Critique

MTTEL PD 1 Purves – Rossfort Xcel Among Bulabs An attractive young cream dog that stood alone. Nice well proportioned head, with good expression. Well presented in very good coat. Generally need to tighten up to improve overall balance Was pleased to award him BP

JD (1) 1 Chambers – Musique executive decision A good contender. Lovely head with typical expression. Good relationship between eyes, ears and muzzle length. Square and well balanced. Liked head carriage on well shaped neck. Strong body, with ample muscle and bone. Good front and rear assembly, giving positive drive on move, with level topline. In pristine condition. Just beaten in the challenge. 2 Dickinson – Nixtev Inferno Not quite as well built as first. Nevertheless has a good head with pleasing expression. Nice ear set, and eye shape. Nicely constructed front, with ample bone front and rear. Moved well. Nicely presented.

PGD 1 Williams – Druitz Snow King. This pretty cream dog, unplaced in previous class, was very unsettled both on the table and when moving. Slight finer in build, but still with a nice outline. He has a good head with a typical pleasing expression. It is to be hoped that he can become calmer in the ring, 2 Bunker – Shelayne Celtic Ring at Todrun This black dog challenged the measure. However has nice head. In good coat, well bodied. Moved well coming and going. Nicely handled and presented

LD 1 Powell – Desaria Aurelius at Brookwell A well known, square black dog of very good type. Lovely head, and correct expression, achieved with well placed eyes and ears. Correct muzzle length. Strong well constructed body. Ample muscle and bone. Coat in tip-top condition. Good tailset to finish the picture off. Moved well. Have seen him move better in front. 2 Heslop – Nixtev Fyreblade Another black dog, and up to size. Well built, although slightly longer cast that the first placed. Nice typical head and expression. In very good coat, and presentation Moved with some purpose.

OD 1 Chambers & Rogerson – Ch. Druitz Corncracker for Teamspirit A lovely cream square dog of correct type, that has attracted many glowing critiques. Undoubtedly masculine. Excellent head, neat ears and well placed eyes to give proper expression. Well shaped muzzle. Head carried on well arched neck. Good front assembly angulation, together with well built rear, giving positive drive on the move, while maintaining level topline. Plenty of bone . Well muscled body in firm condition. Excels in coat and presentation. Handled beautifully to the CC and BOB. With the bitch CC winner illustrates the standard the breed must aspire to. 2 Powell – Ch. Desaria Disraeli at Brookwell Another well known and outstanding winning German Spitz. Excellent masculine head and very typical expression. Neat ears, good strong neck. In excellent firm body condition. As ever in full coat, and presented to perfection. Although movement was strong front and rear, the front action was not as good as I have seen from this lovely dog in the past. Despite this a worthy RCC

JB 1 Clark – Shelayne Christmas Cracker Although out of coat, this young bitch has a lot going for her. Of good size and square, giving nice silhouette. Typical feminine head, pleasing ear set, and eye shape, good muzzle, carried on well arched neck. Well built front and rear to give positive movement coming and going. Body with good shape and muscle tone. Sympathetically handled. While I took longer than normal to decide, she never stopped showing, and taking all factors into consideration, a well deserved RCC

PGB 1 Williams – Daraydala Coco Chanel at Druitz A slightly smaller bitch, but still of very good type. A nice feminine head, with correct ear placement to produce pleasing expression. Nice neck to shoulders. Firm well muscled body of good shape. Moved well coming and going. Nice coat. Good overall presentation 2 Butchart – Shelayne Mystic Star This black bitch was in contrast to the class winner. Larger and longer cast. With pleasing head with neat ears and eye shape. Although not quite square, the body is still in good firm condition. Long coat of good texture. Acceptable movement. Well handled .

LB 1 Clark – Lowmita Starlight Pleasant bitch with nice outline. Well constructed head and typical expression. Good reach of neck. In full coat, and firm body condition. Correct tailset. Level topline on the move. Movement good, although the front action was a little unsteady. Nice handling 2 McLaren – Galvizach Cheyenne A smaller bitch than (1). Typical head giving nice expression. Good ear and eye placement. Good body with well formed rib cage. Nice coat. Moved well.

OB 1 Garbutt – Ch. China Crisis at Nextev What can I say about this lovely outstanding cream bitch, that has not been said umpteen times before. Everything about her screams quality, from her excellent head and expression, to her full beautiful flawless coat. Considering her age, she typifies the best female type the breed has to offer. One only has to see her move, to appreciate the excellent body and condition hidden by the coat. Without question the CC winner. When it came to the final challenge, she was just beginning to lose that magical edge after a long day, and had to bow out to the dog. 2 Butler – Phixons Mizz Kizzi A black bitch that just satisfied the measure. Longer cast than the first. Good head and expression. Ample bone, good muscle tone. Firm body, well ribbed. Good coat of nice texture. Positive on the move with good action. Well presented and handled.
