Championship show:
VD (3) 1 Chambers Ch Druitz Corncracker For Teamspitz JW ShCM. Typey chap with good body and leg length. His cream coat well presented but lacking a lot of undercoat. Lovely head shape and expression. Moving soundly BVIB. 2 Hewett's Ch. Runfold Full Frottle With Spellcast. A brown boy in full bloom apart from his tail for some reason. Lovely spitz head and well set ears. Good bone and overall substance. Not as pleasing in rear action as 1. 3 King's Abbicher Kiss Of The Wolf At Grizwold.
MPD (3,1) 1 Alfred's Rossfort My Imp At Teamor. Parti colour baby, just over klein size at this stage. Square in outline with well developed body for age. Tight set tail. Rocking in front movement but steady behind. Appealing head but too defined in stop. Well presented and handled. BPD. 2 Hunter's Rossfort Azarax. Longer cast and looking short on leg. Well boned and well set tail. Brother of 1.
PD (4,2) 1 Alfred's Rossfort My Imp At Teamor. Repeat. 2 Hunter's Rossfort Azarax. Repeat.
JD (1) 1 Chambers/Highmoor's Druitz Hufen Ia. Well pigmented cream, without coat. Spitzy head and nice expression. Very square outline, if a little leggy. Tight tail set. Moved truly and briskly when settled.
PGD (9,1) 1 Pooley's Wyndlee Short N' Sweet At Azkaban. Black with white toes and tail tip. Square in outline and in good coat. Lovely spitz head with requisite stop and wedge. Well set, small ears and dark eye. Good neck and enough bone. Showing well with lovely profile. Loved the type of this dog. Not as precise on the move as he could be. 2 Chambers's Uncas Von Zwergen Konig. A lovely brown with a square profile and very sound moving both ways. So many breed attributes. Skull shape is good but eye and ear set do not appeal. 3 Beard's Wyndlee Desperado Between Zephon.
LD (6,2) 1 Smith's Sandkarah's Mr Mischief. A square black with good head proportion and ears. Good expression. Well set tail. A character who eventually settled on the move and proved sound. 2 Andrew's Runfold Krafty Kid. Sable with well presented coat. Up to size; correct overall shape. Appealing head and expression. Refusing to show properly and unsettled on the move. 3 Andrews's Claran Narada. OD (8,1) A good class. 1 Hewett's Ch Spellcast Talk To Me (+CC, BOB, BIS). I see I have given this boy 2 Res CCs before! Third time lucky! He has matured into a lovely dog. A square boy with good leg length. Excellent stifles, and tail set. A well set front and good neck. Well coated but not to the detriment of outline. Very typical CC, BOB and with the referees decision, BIS. 2 Hewett's CH Spellcast Secrets & Lies JW (+RCC). A cream boy with many of the same attributes; slightly longer cast but that is all that seperates them. Showing well and very well presented. Res CC. 3 Mulholland's CH Zephon Spookz The Tempest.
VB (2,1) 1 Pooley's Wyndlee Fallen Angel From Azkaban. A spritely 10 y/o. Moving out truly with determination. Spitzy head and tail. Ears set on high. Credit to the breed.
MPB (3,1) 1 Hill's Rossfort Andante With Sobriety (+RBPB). An interesting pair of puppies. This girl is just off square, looking longer than she actually is. Strong bone. Wells set tail. Moving soundly front and rear with matching angles. Needs some head'neck coat to finish. 2 Alfred's Rossfort Black Girl At Teamor. Divine head on this black. Many of remarks for 1 apply. Needs to steady on the move.
PB (3,1) 1 Richardson's Wyndlee Lawdy Miss Clawdy At Jomihvar (BPB, BPIB). Gold girl presenting square outline without hindrance of too much coat! Some undercoat would have been nice though. Well shaped head and high set ears. Lovely to go over and very sound on the move, light and easy. An attentive showgirl, her soundness and shape won her BPIB. 2 Alfred's Rossfort Black Girl At Teamor. Repeat.
JB (3) 1 Hill's Pufnstuf Put A Spell On You At Sobriety (+CC). Standing square and showing consistently, this well grown black girl demands attention. Beautiful head, good neck, requisite angles, front and back. Well set, firm front, and well developed body for age. Well set on tail. Should have a brilliant future. Pressed hard for BOB. CC. King's Druitz Cariad Bach Of Grizwold. Orange sable. Good overall shape but foreface too long. Balanced angles, brisk mover, very sound. Lacking undercoat. 3 Mulholland's Zephon My Kind Of Girl.
PGB (4) 1 Hunter's Rossfort Wendika. Well boned sable, strong bitch, well developed brisket and good bone throughout. Well set tail. Could be shorter in coupling. Loved the head and mask. Res CC. 2 Mountain's Daraydala Pink Fizz At Hocombewood. Shaded brown, not as balanced as 1. Very short in profile. More angulation behind than in front and front movement unsettled. Well presented and handled. 3 Beard's Flamuna Oasis.
LB (4,2) 1 King's Grizwold Inabikari. Wolf sable, square petit bitch. Enough bone for size. Pretty spitzy face. Moving soundly both ways but a bit 'bum in air'. 2 Hewett's Wyndlee Sweeter Than Wine. Black/white parti, heavily built. Very nice head and ears but shorter legs than I prefer. OB (5,2) 1 Chambers Ch Nosregor Bewitched For Musique. Very attractive brown showing well. Lovely well shaped head and eye. SO much to like about her, but she was labouring in front a bit on the move. In full bloom and making a lovely picture. 2 Conway's Druitz Corn Dolly At Spawood. Shaded orange, very square. Dense coat and well presented. Longer in foreface than 1 and staining detracts. Good stifles and tail set. I prefer more neck. 3 Hill's Sobriety Fifth Element.
