Mittels 

Thank you to the Committee for inviting me to Judge.   It was an enjoyable day, well run & I was extremely well looked after.

My thanks to the Exhibitors for bringing me such lovely winners

Thank you to my excellent stewards too.

Many years ago, the members were invited to vote on whether they would keep the two sizes of German Spitz or just have one size.  The majority voted for TWO sizes.  Even though a dog might be quite stunning otherwise, if it goes over the measure in its breed, then it is too large, & is not classed as a Klein or a Mittel. Breeding from these large dogs only results in more large ones!  We need to keep our sizes.

Caught my breath as he came into the ring!  Dark eyes, & neat ears set high on his lovely head, with correct wedge shape.  Lovely condition & balanced outline.  Well ribbed up with strong loins. Good bone, cat like feet.  He was so eye catching when moving around the ring.  So pleased to award him the CC & BOB
