German Spitz Mittel

PD (1) 1 Saich’s Lindcoly Mischief Maker, 10 months old & gives a good impression, good overall shape with a nice head, good neck & shoulders, moved OK. Would prefer a smaller eye. JD (5,1a) 1 Taylor’s Zephon King Of The Rock for Tispitza, lovely cream boy with an overall good shape, good strong body with a good neck & shoulder, nice head & expression, very good pigment. Moved OK & correct for size; 2 L Mischief Maker; 3 Garbutt & Corkin’s Nixtev Wolfrick. PGD (6,2) 1 Cook & Clayton’s Studholme Moon Orbit, caught my eye as he walked in the ring, beautiful head & expression, good pigment, correct neck & shoulder leading to a super body, short backed with high set tail, oozed quality & easily won the CC & BOB with his sheer personality; 2 Z King Of The Rock for T; 3 King’s Grizwold Moon Song. LD (3) 1 Hughes & Forrester’s Grizwold Muraco Moon over Candease, difficult class but 1 won on his head & eye. Lovely overall shape with good neck & shoulder, short back with high tail, lovely quality & good on move; 2 Thomas’ Daraydala Lorenzo of Kelmorespitz, another lovely shape, good strong body, short back, very good neck & brisket; 3 Saich’s Zephon Akio at Lindcoly. OD (5) 1 Garbutt’s Nixtev Polarize, lovely dog & I believe I gave him the RCC last time I judged, he is super in every way. Lovely head & eye, good pigment. Good neck & shoulders, short in back with the correct proportions for size, high set tail & moved well, but he just didn’t sparkle in the challenge, thus only getting the RCC; 2 Smith’s Ch Spellcast Jivetalking, another nice dog who I liked all through, good shape & good body, high tail but preferred the eye of 1; 3 Beard’s Ir Ch Wyndlee Jester. VD (1) 1 Smith’s Wyndlee Ghostly Magic, nearly 8 years old & a really nice dog, good head & eye, nice ears carried well, good body with high tail, moved well, can give the young ones a run for their money.

PB (4) 1 Hamer & Cree’s Clarmers Best Buds with Gibbcree, just 8 months & a lovely puppy. Very pretty with a super head, eye & pigment. Good neck & shoulders, strong little body with high set tail, moved very well. BP & well deserved CC; 2 Saich & Saich’s Zephon Dreams Made With Love at Lindcoly, 10 months & a little scatty but full of quality. Good head & eye, nice body with good tail, moved well when settled; 3 Clewer’s Bullbo Over The Moon. JB (4) 1 C Best Buds with G; 2 Z Dreams Made With Love at L; 3 Orr’s Sobriety Caviars Whispa. PGB (1) 1 Bellingham’s Grizwold Moons Mystic Charm, very pretty girl with a good head but sadly had staining around the eye, nice overall shape & moved well, would prefer a little more substance. LB (2) 1 Saich’s Zephon The Thunderstorm at Lindcoly, nice enough bitch with nice head & eye & good pigment, good ears placed well, nice overall shape & body with high tail, moved OK; 2 Rolleston’s Kelham The Power Of Love, this girl was right on size, longer in back so rather unbalanced & movement was not too good. OB (4) 1 Orr’s Ch Pufnstuf Put A Spell On You at Sobriety, beautiful black girl, lovely shape with a good head & eye & pigment. Good neck & shoulder with lovely compact body & well set on tail, good proportions throughout but preferred movement of CC winner. RCC; 2 Duncan’s Ir Ch Spellcast Talk Of The Town, good overall shape but not so balanced as 1, nice head & eye, good neck, high tail & moved well; 3 Blight’s Flamuna Curtain Call for Rosechow. VB (0).
