BEST IN SHOW went to the Mittel IZLOU YOU KNOW YOU LOVE ME OF CLARAN. Black male 3 years old who has matured since I last judged him. He is of good breed type with masculine shaped head, expressive well shaped eyes, neat ears and correct bite. He has a well made body with balanced angulation front and rear giving pleasing outline. Moved well in all directions.

RESERVE BEST IN SHOW was the Klein Ch LONGSDALE’S REMEMBER ME. Very pretty brown bitch who is well made with plenty of bone for size.  Soundly made body with good neck, level topline and high set tail giving balanced silhouette. Excellent coat so well presented. Just preferred the side movement of winner.

BEST PUPPY IN SHOW was the Klein. CLARAN EDGE OF GLORY. Black male just 7 months old. He is well within size having the correct short coupled sound body with enough bone for his size. His head is neat and wedge shaped with excellent eye of dark colour topped by well shaped ears. He moved well. His coat is well fitting and of good texture.

RESERVE BEST PUPPY IN SHOW. LINDCOLY TRUST IN ME TAF. Blue sable Mittel bitch who is of pleasing type. She is feminine without losing substance. She is compact with a good proportioned body throughout she did however stand overstretched on the floor which gave the impression she is longer than she is. She has an appealing head with pigment appropriate to her coat colour. Carries a good coat. She moved soundly and showed well.

BEST VETERAN IN SHOW. CH LONGDSDALE’S WILLIE WIN JW. Cream Klein male of excellent condition for 13 years of age. He has a lovely head with neat ears and retains good correct dentition. He has a well made body shape with balanced moderate angulation and is short coupled with high set tail giving excellent outline. His good feet and legs allow him to move with correct brisk action.

German Spitz Club of Gt Britain championship show 3rd November 2024.
I had the honour of judging the handling classes at the show. I have to say we have some excellent handlers. I had two first time handlers in the ring. It’s nice to see the youngsters taking part.
6-11yes (3,1)
1 Emilie Rose Monks aged 10. Her first time in the handling ring. She was a bit nervous. She had a good rapour with her dog. She mad a few mistakes but with guidance and more training she will get to being a good handler. She had control over her dog and stood the dog on the table. Showed me the bite. I asked for a triangle and up and down which she did well. Just has to learn when you turn the dog on the move it has to still be seen by the judge. Very good effort.
2 Nellie Rose Monks 7 yrs old. Again her first show. Was more nervous than 1. With more training and she will become a really good handler. She talked to her dog and got the dog standing.. she had control on the table and showed me the mouth. She had good control on the triangle and up and down. She did well for one so young. Well done both girls look forward to watching your progress.
12-16 yrs no entries
17-50 yrs (2) I must say both these ladies handled their dogs well. Very hard class to judge.
1 Karoline Andrew. She moved when I went behind and, around her and, the  dog. Her dog was standing beautifully for her. Table was great she handled well. Precise patterns and return. Well worthy of 1st place.
2nd Bobbie Shepherd Yet another good handler. Moved when I went round them. Dog was always in view of me. Patterns were precise. It was a difficult choice. Bit the 1st just had the edge.
51yrs plus (2,2)
