GERMAN SPITZ - KLEIN

---

 

A small entry, but the quality was excellent. 
PD (2) Two very attractive puppies. 1 Bemojo Pearls of Wisdom at Musique. Crème dog of excellent size and type. Excellent head, eyes and ears. Excellent pigmentation. Used his neck well. Well bodied for his age. Firm topline, excellent tailset. Moderate amount of bone. Moved well from all angles. Best Puppy. 2 Radajasa’s Agent Hamish at Brookwell. A typical, masculine dog, a little longer cast. Anotehr with a typical head, but larger ears. Excellent reach of neck, stood well over his front. Excellent tailset. Beautiful coat. Moved very well from the side, but could improve coming and going. 
JD (1) 1 Longsdale’s Cesar Chance. A sable dog well up on legs, decidedly square in his proportions. Typical head, beautiful eye and expression. Used his neck well. Firm topline, short loin, well set and carried tail. Needs to develop in forechest and body, but still stood well over his legs and feet. Coat under development Moved soundly and well synchronized from all angles and with an attractive carriage. 
OD (4) 1 Ch Longsdale Willie Win JW Truly a top class crème dog. At eleven years old, he is not just in amazing condition, he is also an outstanding and extraordinary representative of his breed and sex. Very well balanced, very well constructed, square and with excellent make, shape and body proportions. Lovely head with ideal proportions, excellent ears. He used his well-set neck to his advantage. Excellent topline, tailset, front and rear angulation. Lovely coat. The best mover of them all going around, beating dogs much less than half his age. What is there not to like and enjoy about this dog? CC & BOB 2 Ch. Musique Born Legacy. White dog of excellent type and quality. Well balanced and well proportioned. Masculine typical head with small ear, if a little wide-set. Very good rise of neck. Firm topline. Well set tail. Excellent coat and colour. Moved very well, still not like the winner. ResCC. 3 Ch Radajasa’s Henri Fiocca at Delgray. 
VD (1) 1 Lusam Cheeky Boy. At 8 ½ years old, this dog is in excellent condition. There is however more of him than what I prefer. Strong head, well proportioned and fitting the rest of the dog. Well constructed. Excellent topline and tailset. In a profuse coat, he does not need quite as much. Moved parallel coming and going, well balanced form the side. 
PB (1) 1 Longsdale’s No More The Fool. Instantly attractive bitch, very pleasing in her proportions. Very feminine head with excellent expression from her dark and well shaped eyes. Not the smallest of ears. She made good use of her neck. Excellent topline and tailset. Balanced angulation both ends. In a modest coat of excellent structure that suited her very well. Energetic, active and sound in movement. 
LB (1) 1 Jayfeather Parti Light Big and strong white and black parti bitch, just feminine enough. Strong head, wide-set ears. Very moderate neck. Firm topline. Well set tail. Stronger in body than what I prefer. Could do with some more angulation behind. Normal mover from all angles. 
OB (2) Two lovely bitches, similar in quite a few ways. 1 Ch Longsdale Dilemma. Black bitch, seven years old, very well balanced and proportioned and of excellent breed type. Attractive head, very good ears, a bit round in eyes. She made very good use of her moderate neck. Strong topline, good tailset. Rich coat, I would not want any more. Sound, effortless and balanced mover. CC. 2 Orku Harmione Granger with Longsdale. Many of the same remarks can be made about this excellent black bitch, especially for her lovely qualities such as make, shape and proportions, but also for the eyes. Not quite as confident as the winner, a bit stressed in movement, if not much. Also marginally longer cast, but still an excellent bitch of excellent breed type and not much between the two of them. Res CC. 
VB (2) 1 Lusam Toodle Pip Sh.CM A compact wolf-coloured bitch of very pleasing shape and type, but I would prefer her a bit more up on legs. Strong bitch head, very good ears. Would prefer stronger pasterns. Deep and capacious body. Very pleasing topline. Well set tail. Moved quite soundly from all angles. 2 Lusam Spic’N’ Span. Thirteen year old bitch with very pleasing proportions, square. Attractive head, but has lost some of her expression. Used her neck well and is still animated at such a high age, impressive! Excellent topline. Attractive colour.
