Critique

(1) MONKS, Mrs J Cwrtafon Ioan, 18 months white Dog, Lovely well-balanced dog, excellent Dark pigment and eye with ears set on well, head of correct proportions, always wearing a smile and very much loved his handler, stood nice 4 square with good bone and substance, lovely strong boy with good angulation and a nice tight tail set. Drove well on the move, would not want him to grow on much more, good coat texture, very much a spitz temperament which is always a hit with me. (2) ROBERTS, Mrs D Cwrtafon Lili white Bitch 18 months old, pretty feminine head would prefer a little more of a broad wedge but has good dark pigment and eyes, ears correct shape and set well, would have liked a little more length of leg but all round nice bitch with good tail set, may benefit from moving out a bit faster.(3) WILLIAMS, Miss R & FRANCIS, Mr D & PEARCE, Mr G Longsdales Ace Of Spades With Trebettyn, 18 months black and white Party, I feel this boy deserved a mention, has lovely pigment and head with some of the best ears I’ve seen on a mittel (we he gave me a peek), he has a lot to like and definitely one for the future unfortunately lacking confidence and didn’t show off his lovely attributes. I was informed after that he has been victim to a dog attack at a show recently, I’m sure once he finds his mojo again, he will be one to watch.

Class 990 OD 3 Entries
(1) WILLIAMS, Miss B Ch Spellcast Talk To Da Paw At Trebettyn Sh.CM VW, 10yrs Black Dog, this dogs personality and love for the ring shone out of him, lovely correct head, with dark eyes and ears set on well, coat of good texture, density and length, so much to like on this boy which gave him the classic spitz silhouette, nice short loin well-muscled, in lovely fit condition making his handler run out on the move, powered from behind with level top allowing him to open the shoulder and move out but not over the top as he has correct angulation so remained brisk coming and going, the sparkle in his eye and joy of life is what make the German spitz and he has this in bucket loads, he was also my BD and BOB (2) ROBERTS, Mrs D & PEARCE, Mr G & FRANCIS, Mr D Longsdales Rebel Rouser at Cwrtafon JW 18months Black Dog, another lovely specimen, Good wedge head with dark eyes and pigment with ears set on well, slightly softer coat but this is common in the black coats, had a beautiful shine, density and length, Lovely bone, this was a very hard decision as he shared so many of 1’s qualities, I just proffered 1’s front and would have benefited from moving out more on the move, stood nice 4 square, very well behaved and well turned out, was a tough choice. (3) MONKS, Mrs J Cwrtafon Ioan was my YD/B.
Class 991 OB (1)WILLIAMS, Miss B Ch Dulais Moonlight Over Paris at Trebettyn JW, rising 5years wolf sable bitch, another nice dog, lovely head correct and well balanced with well-set ears, good angulation and balanced proportions, missing a bit of mane which tricked the eye with her colouring, hands on and closer inspection you could really appreciate her angulation and proportions, another lovely strong loin and in a nice fit body condition which showed on the move retaining a level top line while pushing through allowing for good reach for the structure of the breed, she was brisk coming and going, also one who was enjoying being out again.
Overall a good standard of dogs though out which made it enjoyable to judge.
