GERMAN SPITZ - KLEIN

---

 

I enjoyed doing the breed again after quite a long time but it was a pity there were some absentees which reduced the entry to quite a small one. Thank you to my stewards who had the unenviable task of finding exhibitors without the aid of benching. 
PD (2) 1 Andrew Claran Court Your Breath In excellent coat for one so young and of a very pale colour, bordering on white. Good for size with a pleasing head and expression, dark eyes, good bite and super pigmentation. Well balanced and short coupled with high set tail and good legs and feet. True on the move in both directions. Res CC & B Puppy 2. Chambers Clarant Court You Looking For Musique Very confident litter brother to winner. Larger in statuyre with a nice head and neck. Well boned and has good tail set. Preferred the ribbing and couplings of the winner. OK on the move but does need to settle. 
JD 3 (2) 1. Rogerson Nosregor Take It All Solid black in decent jacket. Correct head, nice eyes and well set ears. Balanced in outline with good front angulation. Well sprung ribbing of nice length, a shade fine in bone. Moved satisfactorily. 
LD 2 (1) 1 Chambers Bemojo Pearls Of Wisdom At Musique White in good textured full jacket Pleasing in head type with excellent dark nose and eyes. Perfect bite. Lovely angulation at the front and stands foursquare on good legs and feet. Has just enough neck, is well ribbed and on the move at the correct pace was true in both directions with good drive and perfect footfall. CC & BOB. 
OD 3 (1) 1 Chambers Ch. Musique Born Legacy Well coated white of good size without being too big. Loved his head with correct skull and ears. Nicely made in front and with good ribbing. Pleasing tail set. Not quite as positive as he might be in rear movement but deserves his title. 3 Holman Yamakasi Imp Black in nice coat. Head is nice for skull but may have a tad too much stop to his shortish muzzle. I prefer a slightly more open eye shape. Nice mouth. Well boned and short backed. Somewhat shorter in the leg than most and a bit lazy with his pasterns today which did not help stature. 
VB (2) Both of these bitches are a credit to their owners and the breed I really liked them both.1. Serman Wychlea Lady in the Mirror by Tymy Born in 2012 she will shortly be 11 years young, belied her age and could bounce and always land foursquare. Black fully coated with a little bit of silver now to enhance her outline. Pleasing head type and full dentition. Neatest of ears, good neck and topline, well sprung and pleasing on the move. Res CC & Best Veteran 2. Cooper & Critchlow Oberitz Sweet N Spicy For Pavoskas. Brown in lovely coat, with absolutely typical pigmentation for the colour. Nicely made all through with a typical head and finely boned. Good tail set and nice on the move. 
JB 2 (1) Rogerson Nosregor Easy On Me At 16 months she still has some body development to come Pleasing skull to muzzle relationship, dark eyes and perfect bite. Good for neck and front construction with pleasing ribbing. Nice tail set and ok on the move but did not settle happily into a proper rhythm. 
PGB 1 Griffiths Ruskies Athena Somewhat sdmall black/white particolour in lovely coat. Pleasing head with flattering markings. Well ribbed which are rather well covered. Just enough bone. I would prefer a higher set on of tail. Not moving at her best today and wonder if this is due to weight. 
OB 5 (3) 1 Slack Fecimus One Of Us Well coated sable with profuse featherings. Correct for head type with fantastic pigmentation and eye colour. Lovely front construction with correct angulation and excellent ribbing carried well back. Beautifully carried tail, correct legs and tight feet. Really good on the move. CC 2. Rogerson Nosregor Sister Sledge I really liked this pale coloured three year old but she had left her coat at home which detracted from the overall picture. So sound to go over and very typical for type, a lovely mover and must do so well when in full coat.
