Rahi of Waterfield, owned by Rumiko Küllsen, Germany This male has a nice build and soft clean coat. Straight tail, would like to see more tuft at end. Sitting up and eating (while adorable) makes it harder to judge his chest and topline. Nice wide collar, ideally in the pied there would be no color mixed in. However, that would be highly desirable if he were to be bred into a mottled line |

Ginger, of Gerbiland, owned by Mariana Laura Regi, Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina This sweet girl is showing her age, the indent above the haunches on the side view shows her looking thin/light weight. Excelled pied markings including a wide clean collar and nice agouti coloring. Nice eye shape as well. I bet she was quite a looker in her day. |
3rd
Puffball, of Gerbils in Hats, owned by Gail Payne, Gloucester, MA Looks to be a gorgeous Burmese in the front view with a wide dark mask and dark feet. There is some white in the chin and chest. The angling of the side view make it hard to judge his shape/build and the carriage/straightness of the tail. From what I can see he appears to be aging very well. Unfortunately, the photography is holding him back. |
Best Opposite
Nugget, of Midsummer Clan Gerbils, owned by Heather Griffith, Morgantown, West Virginia Very Nice! While not the full muscular male build of a boy in his prime, he is still quite large. His coloring and spotting pattern are excellent including a nicely tufted tail and large tail spot. He has minimal molt lines. Attractive headset and eye shape. He would show even better if given a dust bath. The photography and angles are good making him easy to judge. |

Bonnie, of Freddie's Friends, owned by Isaiah Lee-Shim, Lexington, Massachusetts Wow, she is quite a beauty. You’d never know she was a senior. She has a wide dark mask and dark points: ears, feet and tail. Love the tuft which starts at about halfway down her thick, straight tail. Her coat is thick and plush. She would show even better with a dust bath. |
