Pied Agouti Male
Age: One year old
Judges Comments:
A striking gerbil! Beautiful contrast between golden brown color and white collar. There is some color in the collar; a completely white collar is desired. Fanning whiskers. Gorgeous almond-shaped eyes. I would love to see him continue to be shown as he matures.

#P-012
Pied Burmese Male
Age: 2 years old
Judges Comments:
Lovely Burmese color. A full collar, with not much white fur through the rest of the coat. Great close up facial shot, which brings out his dark sepia points, even white markings, and a full set of fanning whiskers. Tail may taper before tip. Appears to have excellent male bulk, though a photo on all fours would better show off body type and tone.

Blackbird’s Ghost

#P-010
Pied Lilac Male
Age: 9 months old
Judges Comments:
Very shiny and perfectly prepared for the show. It is hard to see the lilac cast to the photo, perhaps because of the lighting. Even thickness throughout his tail. A clean underbelly and feet. He has a sparkling white collar.

#P-011
Pied Argente Female
Age: 7 months old
Judges Comments:
Extremely clean. Very white collar and orange Argente Golden coloring. Nice straight tail. Deep ruby eyes. She looks athletic. Though, this posture gives the appearance of a slight neck dip. I would like to see a picture standing on all fours.

Pied Black Male
Age: 2.5 years old
Judges Comments:
Jet black coat! Amazing wide collar. Great whiskers. Would like to see more tail tuft. He appears to have a proportional body shape, but it is difficult to see his type and facial features from these photos taken from above. Would love to judge this boy at a gerbil show.

Oreo
Pied Black Male
Age: 10 months old
Owner: Brenna Dinneen
Judges Comments:
A firm build. Soft fur. Nice set of whiskers. A clearer side view photo might do him wonders; as the angle/position makes the rear look not as strong as the thick chest, and the lighting casts a brownish hue to the coat and feet.

Zalda’s Brisa
Pied Burmese Female
Age: One year old
Owner: Ricardo Saldaño
Judges Comments:
Pretty whiskers. Soft looking fur, with just a little color in the collar. Nice white tail spot and dark points. Her tail is a good length, but a bit thin. Would do better with upper body mass.

LW’s Athena
Pied Grey Agouti Female
Age: Six months old
Owner: Shaina Newcomb
Judges Comments:
A slight female, with a proportional tail length and nice paintbrush-like tuft. There should be minimal golden color in the coat of Grey Agouti, as seen in the top picture/side view. Full fan of whiskers. Better camera angles and postures could show off her body and facial features more, as well as gaining more maturity and muscle.

SCG’s Piper
Pied Agouti Female
Age: Seven months old
Owner: Angela England
Judges Comments:
Feminine body type. Pretty almond-shaped dark eyes. Rich Golden Agouti coloring. There appears to be some white fur throughout the coat. The tail appears to taper toward the tip, at this angle.

Simon
Pied Siamese Male
Age: Three years old
Owner: Laura Kincaide
Judges Comments:
He has handsome facial features and beautiful whiskers. The tail looks slightly thin in this position. There is a hint of yellow in the coat, which could be the lighting. I would like to see him in person.

Amaranthine’s Eduardo
Pied Black Male
Age: 2.5 years old
Owner: Samantha Maurice
Judges Comments:
He has interesting head markings and a roaning effect which can happen as a dark gerbil ages. Soft appearing fur. Large eyes. Nice, proportional tufty tail. Slight staining on the neck (which competitors often wash out for live show).

Amaranthine’s Lily
Pied Lilac Female
Age: 2.5 years old
Owner: Samantha Maurice
Judges Comments:
Nice dark ruby eye color and widely set eyes. She would do better without the appearance of an off color in her coat. Standing on her hind legs brings out a slight neck dip, from the side view. Would like to be able to judge her in person.

Squeaks’ BWC’s Toby
Pied Black Male
Age: Two years old
Owner: Kylee Dickey
Judges Comments:
Lovely long set of fanning whiskers. He has some black color in his collar. Nice tail on this male, with great tuftiness. He might do well standing in a better position and at a different angle to show a stronger chest and neck.

CNC’s Buzz’s Honey
Pied Agouti Female
Age: Two years old
Owner: Katie Anastasi
Judges Comments:
Good golden coloring and even black ticking throughout and on the ridge of the tail. Lovely set of whiskers. Full, very white collar. Compact body, that could be more streamline. Clean, shiny coat. Flash gives appearance of white in the coat. What a darling!

Nicky’s Whisper
Pied Siamese Male
Age: 10 months old
Owner: Nicky G.
Judges Comments:
Handsome facial features, with even white markings. Evenly shaded Siamese body color. His tail has some lighter coloring (may be flash) and would be better if it were lying straight back.
