DCC & BOB Galvizach Xrated. RDCC Spellcast Talk To Me. BCC Pennypot Enchantress With Spilmah. RBCC Shelayne Christmas Cracker. BP Galvizach Limited Look In Sandkarah. I would like to thank my very able Stewards Roger & Debbie, who kept the ring running smoothly. I had 1 dog that needed a good groom & bath, one or two were moved as though they were out for a walk in the park, not at a dog show.

VD (5,1) 1 Pooley, Rossfort Apollo. Cream d, up to size but all is in proportion and he does go under the measure. At nearly 13 yrs this boy showed how a Spitz should move. He is of excellent breed type, with correct construction and good coat texture. Good ear set, lovely head with good pigmentation. 2 O’Loughlin, Ch Claran Earthworm Jim Under Caoilta. Brown d. At  8 yrs his brown dog has taken a long time to mature. Another with correct construction giving good movement. Correct pigmentation, coat texture, at one with his handler. 3 Rogerson, Ch Only The Lonely. Black d, close up to 1 & 2, but not moving as well on the day.

Sp PD (2,0) 1 Purves, Bulabs Polarbear. Cream d. Liked his head & ear set, good pigmentation, correct conformation. Needs to settle when moving. 2 Winser, Spilmah Affair And Away Of Lysebourne. Cream Sable d, similar to 1 but unsettled on the move.

Sp JD (2,0) 1 Hewett, Spellcast Talk To Me. Black d. Super black,  loved  his head, with good ear set and nice eye. He is of good construction, correct tail set and move well. Res CC. 2 Mulholland & Looker, Caoilta Nemesis. Cream. This boy has good construction, but his head is a little coarser than I like. Not moving as positively as 1. Late to mature.

PG (9,0) 1 Connor, Galvizach Xrated. This black dog really stood out in this class, good head and ears, nice dark eye, good square outline, super harsh coat and movement was just right without any exaggeration. CC & BOB. 2 Dickinson, Nixtev Inferno. I love this orange boy, he is not as mature as 1, but everything is in the right proportion. His coat is correct as is his head and ear set. I have seen him move better, but he goes true fore & aft. 3 Clayton, Studholme Frizzco Kid. Cream sable, good conformation, liked his overall type, on the day lacking the finish of 1 & 2, movement reasonable.

LD (10,1) 1 Purves, Bulabs Spirit In The Sky. Cream. Soundly constructed, good harsh coat, nice head & expression. Movement could be more positive but deserved his place today. 2 Beech, Galvizach Luck Of The Irish In Sandkarah. Good black, unlucky to meet 1, liked his overall make up. Harsh coat and moved well. 3 Clayton, Studholme Bronco Kid. Cream similar remarks apply, just lacking coat on the day.

OD (10,1) 1 Connor, Galvizach Limited Edition. Sable & white. This boy just gets better. He is well made, good in head & body excellent movement. 2 Powell, Desaria Aurelius At Brookwell. Black. Good honest dog with no major faults. Correct head, ears, & coat texture, movement is also good. 3 Blight, Ch Rosechow Cappachino. Brown sable. He is a good type, nice head, correct coat texture & moved well. Prepared by Fosse Data Systems.

GOOD CITIZEN DOG SCHEME D (3,0) 1 Pooley, Rossfort Apollo. 2 Thurston, Rossfort Caractacus From Liubice. Cream, good head, ears & conformation, harsh coat. Movement not as positive as 1. 3 King, Grizwold Iolo Goch. Different type, made well, not carrying a full coat and would prefer neater ears.

VB  5  (0) 1 Moir, Ch Willmac Kreme Kookie At Jansanleis. Cream, at nearly 15 this girl belies her age. She has very good conformation. Good head and ears, with correct coat texture, moved a lot better than some of the youngsters. 2 Garbutt, Ch Runfold China Crisis At Nixtev. Another cream, I like her very much, ex head and well made giving good movement. 3 Rogerson, Ch/VDH/INT Shelayne Minstrel Show. Much to like about this b. She has good construction and moved well, coat in good condition.

Sp PB (4,1) 1 Beech, Galvizach Limited Look In Sandkarah. Super sable & white Parti, ex head & ears, good conformation giving correct movement. 2 Orchard, Spilmah Affair To Say. Cream, nice type, good head, coat still at the baby stage. movement needs to settle. One for the future. 3 Blight, Rosechow Ekko. Orange Sable. Very raw baby, smaller type than 1 & 2 but of good construction, needs time & confidence.

Sp JB (3,1) 1 O’Loughlin, Caoilta Virago. Cream. Like this girl, correct head shape with neat ears, correct coat & moved well. 2 Bray, Abbicher Lily Langtree. Black, smaller made than 1, nice shape, movement not as good.

PGB (7,2) 1 Clarke, Shelayne Christmas Cracker. Black & white parti. Lovely  girl, good head and the neatest ears, good movement, very well balanced. Res CC. 2 Thurston, Rossfort Xanadu From Liubice. Cream. Good breed type. Liked her head & ears. Well put together. Movement not as positive as 1. 3 King, Grizwold Inabikari. Wolf Sable. Reasonable girl, slightly long in the body & needs coat.

LB (7,0) 1 Orchard, Pennypot Enchantress With Spilmah. I love this black girl. Not the biggest of bitches, but of good construction, coat texture and excellent movement, real Spitz attitude. CC. 2 Clayton, Studholme Loving Lass. Lovely cream, liked her over all good construction. She moved well, just lacking in coat on the day. 3 O’Loughlin, Runfold Fast Forward To Caoilta. Similar remarks as 1 & 2 just lost out on coat.

OB (6,1) 1 Butler, Phixons Mizz Kizzi. Black. Have watched this girl mature. She has good construction, coat texture, head & ear set. Moved well. 2 Garbutt, Ch Nixtev Fyrefly JW. Black. Lost out to 1 due to lack of coat, what there was had a good texture and she moves very well. 3 Lady Gadiva From Balgowan’s Glory (ATC). Black masked cream sable. Good head & ear set, coat texture & movement.

GOOD CITIZEN DOG SCHEME B (5,0) 1 Bray, Abbicher Lily Langtree. 2 Bray, Abbicher Queen Of Egypt. Black. Smaller type. Has good coat texture, her movement is not her fortune. 3 King, Grizwold Inabikari.
