Critique
GERMAN SPITZ - MITTEL
PD (1) 1 Andrew’s Izlou You Know You Love Me of Claran NAF TAF. All male. Masculine wedge head, nice underjaw, correct eye and ear shape and well set. Correct body shape and tail set, tight elbows, straight front tidy feet moves correct.
OD (4) 1 Garbutt & Corkin Ch Nixtev Zeventis Most pleasing head, nice eye and ear shape both set correctly giving the head a true breed expression. Most pleasing overall balance standing and on ther move which he covers with a wonderful freedom. Correct body shape, short loin, well set tail, correct rear angulations. Good shoulders, tight elbows, straight front and correct feet. Super mover CC and Res BOB. 2 Barnes & King’s Ch Izlou Shiver Me Timbers. Another quality exhibit, and like winner most pleasing in head and expression. I consider first and second to be on equal footing for overall construction and balance, but felt today the winner just had the edge in movement. Res CC. 3 Smith’s Sobriety Suited And Booted.
VB (1) 1 Alfred’s Nixtev Vitesse At Teamor Pretty head, excellent body shape and condition moved nicely.
PB (2) 1 Barnes & King’s Izlou Gossip Girl. Feminine head, dark correct shaped eye and sweet expression. Nice body shape, short loin. Good fore and rear quarters, just needs to settle on the move. 2 Pearce & Francis Longsdale’s Don’t Know Much 8 mth of pleasing overall balance. Feminine head but lost out to winner in ear set and expression. Another that still needs to settle in movement which will come with time.
JB (2) 1 Pearce & Francis Longsdale’s I Will Survive NAF. Very nice outline standing when she does not stand rocking horse. Pretty head and expression. Good forequarters tight elbows. Correct topline, tailset and hindquarters. 2 Fitton’s Nosregor Cassiopeia at Shelayne Loved the head on this young lady. While she is well constructed and has good overall balance her movement today let her down.
PGB (4) 1 Andrew’s Claran Blue Aurora. 20 mth old of super construction. Great balance and outline on the move and standing. Most pleasing head and expression, correct body shape, fore and rear quarters. Great mover Presented in excellent condition. 2 Alfred & Heslop Flamuna Shenanigans with Teamor. Like the winner has the most pleasing head and expression. Shoulders nicely set straight front and feet. Lost to winner on movement. 3 Purves & Purves Bulabs QE Beauty.
LB (1) 1 Andrew’s Longsdale’s Rebel Alliance For Claran TAF NAF. Correct wedged head, correct eye and ears and both correctly set. Good balance, level topline, correct tailset, nice hind and forequarters, straight front and correct feet.
OB (5,2) 1 Andrew’s Claran Blue Galaxy Very honest and nicely constructed lady. Most attractive head, super eye and ear shape giving true breed expression. Very pleasing for overall balance, good topline and tailset. Well muscled hindquarters correctly angulated, forequarters a pleasure to go over, tight elbows front straight nice tidy feet. Presented in excellent coat which won her the class CC and BOB. 2 Moir & Moir Ch Jansanleis Mayhem JW this 11.5 year old is a joy to go over, and one that I have loved from the time I first saw her as a baby puppy. She is truly 100% honest and this was most apparent to all by the coat she lacked today. Coat is very much a part of the breed but of course it can hide many faults; nakedness hides nothing and on this grand lady her virtues stood out and I was pleased to award her the Res CC & BVIB. 3 Garbutt & Corkin Nixtev Xamira.
