First Place

Nice bulky male, very masculine build maybe a little "chubby", but ok. When looking at the profile picture, first thing you notice is the thick colorpoint tale matching the body size and length, and of course, that awesome white tuft! Nice Siamese color, looking a little light, possible because of the Spotting. He has also the classic spots in nose and forehead. Nice whiskers, long and full, and bright eyes.
 

Second Place

This lovely young female will be a serious competitor next year if she continues growing up so nicely. Her face is adorable, with those full, awesome whiskers, and bright almond shaped eyes. Her fur looks really shiny and with a striking contrast between the black coat and that gorgeous collar.
 

Third Place

Really beautiful young male, with nice masculine body build and bulk. He has a striking Siamese color combined with a classic pied pattern: nose, forehead, awesome collar and tuft. The head is short and broad and well set into the body, with long, full whiskers, bright, almond shaped eyes, and erect, perfectly shaped ears. His tale matches the body size, and is thick and nicely colorpointed, ending with a nice, full, white tuft. He seems confident, and relaxed, and has a sweet expression.
 

Honorable Mention

Really rich Argente Cream coloring for this male, contrasting beautifully with the white collar. I love the perfect white diamond he has in his forehead, that, along with the nose spot and white tuft complete what we know as "classic" spots.
 

This young male has a really nice coloring, I particularly liked the even ticking and that he has, no molt lines. He has a really nice tail with an important, awesome tuft. Lovely bright dark eyes, and ears. He looks really healthy and clean, and his fur seems so soft I would like to pet him.
 

I really like the sweet face of this male with those lovely whiskers and eyes, and also the striking contrast between his nice shiny black coat and the collar. Good bulk and build for his age. Really nice gerbil! The close up is so good I can even see his eyelashes!
 

Another excellent example of what the Standards call the "classic spots": white spots in nose, forehead, and tuft, all those centrally spaced and even combined with a great white collar. I especially like that white diamond in her forehead! Nicely shaped ears and bright almond shaped eyes, and those whiskers are really long. The tail seems to match the body size and length, and has a great tuft. Her fur looks shiny and soft.
 

Even when the photo angle is different, I can notice the nice and feminine body build of this female. Her color also caught my attention: that silvery beige combined with those beautiful white markings, dramatically contrasted in the tail. Nice almond shaped eyes and long whiskers.
