Critique

MPD(3) 1 Williams' Grizwold Lohengrin At Druitz. Three gorgeous puppies. Winner had very erect ears, Spitz proportions in body for height and length, lovely head and pigment, grand front and rear and a well carried over tail, very true and precise, as were the other two moving. 2 King's Grizwold Loki. Showing well and went round like a veteran! Ears could be set a mite more erect and he is roaching his topline up a touch at present, very good mover, good legs and bone for size. 3 Orr's Sobriety Born To Be Wild.

PD (3) 1 Orr’s Sobriety Jack Daniels, another beauty. Good to go over, nearly square in outline, sound front & lay of shoulder, wedge shaped head & tapering jaws. Level back, good tail set on & excellent quarters, good depth of chest; 2 Beard’s Wyndlee Jester, not so mature & rather up in the air for depth & width just now. Really at the teenage stage & needs more time. I am sure he will look wonderful in a few months time; 3 Clayton’s Studholme Dark Moon. 

JD(2, 1) 1 Clayton's Studholme Kiss Of Ozzy. Rather unsettled moving and on the table, but not a basically nervous dog, used his ears nicely, ok in front and rear but roaching his back up in profile movement, good coat, well presented.

PGD(2) 1 Davies' Nixtev Serylius. Very 'spitzy' in type and conformation, good wedge head, excellent pigment, ok in front and rear and brisk true side action, well set and carried tail. 2 Clayton's Rossfort Gerhardt. Magnificent harsh coat and thick undercoat, head rather more rounded and ears set on the sides rather than truly erect. A good, sound dog, carries himself well, nicely boned.

LD(2) 1 Hughes &Forrester's Druitz Welsh Wizard At Candease. Eyes too prominent and ears could be set a mite higher, otherwise a smart dog, well put together, good body and strong backline, tail well over and moving well. 2 Bellingham's Abbicher Thriller. Down on his pasterns and not the length of stride of above, too short stepping even for a 'brisk striding' moderate breed, excellent coat and well bodied, tail well over and in good coat.

OD (4) 1, CC&BOB, Andrew's Claran Narada. Lovely class of quality males, winner good to go over, standing on excellent legs and tight cat feet, correct half and half depth to leg length, nearly square body and really good head and eyes, moved well, could use his ears more. 2 &Res CC, Chambers' Ch Musique Worth The Wait. Good type also. Again a nearly flat skull and tapering jaws, ok in front, can stand straight behind sometimes, but uses his rear ok on the move, in good coat and body condition. 3 Mulholland's Ch Zephon Spookz The Tempest ShCM.

MPB (1) 1 Rayment's Grizwold Lady Of The Lake. Pretty baby, good type and proportions for her age, well up on her feet, tail well over, nicely ribbed and short firm loin, moderate angulation and a good stride in profile, obviously very green at 6 mths still!

PB(3) 1 Rayment's Grizwold Lady Of The Lake. 2 Beard's Wyndlee Jenny. Out of coat and needs more depth of chest as yet, pleasing sound girl, pretty head and eyes, set oval and sparkling, good tight feet, tail well over and shows well. 3 Orr's Rossfort Soba At Sobriety.

JB(3, 2) 1 Andrew's Dagsljus Against All Odds At Claran (Imp). On the small side even for a bitch, neat and moving well, well made, sturdy for size and good bone and feet, very precise coming and going.

PGB(3) 1 Clewer's Spellcast Tell A Tail At Bullbo. Loving moving girl with a good sharp, brisk stride, nice to go over, ears could be set higher and more erect, otherwise difficult to fault for construction and movement, shows well. 2 Clayton's Studholme Kiss Of Fire. Too short in neck even for a moderately short necked breed and she paddles in front, good head and expression, lovely body and ok in rear, well handled to get the best out of her. 3 Pooley's Spellcast Talking Secrets With Azkaban.

LB(4, 1) 1 Hunter's Rossfort Wendika. In good coat and body, ears set a trifle low, lovely front and forechest, depth correct for leg length, tail well over, enough rear bend of stifles and good firm hocks, in lovely muscle too! Smart mover. 2 Blight's Flamuna Curtain Call For Rosechow. Not moving so well in rear and higher in hocks, very 'spitzy' and nicely muscled, good square outline and showing well. Just her rear let her down a place. 3 King's Druitz Cariad Bach Of Grizwold.

OB(5) 1 &CC, Orr's Rossfort Andante With Sobriety JW. Smallish bitch, neat and precise moving, good head but eyes rather on the large side and could be more oblique, well made, immaculate condition and movement and tail carried well over. 2 &Res CC, Williams' Druitz Follow That Dream. Throws her front about on the move, otherwise a bit more of a Spitz zhead and eyes than winner, good nearly square outline, moves well going away and lovely colour and pigment for a brown. 3 McCulloch, McCulloch &McCulloch's Ch Wyndlee Maggies Farm At Macpaws.
