G2: Egor van Guardian
G3: Cargo's Illuminated Manuscript
G4: Tähti Friendly Fire
Comments: G1 goes to the bouvier, i think this pose is really, really special and it stands out to me because it's such a gorgeous example of a low-headed dane pose. the dutch shepherd is G2, another gorgeous, clean pose, and the heavy striped brindle is a great example of the breed standard. G3 goes to the OES, i love this pose - it is so even and sturdy looking, and it's a stunning example of the PFM edit file in a perfect pose. finally, G4 goes to the finnish lapphund - i love this little guy's high, proud head - it really makes him stand out!

Comments: G1 goes to the border terrier, the breed ring was really really strong and this dog really stood out to me with it's high-headed snout; the front of the muzzle also looks really even with just the right amount of fuzz showing for the snout floof on the breed. G2 goes to the mini bull terrier - such a stunning low headed pose, the dog looks really striking and i think this file really does shine in a low headed dane pose. G3 goes to the jagdterrier - i really love the nice clean lines of this pose, everything about it is so smart and tidy looking, finally, G4 goes to the american staffie - once again, an incredibly clean looking and striking pose that really makes the dog look sturdy, like a dog of the breed should be!

Comments: G1 goes to the pug, such a stunning pose, i think the high head helps the dog look chunky and proud like pugs often are! G2 goes to the lowchen, really lovely clean & elegant pose on a very elegant and fancy looking breed! G3 goes to the klee kai, this ring was tough but this little guy really stood out with his lower head carriage and nice curved back-of-the-neck. finally G4 goes to the cavalier king charles spaniel, i love how serene this pose looks and the head is really solid and rounded, which makes the overall dog look really tidy and compant

Comments: G1 goes to the lagotto - i think this is such a gorgeous dog and the pose is perfection, with a nice balance over the entire dog. G2 goes to the kai, i love how stocky and sturdy this dog looks in this pose, once again it gives the dog a lovely balanced look. G3 goes to the miniature poodle, this is such a lovely pose with a proudly-held muzzle and a nice bright expression. finally, G4 goes to the shar pei - i love the overall smooth-ness of this pose - good smooth liplines and the soft eyelids really flow with the wrinkles on the dog's face

SO many gorgeous PFM dogz. the spot pattern on the BOB dog is really striking, and ofc, the pose is pixel perfect (as is every pose in the ring). i also like the even-ness of the spot sizes across the body on this dog. there was a really lovely pose from a dog from the dragonstone file, however sadly the claws didn't match the pigment of the dog (liver). i love rich dark brown eyes in black dogz.

BOB: Cargo's Lord Fallon
BOS: Cargo's In the Highest Keeping
AOM: Cargo's Singular Vision
Comments: some very nice poses here! these PFM poodle ears have me zooming in with my magnifying glass. i like an as-even-as-possible on the two big head poofs on the pfm and pfm-edited files! and an even or 1px forward back toe alignment for the cleanest legs.

GROUP
G1: Dragosani MŁODY GNIEWNY
G2: Myriad Boy with Luv
G3: Mirabeau Grand Battement
G4: Crowned Jewelz
Comments: G1 goes to the lagotto - i think this is such a gorgeous dog and the pose is perfection, with a nice balance over the entire dog. G2 goes to the kai, i love how stocky and sturdy this dog looks in this pose, once again it gives the dog a lovely balanced look. G3 goes to the miniature poodle, this is such a lovely pose with a proudly-held muzzle and a nice bright expression. finally, G4 goes to the shar pei - i love the overall smooth-ness of this pose - good smooth liplines and the soft eyelids really flow with the wrinkles on the dog's face

AOM: Alohomora/Cargo's Mint Chocolate
Comments: oooh scary ring. SO many gorgeous PFM dogz. the spot pattern on the BOB dog is really striking, and ofc, the pose is pixel perfect (as is every pose in the ring). i also like the even-ness of the spot sizes across the body on this dog. there was a really lovely pose from a dog from the dragonstone file, however sadly the claws didn't match the pigment of the dog (liver). i love rich dark brown eyes in black dogz.

W3: Dragosani MŁODY GNIEWNY (Lagotto Romagnolo, Utility)
W4: Cargo's Common Garden Detective (Pug, Toy)
Comments: another gorgeous WC to judge. starting from the top, both the dogz in BIS and BW had me in awe at how stunning they looked in their respective poses and i really loved both dogz; the ibizan won me over in the end with that elegant low head, and it wasn't a pose i could get out of my head since i judged the hound group yesterday. i love the pose on the chessie in RW, petzy files often have a harder time looking super smooth in pose, but every part of this dog does perfectly in this regard. W1 goes to the border terrier, with a pose that really stood out to me in both a very competitive breed and group ring - once again, lots of clean lines and a blunt yet well-defined muzzle. W2 is the bouvier with the gorgeous low headed-dane pose, once again an absolutely lovely clean pose for a petzy file. finally, in W3 and W4 are the lagotto and the pug respectively - two stunning poses that really stood out in both of their breed rings!
