Leeds City & District Championship Show - 24th July 2010 OD (5,1) 1 Ir Ch Lafford Trade Marc, I wrote in my notes Maltese, that is what this man is, so true to type from the tip of his black nose to the tip of his correct set tail, I can only say that he flowed through, in that nothing was exaggerated, his head was so balanced, perfect mouth, correct eye & expression, ears well set leading on to good shoulders, correct ribcage & level topline with tailset as it should be held well over his back, not having to push this boy’s tail over to make it stay, he was shown free standing & looked the picture, I loved him. CC & BOB. The group judge liked him too as he was in the last cut, he is such a wonderful Maltese. Judge: Sharon Johnson-Love
Matlock & District CS - 20th Feb 2010 Ir Ch Lafford Trade Marc W08, CW09 ShCM (Jnr Ch) Maltese. Beautiful male, put down in super coat and condition. Sweet expression with the darkest of eyes and pigmentation, good reach of neck, level topline well sloped shoulders, and tail carried well over back, sound as they come on the move, very nice indeed and a pleasure to go over. Best AVNSC Toy, Group 2. Judge: Vanessa Cox	Manchester Dog Show - 17th Jan 2010 Ir Ch Lafford Trade Marc ShCM. First class example of the breed and, I felt, the first and second way ahead of the rest of the males. In full coat, presented by a master craftsmen, not a hair out of place and handled both on the stack and the move to get every last ounce out of him. I thought first and second very close overall. Res CC Judge: Albert Wight
Leicester City C S - 31st August 2009 Lafford Trade Marc (Jun Ch) W08 CW09 Best AVNSC Toy + Group 1 + BIS BIS Judge: Mrs Anne Webster	Lafford Trade Marc He came, he saw, he conquered! Judged him as a Jnr last year, gave him RBIS at the prestigious Spire Toy Dog Show, now he returned here as a fully blossomed adult, he looked very much the part, super size, shape and make, good for type, jet black pigment, lovely dark eyes and rims giving desired expression, presented in profuse silky coat beautifully prepared, moved and showed really well with plenty of attitude. Won Best AVNSC, Best in Toy Group and much later still strutting his stuff went on to win Best in Show. Top class quality dog who with ordinary luck on this form should go all the way to the top! Judge: Mrs M Fox-Shone
