Milly now has 2 specialty BEST IN SHOW and 1 all breed BEST IN SHOW wins to her credit.

From the time of her debut "Milly" had the NZ Cardigan world in a whirl, shattering all previous win records, and lifting the bar for the breed in her home country.  She produced her first litter in October 2005, returned to the ring to take more classes In Group and a Welsh Corgi specialty Reserve Best In Show win under Peggy Kessler (USA).......then just before her 3rd birthday, on the 26th June, 2006 she was exported to the USA. 
 
In awarding "Milly" her first Welsh Corgi specialty BEST IN SHOW in April 2004,  Britain's Fran Fricker wrote:-  "Nine month old female, brindle and white, with great ring presence, head of correct proportions, good eye and expression, well shaped and placed ears, good length of neck on to well angulated shoulders, correct front and hind construction, strong bone, firm topline held on the move, good body conformation with defined waistline.  Well padded feet so typical of the breed.  A free mover with drive, super showgirl.  Her many qualities could not be denied and one I am sure we will hear more of in future".  
 
In awarding "Milly" her second (consecutive) Welsh Corgi specialty BEST IN SHOW in April 2005, Western Australia's Margaret McArdle wrote:- "Lovely bitch with good reach of neck, strong level topline and correct head proportions.  Dark eyes and well set ears.  She has correct body / height ratio.  Lovely sloping croup and correct tail set.  Moved truly round the ring both coming and going and from side.  Bitch CC, BOB, and BEST IN SHOW".
