"1st place Puppy Dog was YAMATO GINGABRED BY FONZ, a very attractive overall sound young male with a lovely head and expression, true coming and going, excellent tail carriage and kept his shape on the move at a nice even pace. This dog proved to be my eventual Challenge and Best of Breed Winner.  I was not surprised to learn that he is close to gaining his Ch title at such a young age and have also learned since the show that he again won Best of Breed the following day."
