Last year, at this very same show Peony was awarded Best Bred by Exhibitor under respected breeder-judge Jan Pain of Ravensbeech irish wolfhounds from the United Kingdom. Her critique about Peony:

"Really liked this lovely bitch, giving her handler a hard time, but she has superb breed type, and classic proportions. Beautiful head and expression, lovely rose ears, good forehand and strong quarters used to advantage on the move, even though she did her best to throw this class away."
