Cook’s Goldritz Stole The Sun.

MPB (2) 1 Williams’ Stormavon Silverangel at Megahra, 8 months cream. Balance, feminine girl who is good for size & carrying enough bone for her build. Attractive head with almond shaped eyes & good ears for both size & set. Enough neck, level topline, rib developing nicely, short loin & excellent tail set. Moving very well in profile with typical brisk action. Quality coat. Well handled; 2 Thomas’ Indizak Circle Of Life, 6 months cr/s. Only a baby & needs to gain confidence but showing lots of promise. Delightful head & expression with dark, almond shaped eyes & super ears for size & set. Moderately short length of neck, level topline & tail set on nice & high. From what I could see she was moving well enough all ways. PB (3,1) 1 Highmoor’s Buffmyster Leading Lady, 7 months black who was an easy winner in this class for me. Loved this girl’s head; of correct proportions with dark, almond shaped eyes & excellent ears, all playing their part to produce the most exquisite expression. Nice length of neck, level topline, rib developing nicely, short loin & good tail for both set & carriage. Well constructed throughout & one who cannot stand wrong. RCC & BP; 2 Williams’ Foxy Nose Zahra at Megahra, 11 months cream of completely different type to winner. Dark eye & good ears for size & set but I felt her head was slightly off balance, being shorter in muzzle than desired. Pleasing construction & she moved very well in profile with typical brisk action. Nicely angulated hindquarters. Quality coat. JB (1) 1 Hamer’s Clarmers Diamond Bear, 16 months brown. Overall very nice girl. She presented a super balanced outline with nice length of neck, firm level topline, moderate spring of rib, short loin & tail set on nice & high. Feminine headpiece with almond shaped eyes which match coat colour & high set ears of correct size. Excellent side gait & carriage, really using herself to advantage. Could be a bit more positive from behind. Very well handled. LB (1) 1 Hamer’s Clarmers Caramel Surprise, 4 years old cream. Pleasing girl to go over but not in full coat right now. Compact outline with moderately short neck, good topline, nice rib & good tail for both set & carriage. Feminine head with excellent ear for size & set. Well constructed forequarters with nice straight forelegs & excellent rear angulation. Moving well all through & another handled so well. OB (3,2) 1 Bradbury’s Wychlea Vixen In The Dark, 3 years old black. Just loved the type of this girl & thought her head & expression delightful; ultra feminine throughout with dark almond shaped eye, correct head proportions & excellent ears for size & set. Balanced outline, compact & almost square, with good neck & tailset on nice & high. First class construction & moves so well when viewed from any angle with typical brisk action of the breed, using herself to advantage at all times. Excellent coat. A well deserved CC on the day.
