German Spitz Breeders & Owners Club Open Show 26.07.25
Judge Tina Taylor
Thank you to the club for inviting me to judge at this well run show and to those exhibitors
who gave me such a fabulous entry of our wonderful breed. It was a great atmosphere
across the day. I’d also like to thank my efficient stewards Heather & Becky for ensuring
proceedings ran smoothly. It was encouraging to have quality across the board which bodes
well for the future. Movement was an area of concern however and something to be mindful
of.

different type. This male was shown in fabulous hard condition. Wedge head with correct eye
