German spitz mittel.

Thanks to the Manchester dog show committee for inviting me to judge. I found no bad temperaments in dogs or owners so it was a pleasure to judge, many thanks. There were quite a few dogs with upright shoulders which give them stilted movement and the wrong outline, some lacked rib cages totally, my top four were beautiful, thanks.

PD (6,1) 1 Andrew's Runfold Krafty Kid. What a happy chappy he is, lovely square dog, wedge head with ears placed correctly lovely expression , good rib cage, moved well when settled. One to watch in future. 2 Bray's Abbicher Oh Boy. Cream dog with an good overall confirmation, lovely well set ears and nice head. Not as finished as one. 3 Samuel's Spellcast Urban Legend with Runestone.
