GERMAN SPITZ - KLEIN

PD (2). 1. Jackson & Minshall's  Perrymere Just Bertie. 8mths. and what a cracker!! Correct size and beautifully balanced having just the right substance coupled with a full coat to complete the picture. Well made with good angulation to both front and rear quarters. Proportionate head set off with dark eye and lovely expression, neat and well set ears. Smooth and effortless brisk action. (Best Puppy & Reserve Dog CC - also taking Group 4 in Puppy Group). 2. Sutherland's  Cyfelin Man In Black. 7mths. Standing well with good coat but not quite the substance of no.1. Lovely front construction with correct shoulder and firm elbows, proportionate rear. Short straight back with high set tail carried over it. Slightly unsettled at first when moving but producing light and nimble action towards the end. 

JD (1). 1. Hill's  Fernando Z Temnych Noci at Cyfelin (Imp). Plenty of him - Cream Sable dog in firm condition with proportionate bone. Well constructed quarters with ample muscle tone, neat rounded feet. Short level back with well developed loin. Expressive head features with good ear set. A little unsettled on the move. 

PGD (3 ,1 1. Hughes & Forrester's Indizak Shades of Winter In Candease Sh. CM. Another standing slightly tall for me but in good coat with ample substance. Well developed quarters with good muscle tone. Body well ribbed up and rounded with nice tuck-up and good tail carriage. Moved out smoothly with brisk action. 2. Sutherland's Chilite Chogan. Similar to no.1 in relation to height but not the substance. Showing well in full coat but straighter in front assembly resulting in a shorter brisk stride and not quite as smooth in action. 

LD (2). 1. Serman's  Printzagems Late Arrival for Tymy. A compact male of correct size and proportions, with almost square outline. Good coat and texture, alert and full of confidence. Balanced head with ample width to skull. Expressive dark eyes and well placed ears used to good effect. Well boned and placed quarters maintaining a level top-line throughout. Smooth and effortless action covering the ground well. (Dog CC). 2. Dyer & Orr's - Musique Wishful Thinking JW. Marginally tall but in excellent full coat with ample substance. Well ribbed with moderate tuck-up and level top-line. Slightly more upright in front assembly than no.1, but good bone and muscle to quarters with moderate angulation to the rear. Moved with typical brisk action although slightly short in forward reach.

OD (5). 1. Dyer's - Ch.Oberitz Curiousity at Javarm. Good overall balance and size presenting the desired outline with ample substance. Well furnished with good full coat. Correct boning to quarters with good angulation to both front and rear. Elbows close to body and in line with brisket - moderate tuck-up. Positive brisk movement. 2. Jackson & Minshall's - Ch.Holbain Just Like Bill. Another good example of the breed with many of the attributes of No.1 and really pushed him all the way. Lovely coat and texture with good head and eye but to split hairs the movement was not quite as positive. 3. Lewis's - Indizak Hakuna Matata at Louchelle Sh.CM. 

PB (3 , 1). 1. Corr's - Crystal Clear Angus Brown. 11mths. Almost at the end of puppy presenting a balanced picture with good overall size and coat.

Moon's - Galvizach Ellexia. 7mths. Still coming together but having a balanced head with expressive dark eyes. Sound body of correct size and substance with level top-line. Quarters developing being a little loose in front and thereby not quite as positive on the move
