Special Award Classes

Judge: Mr Krystyan Greenland

Thank you to the Committee for the wonderful invition to judge the special award classes at the Club Show. This is a delightful breed with so much personality and I certainly had some top quality exhibits to assess and no absentees on the day. All the dogs were beautifully prepared. Many thanks for a lovely day. Thanks too to my excellent ring stewards.

Special Yearling Dog/Bitch (3,0)
1st: Hickson’s Kichigai’s Uptown Girl. A little super star in the making. Wonderful head with typical Kees expression. Good wedge. Skull to muzzle equal in proportion. Dark muzzle. Dark eyes of almond shape. Small, neat ears set just the right distance apart. Typical spectacles/markings present. Moderate length to neck. Moderate angulation fore and aft and square in outline. Chest developing well. Firm topline. Strong loins. Tail is high set. Has enough daylight underneath her. Moderate bone. Coat perhaps a tad soft at present, but, I’d say, correct for age. Feet cat like. Excellent mover in profile and out and back. Correct colour with no hint of tawnyness. A little glamour puss without being overdone in anyway. Sure fire future Champ.

2nd: Axford & Sherwood’s Kwajongen She’s A Model For Byquy. 15months and more mature than 1st. Head stronger than 1st, but still has good wedge and equal muzzle to skull. Bit bolder in eye than 1st and not such a pleasing expression. Dark eyes. Ears look small and correct ivy leaf shape. Typical spectacles. Neck medium in length with slight arch. Moderate angulation fore and aft. Rather long on body – could be more square in outline, but this was emphasised by the fact that she was totally naked today. Good bone. Chest deep, but a tad wide which shows in her front gait. Tail set is high enough. Sound in profile action.

3rd: Brunt’s Almznyi Istochinik Kadril Zandornya (Imp Rus). Very foxy, attractive, wedge shape to head with good dark eyes, lovely small well set ears and correct spectacles. Correct ratios of muzzle to skull. Dark muzzle. Neck is rather short. More upright in shoulder and stifles than 1st and 2nd. Back is short, but almost too short for length of leg. Short, firm loins. High set tail. Very nice texture to coat, but colour looks slightly brown tinged (the light didn’t really help.) Movement is overly short stepping for my preference and rather close behind. Very well presented and handle

Special Limit Dog/Bitch (4,0)
1st: Peck’s Kwajongen He’s A Dandy Byquy. Upstanding dog of much quality. Masculine but showing no coarseness, with nice dark muzzle. Flat skull. Wedge is good. Muzzle maybe just a fraction long. Lovely dark eyes of good shape and are set obliquely. Correct spectacle markings. Ears correct size for balance to head and well set. Good length of neck leading into shoulders that are well set. Enough return to upper arm. Chest reaches to elbow and has enough breadth. Ribs carried well back. Square in outline. Short loins. Firm topline. Stifles show moderate bend and balance front. Strong hocks. High set tail. Excellent coat for texture and clear colour. Moves with purpose and enough scope in profile. Needs to just control his exuberance on the out and back. Another who should reach the elite circles.

2nd: Redler & Wheatley’s Byquy Kinky Boots at Keitakees. 3 year old bitch who is extremely attractive. Built on good lines all through. Head is balanced. Perhaps a shade narrow through the back skull but not overly so. Eyes of good dark colour, almond shaped and obliquely set. Correct spectacle markings. Muzzle to skull ratio equal. Ears small. Neck moderate in length. Moderate angulation all through. Body shape was square enough. Good daylight under her. Chest deep and reaches to elbow. Ok for width. Tail set ok. Short of coat on the day. Moves soundly and precisely. Coat good for texture and colour.

3rd: Axford & Sherwood’s Lilli Marlina At Watermyth. Head presents a decent wedge, but a little stronger than I prefer. Eyes are a little full, but ok for colour. Correct spectacle markings. Ears ok for shape and set. Moderate length to neck. Not so well constructed as 1st and 2nd. Rather longer in body. Firm topline. Tail set a tad low. Moves very soundly in all directions.

Special Open Dog/Bitch (3,0)
1st: Clark’s Kwajongen She’s A Muse. I thought this one was a cracker. Beautiful head and expression. Flat skull and equal muzzle to skull. Dark muzzle with enough underjaw. Excellent wedge shape to head. Expressive dark eyes of excellent almond shape and obliquely set. Correct spectacle markings. Ears could be a fraction smaller but are very well set. Great neck leading into excellent shoulders. Good return to upper arm. Well boned. Deep chest to elbows and also has ideal width for a bitch. Square in body shape. Ribs extend back. Firm topline. Strong short loins. Turn of stifle is correct for the breed. Defined hocks. High set tail. Excellent coat for colour and texture. Liked her for size. Good daylight underneath. Super movement which is brisk and free with enough ground coverage to be typical for the breed. Top class lady who I have no doubt will carry her title soon. Very impressive.

2nd: Brunt’s Zandvoort Up An Purrsonal (AI). A strong boy and up to size. Certainly enjoying his day. Lovely temperament. Eyes good for shape and set. Flat skull. Muzzle a tad long. Dark muzzle. Ears look rather large. Enough stop. Moderate length to neck. Shoulders display moderate angulation. Square enough in outline. Good deep chest with enough breadth. Stifles moderately bent. Tail is set on a tad low, but is carried over the back. Moves soundly. Coat good for texture.

3rd: Redler & Wheatley’s Keitakees Asleep In The Back. Bitch of a nice size. Eyes dark and almond shaped. Correct spectacle markings. Muzzle rather too pointed and slightly weak in underjaw. Ears look rather large for ideal balance. Moderate length to neck. Moderate angulation. Slightly long in body, unfortunately enhanced by a slightly low set tail. Coat of typical colour. Moves particularly soundly in all directions, but perhaps not with the brisk action I expect of this breed. Very well handled and presented.

KEESHOND CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW
KENNEL CLUB BUILDING, STONELEIGH
12 APRIL, 2015

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Keeshond Club for the wonderful invitation to judge their Club Championship Show. Thank you for the excellent pre-show correspondence and arrangements. I received a very warm and friendly welcome on arrival. My grateful thanks go to the hard working committee headed by Mrs Reed-Peck, Mrs Henman and Show Secretary Mrs Wilkin. We were also treated to a sumptuous luncheon very much enjoyed by all. I would also like to thank my able stewards Mrs Bannister and her son for their assistance in the ring.
My initial UK Keeshond appointment took place at Southern Counties Championship Show in 2010. I had a number of lovely quality dogs shown under me then and hence I was very much looking forward to judging the Club Championship Show. I was absolutely thrilled with the number of dogs – 110 – and we had very few absentees.
The breed continues to thrive in the UK and I had a number of top quality Kees shown under me. Both my BIS and Reserve BIS winners were bitches and they absolutely deserved these top places as they were of such outstanding type and quality. My BIS winner is an exceptional gem and one I will remember for a very long time to come.
Overall quality was very good and a good number of dogs were compact and typical. I saw a number of lovely heads and expressions. Color variation on the whole was good and most tails well carried and correctly set. Temperaments were delightful.
I would like to mention a few things which in my opinion need watching. I was sorry to see that there were a number of dogs with the unwanted tawny color in their coats. I also saw some with small, beady eyes and also some with eyes set too close and as a result the expression is somewhat alien. Only a handful had the correct brisk, straight movement of the breed which is a joy to see.
Thank you for a most interesting and happy day in the company of this lovely breed.

MINOR PUPPY DOG (3 )
Kimokees Laughs N Run of Zaandvort (TAF), eight month old masculine puppy shown in excellent condition. Very nice type and proportions. Up to size. Pleasing head, medium eye, well set ears. Good bone, body and movement for age. Color a little bleak at the moment. Showed very well for age. Best Puppy Dog & Reserve Best Puppy in Show
Szaryk Amadeo’s All Shook Up, masculine puppy, has better size than 1. His coat could have been tidied up a little better for the show. Very nice head, lovely eye shape and color. Medium bone. Good body, but front needs more time and a little short stepping in front at the moment. Excellent tail.
Keitakees Friends of Ours

PUPPY DOG (6 )
Cedarhills-Shamrock Foreign Correspondent Lyntova, 7,5 month old dog puppy with plenty to like about him. Excellent little showman. Lovely head qualities, excellent eye and expression, well set ears of correct shape. Nice bone. Needs a little more body. Very good tail set and carriage. Needs to settle a little in front movement, but side gait was very pleasing. Nice color variation.
Kichigai Luke Skywalker, 11 month old, also a nice puppy dog. Very good head, medium eye. His overall type and shape is good, but front needs more time. Well angulated rear. Very good coat quality and nice color variation. Moved well behind.
Gavimir Asterisk

JUNIOR DOG (2 – 1 abs.)
Bargeway Point Blank, 14 month old youngster alone in this class. Masculine dog not in full coat. Strong male head, dark eye. Nice bone. I would like this dog to have better carriage and he is a tad long in loin, further accentuated by lack of coat. Moves soundly enough, but could be a little more typical on the move.

SPECIAL YEARLING DOG (2)
Rossvale Destined to be with Neradmik, 22 month old young male of lovely breed type, but oh so plump! Excellent head with super dark eye of correct shape giving lovely, typical expression. Correct ear shape. Lovely bone. Shown in excellent coat condition and with very good color variation. Moves well behind, but his front movement suffered from the extra weight. Plenty of quality, just needs a strict diet!
Mezanda Madog’s Storm, typical young male with good head shape, but needs darker eye to give better expression. Very good neck. Reasonable body and rear, but moves a little close behind. A little down on his pasterns.

NOVICE DOG (2)
Kimokees Laughs N Run of Zandvoort (TAF), winner of the Minor Puppy Dog class.
Gavimir Asterisk, almost 10 months old male of lovely breed type. A little shy to start off with, but soon settled. Super head shape, lovely dark eye, shape could be a little better. Correct coat quality and very good color variation. Has many qualities, but his hind movement let him down. Only young and I am sure he will improve in this respect.

POST GRADUATE DOG (6-1 abs.)
Winklestar Hadar, two year old very beautiful young male who did his best to give his handler a tough time in the ring. Extrovert showman, full of himself. Lovely type and proportions. Super coat quality and color variation. Carries himself extremely well. Excellent head shape, but his eyes are a little close set. Very neat ears. Excellent body, correct angulation, very good tail set and carriage. Excelled on the move with typical brisk, sound movement.
Neradmik Boy Next Door, two year old strong, masculine male of very nice type. Very good head, excellent dark eye. Soundly made and thus stands very correctly and also moves well. Beautiful coat of correct quality.
Rossvale Master of Destiny for Esorkees
LIMIT DOG (11) – this was a very difficult class to judge.
Neradmik Help the Hero at Maldine, three year old masculine male of excellent type. Super, correctly moulded head, very good eye and expression, neat ears. Quality bone. Excellent neck, well-made body and quarters. Sound, accurate mover. Super coat and color variation. Plenty to like about this dog.
Neradmik All About the Boy for Watchkees ShCM JW, two year old, very shapely, promising young dog. Very nice head, eye is dark, but a little round and this gives him a “babyface” expression. Super ears. He is very well put together and carries himself extremely well. Good coat texture, but his tail was very short of coat.
Leazehond Lightning Bolt
OPEN DOG (11)
Int CH Lyntova Legend Has It (IKC), three year old top quality male shown in excellent order and cleverly handled. A very impressive male of lovely breed type. Shown in excellent muscle tone. I liked him tremendously for his carriage, type and proportions. Head of excellent shape, very lovely expression, neat, well carried ears. He is very correctly made and excels in bone, body, quarters and movement. To be hypercritical I felt he could have carried a little less coat and this is where he had to bow to the two outstanding females. CC and Best Opposite Sex in Show
Neradmik Family Affair with Lekkerbek, two year old, extremely beautiful young male of the highest order. Shown in super condition. Delightful temperament. Beautiful head shape, eye is dark, but just a touch round. Wonderful ear shape and set. Has the breed’s proud carriage. Good quality jacket and excellent color variation. My first and second were of absolute top quality. Res CC
CH. Hunnivoles Woody Valentine JW

VETERAN DOG UNDER 10 YEARS (4-1 abs.)
AM Gr CH Trumpet’s It’s Good to be King (Imp USA), seven year old lovely quality veteran dog in outstanding order. Strong well shaped head, dark eye giving excellent expression. Quality bone. Super body and quarters which he used very well on the move. Very nice color variation in his coat. Best Veteran in Show
CH. Zaandvort Dream Machine, seven year old male shown in light body condition. Very nice head, medium eye. His coat quality is good, but color could be clearer and better.
Reesburg Ringleader

BREEDERS DOG (3-1 abs.)
Leazehond Lightning Bolt, third in Limit Dog. Strong, masculine male. Good head shape, but ears are a little wide set and he could use them better. Compact dog who moved well.
Mezanda Madog’s Storm, second in Special Yearling dog – please see notes above.

GOOD CITIZEN DOG (2)
Torrikees Who’s the Boss of Winklestar, tall dog of very nice type. Good head, medium eye. Well-made and moved soundly. Good color variation.
Buchkees Love in the Mist, unplaced in Limit Dog. I would prefer definitely better coat color as he is very brown. Good temperament. Moved well. Would like better dentition.

MINOR PUPPY BITCH (5)
Keitakees Asleep in the Back, seven month old most charming, feminine puppy. Shown in lovely condition. Very good type and outline. Beautiful, feminine head, very good eye and expression. Soundly made and moved extremely well for one so young. Excellent color variation. Shows a lot of promise, no dog is perfect and her slight “if” went against her in my choice for best bitch puppy.
Samoykees Exclusive Moon, feminine puppy, but a little long cast at the moment. Very nice head, ears a little large at the moment, but she will probably grow into them. Pretty dark eye giving good expression. Front needs time and front movement needs to settle.
Nofear van het Earlskamp

PUPPY BITCH (4)
Gavimir Arum Lily, started off the wrong foot, but settled down quickly. 11 month old delightful feminine puppy of lovely breed type and proportions. Exquisite head, very good expression. Well set ears, just a tad large at the moment. Very well bodied for age. Sound quarters which she used very well on the move. Lovely coat and excellent color variation. Best Puppy Bitch & Best Puppy in Show
Neradmik Ruby Slipper for Skathki, almost twelve months, pretty puppy, nice head, but would like better eye shape. Super coat and color variation. Good body, but at the moment needs to improve in front and strengthen up behind.
Winklestar Countess

JUNIOR BITCH (6-1 abs.)
Bargeway Peaches and Cream Gineter, 15 month old junior bitch with plenty to like about her. Strong and well made, yet feminine. Has a most pleasing outline. Beautiful head shape, excellent expression. Ears just a little on the large side. Excellent neck, enough body for age. Would like slightly tighter tail. Excellent mover.
Bargeway Pumpkin Pie, 14 month old junior bitch, very similar to first, but does not have the color of Peaches and Cream. Very soundly built. Pleasing head with lovely eye and expression. Good bone. Sound on the move.
Eastkees Silver Sixpence

SPECIAL YEARLING BITCH (5)
Szaryk Flower of the Prairie, two year old compact, feminine, very typical bitch. Beautiful head shape, but would prefer slightly larger eye which could also be a little darker in color. Sound construction, excellent quarters and very good mover. Lovely temperament.
Torrikees Sea Breeze,19 month old, she is also a very beautiful young bitch. Lovely type. Excellent head, but ears a little on the large side and she could use them better. Very nice body and sound quarters. Nice mover.
Rossvale Hidden Destiny
NOVICE BITCH (5)
Gavimir Arum Lily, winner of Puppy Bitch, please see notes above. I really could not take my eyes off her most beautiful head.
Torrikees Sea Breeze, second in Special Yearling Bitch, please see notes above.
Whizzkees Ebony Silver for Plymkees
UNDERGRADUATE BITCH (4)
Whizzkees Ebony Silver for Plymkees, third in Novice Bitch, 14 months old, she is nice for type, but would like to see much better tail carriage. Pretty, feminine head, lovely eye and expression. Well bodied, but would like better front. Moved well. Good color variation.
Leazehond Moondust Cascade, four year old bitch a little on the heavy side. Strong head. Good bone. She is a little long cast. Good tail.
Whizzkees Ebony Slipper
POST GRADUATE BITCH (9-1 abs.) – another rather difficult class to judge
Shelderon Summer Sparkle, 22 month old bitch of correct breed type. A very honest bitch, who her owner could show to better advantage. Compact and pleasing overall shape. Very good head, eye slightly small. Tail carriage good enough. Nice color variation. To start off with, dog and handler seemed to travel two different paths on the move as there was no contact between the two. With a little guidance this was soon remedied and then the equipage looked so much better moving round the ring!
Bargeway Nearly an Angel of Zaandvort, almost two and half year old bitch, who I would like with better color. Good outline and well-made body. A little strong in head, but has excellent eye shape. Tail just OK, but ideally should be tighter.
Szaryk Queen of the Night
LIMIT BITCH (11)
Kichigai Ups a Daisy ShCM, a little over three years old, very beautiful type of bitch, but shown in rather plump condition. Her type and outline are excellent. Very lovely head, good eye and expression. Nice bone. Very well carried tail. Good coat texture and color variation. Despite being a little overweight, she still moved very well.
Vandersee Wedding Belle, coming up four years. A very feminine bitch of lovely breed type and proportions. Very much out of coat, but the little she had was in excellent order. Feminine lovely head with excellent eye and expression. Good side movement. Very good color variation. Has quality – now needs a new coat.
Neradmik High Society at Skathki JW ShCM
OPEN BITCH (7) – the best in this class were simply outstanding!
CH. Torrikees Victoria’s Secret, what a little gem she is! I loved her the moment she walked into the ring. A stunningly beautiful Keeshond female of outstanding breed type shown in immaculate condition. Sound as a bell and so completely balanced. Feminine from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail. Such a sweet feminine head and expression, ears spot on. Looked a picture standing, but really excelled on the move – she has the wonderful brisk true movement of the breed. Lovely color variation. Absolutely delighted to award her the CC and Best in Show. She also won Best Mover in Show.
Int CH Lyntova Midnight Dream (IKC), also outstanding with many lovely qualities. Feminine, top quality bitch of lovely breed type and balance. Shown in top form and very well handled. Very correct standing. Her head shape is lovely, she has super dark eyes, only shape could be a little better. Compact, sound and steady mover. 1 & 2 are two absolutely gorgeous breed representatives. I see Midnight Dream is a full sister to my dog CC winner. Res CC and Reserve Best in Show
Neradmik Sunday Lovin Morvania
VETERAN BITCH UNDER 10 YEARS (6-1 abs.)
Plymkees Limited Edition ShCM, nine year old delightful veteran who carried her years lightly. Very lovely type. Shown in excellent condition. Very nice head. Very well put together and an excellent mover for her age.
CH. Rossvale the Look of Love JW, shown in a wealth of coat due to having been neutered. Pretty head with eye dark enough. Ample body, very good bone. Moved well.
Leazehond Maddy Moonlight
VETERAN BITCH OVER 10 YEARS (4-3 abs.)
Mezanda Teacher’s Pet, a very sprightly, almost thirteen year old true veteran. In amazing condition for her age and enjoying her day out. Pretty feminine head and lovely dark eye. Good bone. Looked very nice standing. Good color variation. Her owner has every reason to be very proud of this lovely veteran.

BREEDERS BITCH (5-1 abs.)
Mezanda Teacher’s Pet, winner of Veteran Bitch over 10 years – please see notes above.
Liefkees Annabell, four year old bitch with very nice temperament. A little long cast. Has lost a front tooth, but dentition on the whole could be better.
Gallowtree Me and My Gal
GOOD CITIZEN BITCH (2-1 abs.)
Zaandvort Heaven’s Dream for Ednaaron, VHC in Veteran Bitch, eight and a half year old bitch. A little long cast and would like her more compact. Nice head, medium eye. Would like a better front on her. Moved well for age.

BRACE (2 )
Samoykees Exclusive Moon & Venway Believe in Magic at Samoykees (Imp NL), very well matched brace and very well schooled to put a very good performance.
Liefkees Angelika and ? – could not quite match the performance of the winners
