VB. (2). 1. Bradbury’s, Ch. Wychlea Anne Versary JW. 8 years old black bitch of superb type and quality in stance she is the blueprint for how all German Spitz should look. Well balanced substanital and with a correct Spitz head. Moved out with a super sound pace. Was delighted to award her CC. 2. Allison’s, Ch. Rossfort Violetta of Terelatim. 10 years old bitch of good sound type. Good coat and condition with good substance. Moved well for her age. She is a credit to her owner and another Klein that is hard to fault. I would urge all Klein breeders to look carefully at these older examples of the breed who have all the qualities so many of today’s Klein’s are lacking.
