KLEIN:

Vet D (2) 1 and Res CC, Allison’s Ch Oberitz Galaxy Romeo. 7 and a half years and still wonderfully fit and well. Lovely head and muzzle is a good length. Enough neck, super front and well made square proportions of body, neat rear and a stiff, standoff coat. Moved well and has the typical bustle of the breed on the move. Ears a touch rounded perhaps. 2 Hawker’s Ch Chilite Navajo. Another with a most lovely head and perfectly erect ears. Not quite the front or rear movement of the winner, but again a marvellous body. Perfect mouth and, for his age, the most amazing condition.

PD (3) 1 and Best Puppy, Allison’s Edburton Cadan for Oberitz. Too Pom like in type and size, but I made him just within the 9”. Not enough of him anywhere and he needs more bone too. Nice shape, shows and moves well and carries himself nicely. 2 Withheld. Far over the height limit though a pleasing dog elsewhere.

JD (1) 1 Hill’s Enzo Z Temnych Noci at Cyfelin (Imp). Most gorgeous Keeshond colour. Good head and tight lips, neat small triangular ears. OK in front and bone, angulation at rear a little less than moderate. Well set tail. Moved smartly and in beautiful coat and muscular condition.

PGD (5) 1 Stannard’s Lusam Davey Dingle at Ulmarra. A lovely dog to go over and he moved as well as he handled. Out of coat on the day which was a shame. I loved his true type in head, neat erect ears and enough neck to carry himself proudly. Excellent body and depth, nice quarters and absolutely spot on all ways moving. 2 Parden’s Desaria Sky Lark mit Dunbrook. In a little better coat and also appealed for his nice square construction, grand legs and feet and perfect topline and well curled tail. Thought his muzzle too short and wide and it could taper better, his ears were set a little too wide apart. Smart mover. 3 Dyer’s Wychlea Sailor Vee at Javarm.

LD (5) 1 Serman’s Tymy Tymajusting. CC and Best of Breed, I never caught this boy standing less than four square. His quarters were quite superb, packed with muscle and a perfect body and topline. Ideal tailset on. Pleasing head and tapering muzzle, neat small ears and enough neck for a good head carriage. Super brisk ‘bustling’ mover and absolutely dead true too. Excellent harsh coat and a good undercoat, but would like a little more. 2 Hawker’s Chilite Smokin Joe. Great temperament and he seemed to be laughing all the time! Super head too and holds himself together very well indeed. Also well bodied and a good coat and tail. A bit bossy at the elbows and moves too wide coming towards, otherwise close up. 3 Penwarne’s Runfold Kestrel at Sheldamar.

OD (5) 1 Allison’s Terelatim Windy Millar. Needs more muscle and exercise but it does not reflect in his movement, as it was perfectly straight coming and going ad an effortless brisk mover in profile. Would like more length to his muzzle to balance backskull, which is moderate. A lovely coat. 2 Kimber and Brigden’s Ch Wychlea Ludo at Stonelight. Also in super coat and condition, a beautiful head and tapering wedge shape overall to head. Good body which on first sight seemed too long, but it is his wealth of coat over thighs which gives this impression. Disappointing up and down mover, otherwise close to the winner. 3 Furber’s Oberitz Cozmopolitan at Holbain.

Vet B (1) 1 Trendle’s Ch Lusam Beatty Romanze. Such a gassy girl, so smart and in lovely body and condition. Pleasing proportions, great topline and good legs, her feet are tight and well knuckled. Lovely expressive eye and enquiring expression.

PB (5) 1 Storm’s Dourhu Miss Dynamite of Stormavon. A nice black, promising but still obviously immature. Strides out well and is relatively sound. Sweet head and expression, neat small ears and a good tail. Coat still a bit soft of course. 2 Hill’s Edburton Llyngoes at Cyfelin. Lovely in profile movement but up and down can still improve. Close behind and knits in front. Again a nice type and her head is good, enough neck and smashing body and coat. 3 Serman’s Tymy Tymarekiya.

JB (6) 1 Goodwin’s Roydenzone Just Jay. Pretty black with a pleasing temperament and striding out briskly in profile. I thought her proportions of height to length better than the second. Good length of foreface, ok in bone and tight feet. Well set tail, immature but promising. 2 Dyer’s Oberitz Lady Illusion at Javarm. Much more of a baby, even than the winner. Her tail is not set so high and she is out at the elbows. Also a pleasing head, nice backskull and defined stop. Excellent topline and a lovely white colour.

PGB (8) 1 and CC, Breen’s Kylecroft Symphony. Outstanding in this class, still in need of more coat but her head, outline and general make and shape were really good all round. She shows well, has a wonderful tail and is so true and precise on the move. 2 Holmes’ Oberitz Fiery Fox. Also a nice quality bitch, she was half in and half out of coat, when finished it will not make her appear overlong as she is ok to go over. Sound legs and feet and a good wedge shaped head and muzzle. 3 Beck’s Nardick Sugar and Spice.

LB (8) 1 Avery’s Kartmel Breezer. Not an easy class. The winner grew on me as the class progressed. Shows well and moves correctly in front from a moderately laid back shoulder. Good level backline. Lovely head and eyes, in good coat and has a smashing tail. Hocks could be stronger. 2 Breen’s Hasweth Shady Lady at Kylecroft. A bit out of coat and I would prefer less prominent eyes. She is nice to go over, powerful in the rear and has a good tail. Excellent legs and feet. Could converge a little more coming towards. 3 Salisbury’s Teomakliens Lady Penelope,

OB (7) 1 and Res CC, Allison’s Fin Ch Cadinan Peggy Lady of Oberitz (Imp). In superb coat, hard and stand off with an excellent undercoat. A true Spitz outline and head, sharp small triangular and erect ears and a wedged head. Good bone and feet, well bodied and a good tight tail. Moved a wee bit wide coming towards but a correct, brisk stride in profile. 2 Bradbury’s Ch Wychlea Aimy Vooh. Another lovely black, as I seemed to like most of the blacks on the day! Close up to the winner, but not the coat texture. Smart mover with an excellent head and muzzle and well carried tail. 3 Serman’s Shetlock Infatuation Among Tymy.
