Critique

Always an honour to judge my first breed and I thank the exhibitors for their entries and accepting my placings.
German Spitz (Klein)
PB: Godridge’s Isilme Lady Of Rivendale. Orange sable 6 month old at her first show and she took it all in her stride, demonstrating oodles of personality. Good dentition and ideal head proportions. Correct eye size and placement. Well rounded ribs and neat tuck up. Neat feet and well muscled rear. Coat just coming through. Such a shame she lifts the measure.BP.
PGB:1. Godridge’s Isilme Dazzle Me. Shaded Sable. Very alert young lady and so clearly full of mischief. Lovely neat ears and well proportioned head. Level topline that she held on the move. Tight well set tail. Good movement front and rear from well muscled quarters. Very balanced outline. RBB
2. Mellows Nirvarna Sunset At Bellapip. B/W Particolour. Well presented with profuse coat. Neat bite. Head not as well proportioned as 1. Neat ears. Good rib and ideal length to loin. Not so confident on the move today and tended to drop her tail.Sympathetically handled.
OB: Godridge’s Lusam Teazy Weazy. 5 year old Gold lady. Another very confident girl from this kennel. Loved her typical Spitz head with broad yet feminine skull and dark sparkling eyes. Good rib and good strength to loin. Strong muscular well angulated rear giving neat rear action but in breed class she tended to look up at her handler thus spoiling front movement. However in the big Group ring she pulled out all the stops to show her true front movement and was shortlisted in a strong Utility Group. BOB.
