Critique

MITTEL : Having taken a long time interest in the breed, I looked forward to this assignment and found my excellent entry most pleasing. Some exhibits, maybe due to the inclement December weather, lacked in movement and muscle tone. Also a number of exhibits, I felt, lacked in balance and, while coat is so much a part of the breed, it should be remembered that it should never come into the equation of true balance.

PD (6) 1 Sobriety’s Element of Freedom. Nicely balanced showy puppy with nice head, good eye and well set ears, giving a most pleasing expression. Nice front feet and hindquarters. Moved well. 2 Garbutt’s, Nixtev Polarize. A real baby, who very much lacked the presence and confidence of winner. I loved his overall balance and true Spitz expression. In movement I felt that he deserved the extra time that I spent with him and in the end showed that he had excellent movement. When he learns what the show ring is about he should have a bright future. 3 Lord’s Nixtev Phoenix.

OD (6) 1 Chambers Ch Druitz Corncracker for Teamspitz CC and BOB. Seven year old cream shown in immaculate condition and coat, along with looking super fit. He simply stood out, in my opinion, as a great example of the breed. With the very best of balanced heads, great eye shape, with super well set ears alert at all times, all giving the most wonderful true Spitz expression. Correct in front and hindquarters, all with nice bone, Nice neck set into great balanced body. Good topline and tailset. In movement he has both reach and drive and it is a joy to watch his true movement, fore, aft and side. 2 Mulhollands Zephon Spookz The Tempest. Res CC. Three year quality balanced male shown in super condition and coat. Pleasing head, nice ear set with alert expression at all times. Like the winner he as nice neck fitting into a great balanced body that has a good topline and super tailset. Good straight front well boned, nice hindquarters.

Well constructed body, good front and hindquarters, moved well. 3 Garbutt’s Nixtev Lexis. Pale cream. On entering the ring, I thought this bitch would be the class winner. Very glamorous, nicely presented and showed her socks off. Great balance under her full pristine coat. True Spitz balanced head and expression with nice eye shape, correct set neat ears and alert at all times. Unfortunately, her erratic movement today cost her the class; and I do hope her handler will take steps to rectify this, as she is such a very worthy bitch.
