German Spitz Klein

PD (1) 1 Allison & Hinks’ Oberitz Buzz Lightyear, lovely pup to start with. Correct wedge shape to skull, enough neck, true front & well bodied for age, very precise mover all round & in excellent coat. Really well developed puppy, very promising. JD (3) 1 Shepherd’s Chilite Indian Chief, gorgeous little boy, I loved his head, medium sized oval eyes, good pigment for colour, neat erect ears, sound front & rear, tail set & carried nicely over, in good coat & sound legs & tidy feet. CC; 2 Halligan’s Nardik New Moon at Icabel, massive coat which does tend to obscure his outline. Nice to go over, good legs & feet. A little more forward in shoulders than 1. Immaculate presentation & so attractive in head & expression. PGD (2) 1 Mowatt & Mandeville’s Tabanyaruu Zinspecta Cludo, neat & cheeky, beautiful head & oval eyes, ears very erect. A touch narrow across the chest. Correct length of foreleg to chest depth & height, excellent body, firm backline, powerful quarters for a tiny & he moves very well in front & profile. In lovely coat; 2 Clarke & Clarke’s Stonelight Ricochet, well handled & presented, over sized but still well balanced for proportions. Moved truly all round, good strong legs & tight feet, a handy dog to own.LD (1) 1 Allison’s Oberitz Sunshine, smart, broad skull, wedge shaped to nose. Just a wee bit too much chin. Good front & forechest, solid bone, super body & ribbing, strong rear, nicely set on tail, immaculate coat & presentation, really straight mover holding perfect topline. OD (4) Two nice boys. 1 Highmoor’s Printzagems Verve, lovely proportions of backskull to muzzle, tapering nicely, dark oval eyes, ears very erect. Stands a bit wide in front. Super body, very precise side & rear gait, lovely coat & tail. A really good quality dog. RCC; 2 Hill & Gilraine’s Ch Cyfelin Rudna Romeo, not the rear of 1 & rather cow hocked. Appealed for head & expression, good bone & small cat feet, compact body. Topline could be more level. Well set tail & a sharp profile over.

PB (2) 1 Allison’s Oberitz Cocoa Bean, beautiful head & eyes, ears set well where she beat 2. Enough neck, OK in front. Could perhaps have a touch more angulation behind even for a moderately angulated breed. Excellent body, ribbing, short loin & tail set well up. BP; 2 Carter’s Dajelilne Ace Of Hearts, compact & stands foursquare, neat mover. Preferred head & more erect ears of 1 but this youngster is a nice bitch & has many good qualities. So well handled & presented. JB (1) 1 Rogerson’s Terendak Desirabubble, exquisite head, eyes & expression, perfect mouth, neat ears. Rather a forward shoulder & would like to feel some forechest. Good bone & tidy feet, excellent body & rear. Moved a little close coming towards. Ideal coat & outline. PGB (2) Both out of coat. 1 Hill’s Cyfelin Rudna Juliet, attractive head, neat erect ears, OK in front, correct depth & width of chest. Moved a touch close going away. Good size & bone quality; 2 Kettle-White’s Lusam Spic ‘N’ Span, not quite bone of 1 & moved close going away. I admired her head & general deportment, level backline & tail set well up, gorgeous colour too. LB (3) 1 Delve’s Ciaran Pavlova, not in her best jacket but her build, bone & feet were of the best. Compact & well knit, very Spitzlike in head & expression, neat small triangular ears, very precise & brisk mover too; 2 Chambers’ Printzagems Viva La Diva for Musique, appeared for compact & short coupled body, neat & well put together. Her feet are a little long & 1 has a bit more extension in profile movement. In better coat. OB (5) 1 Pearce & Francis’ Ch Longsdale’s Jen You Win, very close between 1 & 2. Both beauties. Lovely head but would like her ears up a wee bit more. Good front, ideal body & rear angulation, well set tail, really excellent mover all round & full of quality; 2 Moir’s Stormavon Sky Flyer to Jansaniels, slightly better ears but just a mite longer in body compared to her height. Superb movement all round, enchanting head & expression, so well handled & presented; 3 Garwood’s Printzagems Tantalize.
