German Spitz Klein

PD (1) 1 Pallett’s Chilite Shadows Moon, rather erratic moving but saw enough to give him a first. Good to go over, nice body & topline. Tail well over & OK in rear. Out of coat & needs better handling. JD (3) 1 Jackson & Minshall’s Holbain Just Like Bill, lovely boy, superb condition & muscletone, pleasure to go over with lovely wedge shaped head, the blackest of pigment, good legs & tight round feet, in excellent coat, moved to match his build; 2 Withheld, well over size. PGD (3) Two good Spitz. 1 Wright’s Orion Shockwave, liked his head & tight lips, broad jaw. Ears a touch big maybe. Reasonable front but more forechest would improve. Firm level backline & powerful impressive rear. Tail well over & has plenty of coat; 2 Serman’s Rochedo Bill The Badger by Tymy, smart & brisk on the move. Needs more angulation in shoulders. Correct moderate short neck, good behind, well developed body & level back. A nice dog indeed. LD (4) Good class of quality Kleins. 1 Eades’ Seirian Mr Bojangles, good double coat, tail well over back, beautiful head & eyes set well, oval & dark for his colour. Pigment excellent right through, good to go over. Moves a touch close going away; 2 Cook’s Goldritz Stole The Sun, in impressive coat & condition, lovely to feel his muscular quarters. Pigment not quite as good as it perhaps could be & he goes close going away. Lovely body, topline, tail & coat, shows well too; 3 Beck’s Nardik Tiger Woods. OD (5) All 5 super. 5th misbehaving moving, 4th out of coat. 1 Pearce & Francis’ Ch Longsdale’s Willie Win, superb right through, good moderate bend of stifle which is lacking in the breed at present. They are very straight & high in hocks. Great head which would be improved even further with smaller higher placed ears. Super body & angulation both ends, excellent coat texture & well set on tail, moved precisely all round with a typical brisk active trot. CC, BOB & G1; 2 Bradbury’s Ch Wychlea Rhonday Vooh, beautiful wedge shaped head & strong tapering muzzle, good front & forechest, ideal body & level back, enough rear angulation. Goes a wee bit too close in rear going away, otherwise a really top class boy. Immaculate presentation. RCC; 3 Wright’s Ch Minigarden Emil Lovely Boy.

PB (3) Two lovely baby girls. 1 Eades’ Seirian Skyfall, really lovely puppy I could just take home. Super size & overall height to length proportions for age, excellent firm back, good behind & pleasing head. Eyes a wee bit small perhaps. Very settled & free mover. Obviously coat needs to harden up as yet. BP; 2 Serman’s Wychlea Lady In The Mirror by Tymy, much younger in mind. Has her own way of doing things. Very attractive head, eyes & expression, neat erect ears, good front & rear, well set & carried tail. Just needs time to sort her movement out but sound enough, just erratic. JB (0). PGB (2) 1 Bradbury’s Wychlea Vixen In The Dark, smashing black, lovely temperament & outlook, shows her heart out & moves beautifully all round. Liked her head & eyes, set not too wide apart. Ears well up on skull, well bodied, hard muscular quarters, so good going away. In super body & condition, such a lovely girl on the move. CC; 2 Wright’s Chilite Indian Shadow, good rear & body. Front set a little too forward & she moves wide coming towards. Good head, eyes & pigment for colour, tail well over & also a good showgirl. Coat a bit in between but plenty of it. LB (3) 1 Hughes & Forrester’s Tymy Quickstep to Candease, beautiful bitch, typy & well put together, lovely front, shoulder lay & forechest, good body & topline, neat rear, well muscled & conditioned throughout. Out of coat but it does show off her lovely outline. Just a touch off square which is perfect. Grand mover. RCC; 2 Wright’s Chilite Lunar Moon, rather overweight & out of coat but enjoying herself & ready to move out smartly. Tail well over & enough bone for size; 3 Hamer & Hamer’s Lasaulette Tipp Top Tilly of Clarmer. OB (2) 1 May’s Ayupduck Queen Bee, nicely made & moving well in profile & rear. Stands wide in front, pleasing head & shape of skull, neat ears set well up. In good coat but it is a bit too soft; 2 Serman’s Ch Tymy Footsteps, nice quality Spitz, blowing her coat & moving a little too close in rear. Good front, lovely head & expression, cheeky temperament. Tail well over, good legs & feet.
