Critique

J D (1)
1st LONGSDALE'S BLAME IT ON ME (PEARCE & FRANCIS) CC BOB

Smart and sound moving. He has the most attractive head and expressive eyes. Uses his ears which are set well up on skull. Sound true front, well bodied, and excels behind. A future star I’m certain.

LD (2)
1st LONGSDALE HEAT OF THE MOMENT (PEARCE & FRANCIS) R CC

Just moves rather narrow both ways, but he felt fine to go over. Maybe a little more muscle would widen him. Great head and pigment, eyes set well and of good shape. Enough neck, moderately short. Keeps his topline, and tail well over. Correct side gait too. Well presented.

O D (3)
1st MONTBLANC BJORN IRONSIDE AT ORION (WRIGHT)

Much too close coming and going and very stilted in profile movement. He looked like a proper Spitz standing and has a lovely head, correct stop, good square proportions, a harsh coat, and well set and carried tail.

2nd PERRYMERE JUST BERTIE JW (JACKSON & MINSHALL)

Sounder moving, but he is too “Pommy” and very short in neck. True front and rear, and a neat outline right through.

VD (1)
1st NARDIK NEW MOON AT ICABEL JW SHCM ( WRIGHT)

Amazing condition for 9 as he is fit and moving beautifully. Lovely head and pigment, good to go over and in super body. Masses of coat makes him appear neckless, but of course the neck should not be too long.

Good Citizen D (1)
1st STORMAVON SANDPIPER WITH SPENCERIAN SHCM (SPENCE)

Smart and moving well in profile, with not too long a stride. Liked his head and ear set Lovely in body, short coupled, stands well and is interested in the proceedings. Moved a touch close coming and going.

P B (1)
1st CLARAN STEPNOUT WITH LONGSDALE (PEARCE & FRANCIS) B PUPPY

She just tends to be puppyish, lifting her front legs too high on the move. True and accurate up and down. Lovely head, eyes and expression are very cheeky. Neat erect ears, good lay of shoulder, with moderate angulation, and matching her rear well. Very promising indeed.

J B (2)
1st RADAJASAÆS BLACK PEARL WITH SOBRIETY (ORR)

Quite “Spitzy” I thought, and standing looked good. Pleasing head and pigment, maybe a little over short in neck. Sound legs and tidy feet. She moves too close in front and rear, otherwise a nice exhibit.

P G B (1)
1st RADAJASAÆS NOOR KHAN FOR SOBRIETY (ORR)

Her head is too domed, with too much stop and a weak muzzle. Good sound front, and her body is excellent all through. Level in back, enough angulation in rear, and a well set tail. Moved precisely

L B (2)
1st SPENCERIAN DOGGY STYLE SHCM (SPENCE) 
R CC

Really likable quality bitch, super to go over, and excellent proportions of height to length. Good in head with wedge shaped outline of head, good length of muzzle, and well set eyes. OK in front and she is beautifully muscled, she does tend to move a little too close behind, which seems a breed failing at this time. In lovely coat too.. Hope to see her a Champion soon.

2nd CLARAN COURT OF DREAMS (ANDREW)

Not in her best coat today, as it is very soft. Showing well, great outline in profile, also moves too close going away. Bouncy and full of herself. Nice in outline and tail carriage.

O B (4)
1st CH LONGSDALE'S DILEMMA ( PEARCE & FRANCIS) CC

A lovely Klein in full coat. Again moving close behind, but otherwise I loved her. Excellent front and moderate forechest. Level back. Longer in forelegs than her depth of chest which is correct, but difficult to detect as she is in full coat. Pleasing head and expression, deep pigment, well set and carried tail. Carries herself proudly.

2nd CH NOSREGOR LIES'N'DECEET ( ROGERSON)

Showing and moving well for her young handler, good head and muzzle.Neat ears. A touch long in back maybe. Otherwise impressive and deserving her title.

3rd ORION CHLOE MAY ( WRIGHT)
