POMERANIAN I am sorry that you had a long wait before getting into the ring after I had judged the large entry of Affenpinschers

Thank you for the entry of 47.I have always enjoyed judging Pomeranians but I had to say that I found this entry difficult for its mixed type and in some classes the quality was disappointing .I found too many incorrect bites; I was lenient in the puppy classes about this.Too many were short on the leg for balance My critiques are briefer than usual as I was conscious of time with another breed to follow in this ring

1 WATSON Vibrek You Are My Sunshine 3 year old shaded sable who had fine bone and a pretty head and was sound and brisk on the move. However he could have more leg for my taste. BSBIB

1 SLOUGH Special Edition Of Persimoone (Imp) JW VW 9 year old of lovely type with fine bone and was balanced and with a pretty head.Sound brisk action.The coat tesxture was a little soft

PD (6, 2) A difficult decision with puppies of various sizes-

1 BLACK & BLACK Zaandam's Serious Storm BPIB this 6 months puppy is small and fine and with a pretty head and amazing movement and carriage for his age.He had little coat on the day.He is balanced for his size at the moment.He was my choice for best puppy on the day then was placed in the toy puppy group

2 BROWN Fable The Small Step At Yanimas (imp Kos) looked my winner from the start,11 months old bright orange with superb coat and a lovely head.He was uncoordinated on the move and needed a little more leg

3 FRENCH & BURNETT Bincombefarm The Hippogrif

1 FRENCH Norvanik Shout Out At Bincombefarm BJIB ; I liked his size and balance best in this class and underneath the coat a well ribbed compact body.Quality head and good eye.His coat is changing but had enough of his crisp adult coat coming through.Best Junior

2 CAMPBELL Klassna Prime Star At Diemzs 15 months old scoring with his beautiful head and expression, fine bone and good carriage and sound brisk action.Super crisp coat texture.I preferred the leg length of the winner

2 GOOCH Lireva's Wild To Fly The Bear To Cassibawn beautifully coated dog of 3 years.Small and fine boned and very sound.I preferred the leg length of the winner but he appealed greatly and should win well too.

1 SMITH Ch Sueacres Catch A Dream JW RDCC fine boned shaded dog of fine bone and lovely headpiece.Solid body and crisp coat .He moved well but I would prefe more legWon this class on his spring of rib and body and took the reserve CC

2 BOYES Poshdonpoms Touch Of JW looked my winner for balance and he is full of type in head eye with neat ears and a very good coat and high set tail.He was lacking finish of body and rib on the day and that decided his placing here.I see he is litter brother to the CC winner so this owner breeder with an affix which is new to me has two great prospects for the future.

3 CREGG Lireva's Magical Dream JW

SBB (3, 0)

1 FRENCH & WARD Bincombefarm The Demiguise this 9 months black was intermittent with her showmanship but I saw glimpses of her sound action and she was for me the best type and proportions in this class.

2 SULLIVAN Poshdonpoms Love Story13 months who is sound and showed well.A little heavier in type than the winner but she has quality .

3 REESON Angelpom Bianca Dream For Mylriver

VB (1, 0)

1 WILCOX Osminines Whim Wham At Boazpoms BVIB This 11 year old is remarkable for her soundness and retaining her quality.Her dentition amazing for her age and wonderfully clean and tartar free, which is a sign of good husbandry. She is compact and of good proportions,.Her coat could be crisper but she is a great advert for the breed Best Veteran

PB (5, 2) all three puppies were teething and I gave them the benefit of the doubt and placed them for their type and soundness on the day.I will be interested to see how they develop

JB (4, 0)

1 CAWTHERA-PURDY Lireva's Waltzing Matilda 14 months lovely orange bitch of real type and quality in fine bone and a pretty head.She is balanced and very buoyant on the move with light brisk action.She was unlucky in the challenge where she missed out to her older kennelmate .She should have a good future., one of the bright hopes of the day

2 CAMPBELL Oraysha New Romance At Diemzs . I liked the shortness and compact body of this bitch and she had a good head and eye.Slighly lower in tailset which detracted a little from the outline on the move….a lot of potential.

3 HOLMAN Divinty's Angels Kiss At Altina

GB (3, 0)

1 EDMONDS Tauro Kennel Jp Maya At Lanaarland 18 months shaded sable who was a picture of type and balance and on the table she did not disappoint.She is sturdy under that crisp coat with good spring of rib, short back and high tail set.Fine head and foxy expression and very neat ears. I thought she was beautiful and stood out for me in the challenge.Buoyant sound mover and scored on her balance and shape held on the move.CC and I hope she goes on to more good wins.

2 BAIGENT In Time Poms Day Dream Believer At Amorapoms (Imp) orange with good coat and very good substance and excellent movement.Pretty head a very sound bitch but not quite the fineness of the winner.

2 CAWTHERA-PURDY Lireva's Wildest Elation finer bitch of 15 months with a beautifully crisp coat.Very pretty in head with better ears than the winner.A teenager in body and needs to develop in middlepiece which made her look a little long for balance.
