This male is a really, really strong, beautiful male. Sizing nicely. Good capacity up front. Really balanced through his type, so I really thought these two set themselves apart as a pair up here at the top of the class. Both presenting bright, excellent, well-defined crimp and character. Linking those traits together on solid frames." Royal Knight also received Blue Ribbons from the 2024 CABA Classic & AWE shows.
