PD (2,1a) 1 Serman’s Printzagems Late Arrival for Tymy, 11 months mature youngster. Correct well muscled rearquarters. Overall balance good, nice topline, tailset & carriage. Pleasing in shoulder & front with tidy feet. Pleasing head with good expression & not overdone in any way. Moved well.

JD (1) 1 Chambers’ Jansanleis Hot ‘n’ Happening for Musique, mature 14 month old, presented in excellent condition. Most pleasing in outline & did not disappoint on the table. Excellent in eye, with correct ears, nicely set giving a most pleasing expression. Good shoulders, correct front & feet. Correct topline when standing & on the move, correct hindquarters. I felt that for overall breed type & condition that he well deserved the RCC.

PGD (1) 1 Bamford’s Kysiena Spring Tide at Hazdawn, much to like about this 2 year old who of is of good breed type. Fine for size & presented in firm condition. Head balance fine, but would prefer a better eye. Nice for balance, neck & topline, with good tailset & carriage. Very good rearquarters, well muscled. Excellent in shoulder, straight front, & quite true in movement.

LD (1) 1 Bamford’s Applebanks Goldfinger at Hazdawn, overall good balance giving a pleasing outline. Tidy head, dark eye, good expression. Good body shape & correct topline standing & on the move, with good tailset & carriage at all times. Fine in shoulder & front straight, good rearquarters. In movement rear fine, but a tad close in front.

OD (3) 1 Pearce & Francis’ Ch Londsdales Willie Win, liked very much this cream for his general overall breed type. Pleasing balanced head with nice dark eye, well set ears all giving a true spitz expression. Body construction excellent, correct neck that fits in nicely with overall balance. Good topline & tailset, along with super tail carriage both standing & on the move. Nice hindquarters, shoulders & straight front. Correct tight feet. Moved very well. Very much a showboy & while not in his very best coat, I still considered him more than worthy of the CC; 2 Serman’s Ch Rochedo Bill The Badger by Tymy, another ch well worthy of his title. Very nice balance throughout. Pleasing head & expression, good body shape, level topline &, like winner, excellent tailset, carriage & hindquarters. Felt today that he just lacked that extra sparkle of the winners movement.

PB (3) 1 Bradbury’s Printzagems Third Degree by Wychlea, excellent in head, dark eye, sweet expression. Pleasing overall balance, good shoulders, front & hindquarters. Correct in body shape, moved nicely front, rear & side; 2 Mellor’s Nirvarna Sunset, presented with care & consideration by her young handler.  Excellent coat with well bodied condition. Pleasing in outline with correct length of neck that fitted in with overall balance. Nice topline, firm hindquarters, good shoulders, front & feet. Just lacked the tailset & tail carriage of winner; 3 Pearce & Francis’ Fecimus That’s How You Know Longsdale.

JB (2,1) 1 Gillies’ Kartmel If You Dare, 13 month with good outline. Pleasing in head with nice ears that could have been used to better advantage. Fine in body shape, level topline with nice set tail. Rear well muscled & not overdone. Excellent in front & feet. Still needs to just settle a shade in movement.

LB (3) 1 Bradbury’s Oberitz Topsy Turvy for Wychlea, loved the overall head of this girl, dark eye, & nice ears, all giving such a super expression. Balanced neck to body that’s correct in shape. Fine in topline, tail set & carriage, good hindquarters that are not over angulated. Most pleasing shoulders, correct in bone with tight well shaped feet. Moved very well & should, I feel, have a very bright future. Most pleased to award her the RCC; 2 Bamford’s Applebanks Skype At Midnight, while she has a nice head I felt on the day she just lacked the expression of winner. Nice neck, good topline & very high tailset, giving excellent carriage. Overall size & balance good, moved soundly in front & rear; 3 Avery’s Aveka’s Estrellita.

OB  (3) 1 Pearce & Francis’ Ch Longdales Jen You Win, loved the overall quality of this showgirl both on floor & table. Presented in nice condition, she has the air of quality & seems to know it, & also understands the rewards that teamwork with handler brings. Scores highly for overall balance. So nice in head, not overdone in any way, dark eye, well set & used ears, correct in neck that fits nicely into a well shaped body of correct length. Good tailset with excellent carriage. Firm rear, most pleasing in shoulder, front & feet. Moved with style & total freedom from rear, side & front. Most pleased to award her the CC & BOB & later under judge Peter Radley I was delighted to see her win the group & then go RBI under another highly respected judge, Jack Bispham. What an outstanding lady of whom I understand the breed are extremely proud. Congratulations; 2 Pearce & Francis’ Longsdale Feel Free To Stare, another quality Klein, of nice balance throughout. While I find her correct in head I felt that she lacked the super expression of my RCC winner. Presented in excellent condition she benefits from good fore & hindquarters, nice feet & good movement; 3 Bamford’s Applebanks April Showers at Hazdawn.
