My Winners
Second Place - Pied class
RW’s Mira
Owner: Rebecca Ward | P-005 | Pied Agouti Female | Age: 2 yearsJudges Comments:
Beautiful slender body type (a side picture on all fours would make her shape easier to evaluate), nice vibrant agouti color, pied collar is nice -- just a bit broken on one side, nice straight tail -- could use a little more tuft, head is nice and broad and blunt, nice small ears, great whiskers, pretty almond eyes.
Owner's Comments
Mira earned 3rd place back in 2007 with the comment that she needed to bulk up a bit and to bring her to a future show. :)
Outstanding Senior - Colorpoint class
RW's Rebecca's Evening Coco
Owner: Rebecca Ward | CP-005 | Siamese Female | Age: 2.75 yearsJudges Comments:
This girl has a pretty head with nicely-shaped almond eyes. I love how her color darkens gradually and evenly from the top of her head to her nose. Her whiskers look nice and long! She does have the white under her nose and on her paws, but her nails are nice and dark. She looks like she has a pleasant, feminine build. My biggest concern is her tail. It looks like she either has lighter hair mixed with the dark hair, or her hair is thinning there. She is also not showing off her tuft in these pictures, which could be due to the angle.
Mid-Atlantic Show 2009
First Place - toilet paper tube chew
Bambi - a beautiful polar fox, shared first place with another gerbil in the toilet paper tube chewing contest. This was his first attempt in this class.
First Place - HamTrack Race, 4th Heat
Flower - a beautiful silver nutmeg spot made his first attempt in a hamtrack ball, and then once he figured out how to move the ball, took a powerful lead and ran for the finish line.

2nd Place Winner - spotted Class
RWG's Petunia
Owner: Rebecca Ward | #SP-007 | Spotted Black Female | 5 monthsJudges Comments:
A nice feminine build with a good head; she should mature well. Nice rich black color with a lovely spotting pattern. It appears there is a slight bend in her tail about 1/4 back from her body, but it might just be reflection from the flash. Can't wait to see her next year!
Third Place Winner - Spotted Class
3rd Place Winner
RWG's Mira
Owner: Rebecca Ward |#SP-008 | Spotted Agouti Female | 4 monthsJudges Comments:
This pretty little girl should grow up to a very nice show gerbil. Nice rich color, pretty spots, good straight tail and nice tuft. Lovely head and eye. Just help this girl add some muscle and mass and she'll be quite a contender next year.

RWG's Rebecca's Evening Coco
Owner: Rebecca Ward | #CP-004 | Burmese | Female | 10 monthsJudge's Comments
Pretty Burmese color with a nice thick tail and adorable ears. Back appears to have a bit of a dip.
Owner's Comments
Coco didn't show well in this show, but in 2009 she got Outstanding Senior. That shows how different pictures show off better than others. In the 2009 pictures, it shows that there wasn't really a dip in her back. It was just the way the picture looked. :)

RWG's Gandalf the Grey
Owner: Rebecca Ward | #SP-004 | Spotted Dove Male | 10 monthsJudges Comments:
This male seems to have a nice spotting pattern although his neck spot is not fully visible. Nice straight tail of excellent length and proportion. Keep putting bulk on this pretty fellow and try to get a clearer photo next time to show him off!
Mottled Class
Didn't Place
RWG's Lisa
Owner: Rebecca Ward | #M-004 | Mottled Burmese Female | 8 monthsJudges Comments:
The angle of this gerbil in the side view makes her hard to see. Specifically, judges will look at the back (for a dip in the neck) and the hindquarters (for a weak rear), neither are shown clearly here. This is too bad, because from what can be seen, she is a beautiful, fully mature female with nice mottling/markings.

RWG's Isaac
Owner: Rebecca Ward | #WB-008 | Ivory Cream | Male | 4 monthsJudge's Comments
Nice coloring and deep ruby eyes. This male still needs to mature into a more masculine build including a stronger rear.
Pup Class

RWG's Aphrodite
Owner: Rebecca Ward | #PUP-007 | RWG Aphrodite | Spotted Slate | Female | 7 weeksJudge's Comments:
Sweet, alert little pup with nice coat condition and color. Pied collar ever so slightly broken but very attractive markings. Good broad head and nice shaped eyes. Good body shape, should mature nicely.
