German Spitz Klein

PD (3) 1 Beard’s Wyndlee Cam En Bear, presents a very pleasing outline, good head with neat ears. Scored here on maturity of body, well ribbed with moderate tuck-up. Level topline with high set, well carried tail. BP; 2 Lewis’ Indizak Hakuna Matata at Louchelle, just a baby & very promising as he has a grand temperament & is a good showman. Pleasing head with a lovely dark expressive eye. Excellent coat. Good balance & decent ribbing for age; 3 Roberts’ Oberitz Vanadinite. JD (1) 1 W Cam En Bear. PGD (2) 1 Pearce, Francis & Williams’ Longsdale’s Let’s Go Trebettyn, lots of quality, good head properties with excellent pigmentation. Adequate bone, good legs & feet & very true on the move. Good barrel, high set tail. Shown in good coat & presented to advantage; 2 Holmes & Leadbetter’s Birlington Bertie Of Bow, not quite the finish of the winner & just a shade heavier in ear although this doesn’t detract from his good expression & dark well set eye. Well bodied with good forehand & decent ribbing. Moves well with an easy action. OD (5) 1 Jackson & Minshall’s Holbain Just Like Bill, beautifully balanced, pleasing head with dark eye & very good depth of pigmentation. Some forechest, well ribbed with high set tail & good topline. Moved well with a sound effortless action. BD; 2 Cook’s Goldritz Stole The Sun, shown in good coat which was well presented & he does make the most of himself. Pleasing head. Well balanced with good rib & topline. Fair hind angulation with good muscletone. Very good hind action. RBD; 3 Hamer’s Clarmers Diamond Mischief.

PB (2,1) 1 Williams’ Stormavon Silverangel at Megahra, a lovely youngster of just 10 months, neat ears, darkest of eyes, pleasing expression. Well balanced with good ribbing & high set tail. Sound & typical on the move. JB (1) 1 Williams’ Foxy Nose Zahra at Megahra, very pretty & feminine, pleasing eye, fairly neat ears, well ribbed with a short strong loin. Moved well behind just a little untidy in front. PGB (3) 1 Hamer’s Clarmers Diamond Bear, a good quality bitch, pleasing for size & balance with a grand head, flattish skull, neat ears, very good body with high set, well carried tail. Good forehand. Sound both ways & pleasing in profile; 2 Wright’s Chilite Indian Shadow, just a fraction longer cast than the winner but very typical & good on the move, well ribbed & shown in good coat; 3 Hawker’s Chilite Top Dollar. OB (4) 1 Pearce & Francis’ Ch Longdale’s Jen You Win, beautifully made & very impressive on the move with a light buoyant action. Very good head with a keen intelligent expression. Excellent forehand & very good body with good ribbing & a high set, well carried tail. Perhaps not in the fullest of coat but it is a decent texture & she has nothing to hide. BB & BOB; 2 Bradbury’s Wychlea Vixen In The Dark, a complete contrast in colour to the winner but she too is teeming with type & quality, very good head & expression with neat ears. Good forehand, nice barrel & well set tail. Absolutely sound on the move with an easy brisk action. Good coat texture. RBB; 3 Hamer’s Clarmers Caramel Surprise.
