First Place
MS's Marble
Owner: Katie Johnson
Mottled Black Female
6 months
Judges Comments:
Fully mature female with nice variegated markings in body and blaze. Clean and well prepared for show, well posed and photographed makes it easy to see what a lovely girl she is.
Second Place
DSG's Michelle
Owner: Cory Hoover
Mottled Black Female
4 months
Judges Comments:
She is good size and fully mature, LOVE how the back is completely variegated with a mix of black and white. Wonderful straight tail with full tuft. Pretty half-white tail markings. This gerbil is hitting the 75% white limit. Would not want to see any more white than this on a mottled gerbil. Hard to assess body type given photo angles.
Third Place
KK's Tutti Fruitti
Owner: Kaylin LeMelle-Thomas
Mottled Black Female
1 year
Judges Comments:
Very nicely shaped body and head, fully mature, like the variegated markings in blaze and color. Tail has nice thickness and tuft, though not held perfectly straight in photo.
Mottled Black Female
Judges Comments:
This is going to be one gorgeous gerbil. Her compact body size and long tail indicate she is a youngster making it difficult to compete with the fully mature ladies in this class. Wonderful marking, beautiful coat, great very straight tail and tuft.
Mottled Blue Female
Judges Comments:
Broad head, very nice blue coloring, more mature and streamlined body. She will be a real contender and may have done better on all fours. Standing poses tend to make gerbils look thinner.
Mottled Blue Female
Judges Comments:
Looks so much like M-003, they could be sisters. This is the less mature female, may be more pied than mottled. Tail not held straight. Cute little ears and nice fanning whiskers.
Show note: she is M-003's daughter.
