German Spitz Breeders & Owners Club held an Open show where BIS was Nixtev Polarize; RBIS, Ch Nixtev Liberty at Jansanleis; & BP, Nixtev Wolfrick.
This was one of the friendliest shows I have judged. It was also an honour to judge this breed club open show where I was made really welcome & the most sporting exhibitors which gave the show a great atmosphere. Thank you to the officers & committee for their hospitality & to my stewards for their efficient & friendly help. The officers & committee worked so hard & everything was done with thought of the members. I was presented with some top quality dogs to judge & would like to thank the exhibitors for their entry & for sportingly accepting my decisions. I was very pleased with my final winners.
