Welbourn + Goddard’s Lafford Marc My Words from Zumarnik. The most elegant Maltese bitch I have had my hands on! A true silk coat slightly off white and each hair thick and heavy hanging close to her body contouring her outline. A short backed bitch with a lovely high tail set, carried nice and high as well making her profile on the move extremely pleasing to the eye. Well proportioned head with good stop and medium sized dark eyes. Good pigment and halos. Lovely front and rear end with long neck allowing proud head carriage as required by the breed standard. Movement true coming and going. Shown to perfection by the most gracious handler. CC

Midland Counties Ch Show 23rd October 2008

Welbourn & Goddard’s Lafford Marc My Words from Zumarnik, cobby little girl, could not take my eyes off her as soon as she entered the ring, lovely Maltese in a small package & although small I was pleasantly surprised to find a lovely firm body under her long silky coat, pretty head, well pigmented & sweet expression, her shape, outline, topline on the move was just a delight to see, moved true. I only hope she gets a fair crack under future judges against the larger perhaps more opulent girls. CC

BIS Judge: David Roe (Sunshoo)

She is short, cobby, round, perfectly proportioned. Her head is well balanced with a good stop. Her eyes dark and expressive, her excellent pigment helps to promote this look. Her coat is of a good straight silky texture. Her topline never falters.
