German Spitz Club of Great Britain
3 April 2022

German Spitz Klein

I’d like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge at the Club Open Show, I had a lovely day with an excellent steward and committee members being efficient and supportive.
I was very pleased with my entry of Klein today, the majority of my seen dogs were of high standard with excellent mouths.

Class 1 Veteran dog (4, Ab 2)
1 CH Longsdale’s Let’s Go Trebettyn, cream, almost 9 years old; this boy I have admired from afar and today he didn’t disappoint standing compact with an almost square outline. Correct head and muzzle with beautiful dark eye and pigment. His neck is well set into his moderately sloping shoulders. Well boned straight legs, he’s well ribbed up and rounded with a level top line. Good tail set and beautiful small, rounded cat like feet. This boys movement is outstanding he moves without exaggeration from any angle; straight coming and going. VD BV BVIS
2 Lusam Cheeky Boy, cream, 8 year old male another whose movement I have admired and today his movement was beautiful. He is a joy to go over and extremely well made. Many of one’s attributes unfortunately he stands slightly taller than 1. He throughly enjoyed himself and showed the true confident intelligent and alert nature of the breed.

Moderately sloping shoulder and well ribbed up and rounded. I would have liked more bone on his straight legs. High tail set curling over his back.

Class 6 Limit Dog (3, Ab 1)
1 Wychlea Percy Vehere, Black, 3 year old. This boy came into the ring with the confident, independent nature of the spitz but you could see his devotion to his handler. When he chose to move calmly his side gait was lovely to watch with good reach. He has the correct head, muzzle, eye shape with complete scissor bite. He’s made well with an almost square stand, cat like feet, well ribbed and rounded.
