City Of Cambridge Open Show 2017

Judge Mr Nick Gourley - 1st PG D'Arcy & Dufffield's Paavali's Mr Fantastic. Litter brother to Junior winner and what a cracker. The same size, make and shape as his sister, perfect size for a dog. Makes a stunning shape stood, a proper little football. Foxy expression. Thick coat and perfect tail set. Dinty limbs and so sound on the move. Lots of attitude both here and even more so in the Group and therefore BOB and G1. Pleased to hear later that he also went RBIS.

BIS Judge Paul Eardley - Res BIS, I was at the other end of the spectrum in selecting the dainty Pomeranian, D'Arcy & Duffield's Paavali's Mr Fantastic. This little charmer put on a sparkling performance, so cocky, handled well on the table and strutted his stuff perfectly on the floor. He is only just over 1 year of age so there is no doubt more to come from this young man. Was well handled and presented to advantage.
