Palacegarden Perdita
Palacegarden Osric x Goldpeke Desdamona of Palacegarden
Palacegarden Perdita, a daughter of Palacegarden Osric, began her show career in 2009. She has won five 1sts at five championship shows in puppy classes.
“Fawn/cream stands out in this class for type and shapeliness, cobby and low to the ground, equally feminine and expressive face with melting expression, excellent chin and profile, large, open nostrils, moved and showed with confidence.”
November 2009 - Invicta Championship Show
Palacegarden Osric - DCC and Best in Show by judge Bill Grant.
Palacegarden Osric
Livanda Santana x Palacegarden Tallulah
Osric has had a very good year in the show ring with numerous Firsts. He finished 2009 with 1CC and 3RCCs.
“An outstanding exhibit with a conformation which shows in his standing profile and in his excellent movement. The head shows all the characteristic features we look for – large lustrous eyes, good nose leather, level lips without weakness of chin. I could go on but, what the heck, he was simply the best.”

“Red brindle with a lot going for him, large open faced with good nose leather and open nostrils, level back, good shapely body with a high tail set, moved well.”
Palacegarden Baroque
Champion Palacegarden Donovan x Palacegarden Posh 2 RCCs
“Silver fawn , small dog with a beautiful rectangular head, all features were well laid out with no exaggeration, clear easy to view expression, flat top skull, large dark eyes, open nostrils, loved the head, his body was no disappointment either, sound, compact, pear shaped, with a high set tail. I appreciated that his coat was not exaggerated and you could see his balance and shape. He moved correctly in one piece. A pleasure to award him the dog CC.”
Palacegarden Liberty
Champion Palacegarden Sullivan x Livanda Gucci of Palacegarden
“This was one of the strongest classes of the day, the winner (P. Liberty) was an outstanding puppy that moved around the ring as if she owned it, she was a lovely light red at this age, lovely open face, flat top skull, nose open and well placed, correct ear placement to frame her lovely features, her pear shaped body was compact and substantial, top line level, and high tail set completed this picture of excellence. She was Reserve Bitch CC and Best Puppy Bitch.”
