If I were judging, it would be a seven-way tie... thank you for coming, hand me seven ribbons and let me I pet the winners!
I read this about what this particular judge said about his winner -

The Best in Show judge, whose first language is not English, said of the win, "xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx... is exactly the same like I studied in the standard that was about 150 years ago. Outstanding dog. Moving and type was super. All the others were wonderful."
