Japanese Spitz Club

to the committee and exhibitors for the warm, friendly welcome.  I thoroughly enjoyed my day. 

Minor Puppy Dog 2 (0) 

1st:  Bliss Charney Tamotsu – a very promising puppy.  Correctly shaped head with pleasing expression.  Good pigment.  Good ear set.  Well balanced with good firm body.  Correct coat.  Moved happily – RBD &  - BPIS. 

2nd:  Mott/Newton Anlemar New Beginnings – not as balanced as the winner but another with good body.  Happy dog who used his ears to advantage giving a typical expression.  Needs to strengthen in movement. 

Puppy Dog 1 (0) 

1st:  Turners Mayumi’s Simply the Best – 10 months with profuse coat.  I liked his head, good ear set, correct muzzle.  Well bodied.  Needs to strengthen in hind movement.

Novice Dog 3 (0) 

1st:  A New Beginnings 

2nd:  Turners Anlemar Noble Tadashi of Mayumi – pleasing head shape, good ears, deep chest, good coat, Ok for balance.  Unruly on the move but eventually managed to concentrate and keep 4 feet on the floor! 

Post Graduate Dog 4 (1) 

1st:  Bliss Glamglows Does It with Style at Charney – a well balance dog with lovely dark eyes, lovely expression.  Good ear set, correct body, good topline, pleasing feet.  Moved correctly, a pleasing exhibit. 

2nd:  Stokes Motts Super Trouper at Tundrasteppe – heavier than the winner.  I liked his head and expression.  Just wouldn’t relax and show himself off.  Moved OK but would have been such a different picture if he had been relaxed. 

Limit Dog 2 (0) 

1st:  Bliss Charney Secret Brilliance – I liked his shape and balance.  Pleasing head – would prefer a slightly darker eye.  Good ears.  His correct movement and presence won him this class. 

2nd:  Turners Anlemar Bold as Brass oy Mayumi – heavier dog in full coat – a steady mover.  Correctly shaped head, good pigment, correct earset.  Just needs a bit more oomph.

2nd:  Mott/Newtons Anlemar Moving On – litter sister to winner but not as forward.  A happy baby enjoying her day in the showring.  She moved happily – just needs to lose her puppy fat to give a more balanced outline. 

Puppy Bitch 2 (0) 

1st:  Turners Mayumi’s Too Hot to Handle – bags of character.  Pretty head, good body, pleasing coat.  Moved OK but handler would benefit from a looser lead to enable the exhibit to move more naturally in front. 

2nd:  Prouts Kessaku Tantrums and Tiaras – sweet bitch of lovely shape.  Good head and expression.  Excellent topline.  Out of coat and movement let her down on the day.

1st:  Mott/Newtons Cavitz White Diamond – full of mischief.  Good size and shape, correct neck, level topline.  Moved when and as she wished! 

2nd:  Nicholls Anlemar Over the Page – lots to like about this one.  Good shape, correct topline, a bit out of coat.  Reluctant to move after a bad experience but with lots of encouragement she will hopefully enjoy her showing once again.
