German Spitz Klein

VD (0). MPD (1) 1 Hughes & Forrester’s Cyfelin Lysander at Candease, black baby pup, promising shape & size. Good angulation & neck. Promising wedge shaped head, flat skull correct muzzle. Confident character. Little loose on move, especially behind – should firm up as matures. BP. PD (2) 1 Roberts’ Oberitz Vanadinite, brown of good size. Attractive head, high set ears, though skull a little round. Good coat & short back. Needs to develop in chest, moves ok in profile but loose in front; 2 Quinn’s Cherokee Take It Easy, attractive parti, smaller framed & very compact. Excellent coat & presentation. Eyes were rather large & round affecting expression. Ears could be set higher. Needs to tighten on move. JD (2) 1 Pearce, Francis & Williams’ Longsdale’s Lets Go Trebettyn, cream dog with lovely black pigment, lovely outline, compact shape, just lacking coat as is typical at this age. Very good angulation. Without coat ears look little large. Moved OK in profile but little loose behind; 2 Thomas & Welch’s Double Trouble The Small Step from Indizak, correct wedge head, flat skull & high set ears. Attractive b/t colour, excellent coat. Shoulder angle rather steep & this created the high step movement seen from side & loose coming.
