A big thank you to the Keeshond Club for their support and sponsorship of the classes, and to the exhibitors for their entries, with only one absentee.

PD/B (3,0) 1. Wilkin’s Whizzkees Silver Spark, 8 month petite bitch, who is well balanced. Has lovely wedge shaped head and expression from almond eye with correct spectacles, ears could be smaller. Good bone and excellent coat, though colour still to strengthen as expect at this age. Pleasing angles front and rear and reach of neck. Little erratic on the move but sound, BP and PG3. 2. Fitches’ Samoykees Harbour Lights, good size male in excellent coat, well boned. Correct short compact proportions. Head still to break, and would prefer more almond eye and spectacle markings to complete expression. Needs to strength in front on move but ok behind. 3. Wilkin’s Whizzkees Quicksilver. JD/B (2,0) 1. Harris’ Kichigai Boy is Back in Town for Watchkees, masculine, good size and well boned. Correct harsh coat which stands off, good furnishing and impressive mane. Wedge head with good stop, almond eye, correct mask and spectacles, neat ears. Short back to high set tail. Well angulated, moves soundly on his tight cat feet, BOB & G4. 2. Clark’s Kwajongen She’s a Muse, lovely feminine wedge head, flat skull would prefer more almond eye and definition to spectacles. Stands on well boned legs to tight cat feet. Tail set on high. Moves little wide in front. PGD/B (2,0) 1. Hickson’s Kichigai’s Uptown Girl, smaller framed bitch but well balanced and compact. In excellent coat, well boned to cat feet. Carries tail well, with tight curl. Feminine attractive wedge shaped head good width to flat skull, eyes could be more almond in shape. Like her litter mate moves well in all directions, BOS. 2. Wilkin’s Opal Suzie, rangier type, who lacked the stand of coat. Stands with moderate hind angles, but would prefer little more reach in front. Good eye shape and correct spectacle, ears rather on large size, not helped by lack of mane furnishing. Moved ok behind but bit loose in front. LD/B (no entries) OD (1,0) 1. Hickson’s Ch Kichigai’s Only the Lonely, of good size and well coated, short backed to give correct compact outline. Moderate angles behind but preferred front assembly of BOB. Very good head, correct wedge, good strength of muzzle, correct almond eye, well marked, ears could be smaller. Well boned legs to tight cat feet. Moved ok behind, but preferred reach of BOB, RBOB. OB (3,1) 1. Fitches’ NL Ch Samoykees Exclusive Moon, preferred overall body proportions of this bitch, well boned legs to tight cat feet. Adequate coat. Skull is broad and flat, strong muzzle to create wedge – but eye shape affects expression for me. Moved ok. 2. Wilkin’s Whizzkees Ebony Sinders JW, taller bitch not in full coat and standing wide in front. Attractive in head, with correct eye and expression, though ears a shade large. Well angulated and moved ok in front but rather wide behind.

Good length of skull, strong muzzle with good underjaw, large dark eye, high set ears well feathered already. Moves with good length of stride just a shade loose in front. BP & PG4. 2. Elvidge & Webb’s Araki Hug my Panda, same age as winner but less mature. Has correct compact square outline, very feminine in head, with large dark eye, good strong jaw, and well set ears. Would prefer little more angulation. Moved ok. Super outgoing nature. JD/B (1,0) 1. Rhode’s Khatibi Fluffanella At Calonlan, smaller framed bitch, but still well balanced and compact in outline. Level topline with the arch over the short loin, tail carried well. Still to drop in brisket. Attractive head, good eye and ear. Moved with plenty of drive. GD/B (4,3) 1. Rudderham’s Taxiki Flame Nfortune, masculine dog of good size, with mature coat. Level top line to slightly arched loin, tail carried proudly. Good angles and reach of neck, which shows on move as head is carried in typical proud way. Good head piece, round dark eye, near fat skull, good jaw and dentition. Moves with drive and covers ground well. BOB. OD/B (4,3) 1. Fenton’s Int/Lux/Be Ch Layoli Hot N’Smokin JW ShCM, attractive mature male, just a shade longer cast than BOB. In excellent coat and well presented. Not quite the front assembly of the other winners which meant he lacked the reach in front. Good drive and power behind.

Good reach of neck to masculine head of good length, flat skull, dark oval eye. Moved ok, just to firm up behind. 2. Jaspalie Ghost, well presented white std poodle who needs more ring training, somewhat unruly to handle, making it difficult to access. JD/B (11,4) 1.

Ch Cremefern Sweet Talkin Guy JW ShCM, quality dog, shown in excellent coat and presentation. He just typifies that arrogant carriage called for in the standard, especially on the move, where he flows around the ring.
