Critique

ND (1) 1 Spence’s Spencerian So Macho, shapely cr/sable Klein, good head and eye, smart showman, good topline and side gait, slightly narrow in front, needs to develop in body.

LD (2, 1a) 1 Gibson’s Stairend Roxstar at Kaiaki, well presented Japanese Spitz, quality head, correct neck and shoulder, level topline, perhaps a shade too much hind angulation, brisk mover, good coat texture.

OD (2) 1 Gibson’s Ch Charney Mejiro, another super Japanese Spitz in immaculate condition, very masculine, excellent head and eye, super topline and scored on tail carriage, well bodied, correct hind angles, never stopped showing. A shade more ‘together’ on the move than his son. BNSC; 2 Spence’s Stormavon Sandpiper with Spencerian, cream Klein, excellent head, OK bone, level back, well set tail, not quite the freedom of movement of 1 but made an appealing overall picture. RBD.

PB (1) 1 Ellis’ Bojinghai Song Bird, very much admired this well balanced red Chow pup, super head, clean correct shape eyes, small well carried ears, neck in balance, plenty of bone, short back, well set tail, typical hindquarters, moved soundly, one to watch I thought. BB and BP.

NB (1) 1 Spence’s Spencerian Sexy And I Know It, smart cream Klein, OK head type, short back, good topline, well set tail, steady side movement, a shade upright in front, not in best coat.

PGB (2, 1a) 1 Spence’s Spencerian Starz In Her Eyes, blue Klein, firm body with level topline, arched neck, good bone, brisk side gait, smart showgirl, a shade upright in front.

LB (2) 1 Bailey & Grant’s Leebren Midnight Nite Light, stylish black Schnauzer, feminine head, excels in neck, topline and bend of stifle, real showgirl, steady mover, OK shoulder, upper arm slightly steep but I liked her a lot. RBB; 2 Spence’s Spencerian Doggy Style, very much admired this typy black Klein and it was a hard decision. Appealing head, compactly built, correct coat texture contributing to a lovely outline, well set tail, could be a touch firmer at elbow.

OB (1) 1 Spence’s Seirian Skydancer with Spencerian, attractive brown sable Klein, another attentive showgirl, correct head and eye, good neck, shoulder, body and topline, in good textured coat. Very erratic on the move today and didn’t get into her stride.
