Australian Grand Champion 
NYNKA ALPINE APOLLO

Critique by Doris Purdon, Vanwall, UK 
(on awarding him BISS)

The quality of this dog took my eye as he entered the ring and on examination I was not disappointed.  Fox like head with lovely expression, dark eyes and well set ears.  Good hard body and tightly curled tail. Colour and texture of coat was excellent.  When he moved it was a joy to see, so well presented and shown and fully deserved BOB.

Critique by Kathy Stewart, Klompen Keeshonds, Canada.  Judged Keeshond Club of Vic Ch Show 1999

"My eventual Challenge Winner and Runner up in Show.  A striking dog with showy attitude, great structure and soundness, well muscled, well put together.  Lovely dark eye, dark pigment, little ears, very harsh coat.  Overall very pleasing."

At home A.J. is cheeky, mischievous, very loving & devoted to his owners the Whincup Family.  When he sees me arrive at a show, he still is always happy to see me, wanting my attention. It seems he still feels some connection from his days as a baby at my home.

A.J. has always been competitive and together with his litter brother Levi they have been winning in the showrings of Victoria all their lives.  

AJ & Levi are the only litter brothers EVER to win BIS & RUBIS together at a speciality show in Australia.  To make it even more exciting they achieved this at Keeshond Club of NSW in 1997 with the largest number of Kees ever exhibited in a speciality show in Australia.  They were only 22 months old at the time. They have together won CC & Reserve CC at 5 Speciality Championship shows, and many ABCS.  I am very proud to have bred these 2 lovely litter brothers.
