German Spitz Klein

PD (5,1a) 1 Hamer & Clarmers’ Diamond Mischief Black, correct coat texture, excellent head & earset, square outline with good tailset, well put together which gave him very positive movement BP; 2 Corr’s Crystal Clear Dreamer, similar to above, again nice shape of head & neat ears, well made & good body. Movement a little less positive on the day; 3 Francis, Pearce, Williams & Longsdale’s Lets Go Trebettyn. JD (2) 1 Halligan’s Nardik Eclipse, black, just under the measure, correct head & earset, effusive coat of good texture, good square shape. Very unsure of himself on the day; 2 Lets Go Trebettyn, cream dog, just under the measure, nice head shape, ears could be neater, good coat texture, well bodied & well set tail, moved better in this class. PGD (2) 1 Allison’s Oberitz Thunderbird Black, this boy was reasonable to go over, he has a lovely head with neat ears, square in shape with well set on tail, needs to body up. Unfortunately his front & rear movement let him down; 2 Pallett’s Chilite Shadows M, small square shaped dog, this boy has a good shape & harsh coat, unfortunately he lacks both bone & substance & his movement is not good. LD (5) 1 Jackson & Minshall’s Holbain Just Like Bill, cream. I liked his head & earset, he is very well made & presented, square outline & good tailset, excellent coat texture. Moved well to gain. RCC; 2 Serman’s Rochedo Bill The Badger by Tymy, b/w parti. Up to size. Good in head & ears, dark eye, well put together, square in outline & well set tail, good presentation. Moved reasonably, but needs to settle. Gained this place over 3 who was unsettled on the day; 3 Halligan’s Nardik New Moon at Icabel. OD (2) 1 Corr’s Int Ch Crystalclear Working On A Dream, black, what a good dog to go over. Nothing is overdone. He has an excellent head with neat ears, square in shape & correct tailset. Excellent coat texture & well presented. His good movement gained him the CC; 2 May’s Ayupduck Bees Knees, much to like, well made & presented with correct coat. Moved well but a bit long in body. VD (1) 1 Metcalfe’s Ch Flactem Domino, b/w parti. 9 years young. Such a nice dog who, as always, moved correctly. Lovely head & expression, well made. BV.

PB (6,1) 1 Allison’s Oberitz Candy Melt, black, correctly made, good head, expression & earset. Square in outline, well set on tail & good coat texture; 2 Hill’s Cyfelin Solitaire, b/m sable. Slightly heavier than 1, but in proportion, good earset, well bodied & correct coat, moved well; 3 Hamer & Hamer’s Clarmers Diamond Bear. JB (4,1) 1 Dyer’s Oberitz Sinful Delights at Javarm, brown, excellent head with good earset. Square in shape, good body & excellent tailset & good texture to coat. Moved very well; 2 Hamer’s Clarmers Gems’ A Diamond Black, a tad over the measure, she is so well made, good coat well presented & excellent movement; 3 Godridge’s Lusam Razzle Dazzle.PGB (4,1) 1 Wright’s Chilite Indian Shadow, brown, well made, good head, well set ears, excellent movement & correct coat; 2 Godridge’s Lusam Teazy Weazy, cream, no coat so she was hiding nothing, liked her head & square shape, moved very well; 3 Misra’s Orion Dance With Stars. LB (5) 1 Bradbury’s Wychlea Vixen In The Dark, black, she is lovely to go over, excels in head, ears, body shape & correct tailset. Moved very well; 2 Tullis’ Radajasa Double Agent Nyx, white, similar to 1. She is square in shape, good head & earset, in good coat but on the day did not move as I know she can; 3 Hamer’s Clarmers Caramel Surprise. OB (5) 1 Hughes & Forrester’s Tymy Quickstep to Candease, black, this girl really stood out today. She stands foursquare, correct shaped wedge head & good ear placement. Excellent coat of correct texture, well set tail, good body & her movement won her the CC & BOB. She looked really good in the group; 2 Chamber’s Ch Printzagems Viva La Diva for Musique, smaller type to 1 but a lot to like, she is nicely shaped & has good movement. To be picky I would prefer a bit more foreface; 3 Corr’s Ir Ch Chilite Spirts Wild at Crystalclear.
