Congratulations To Our Grand Champion Yodel and Grand Champion B Kujyaku (ID 9655)!

KOI Name: Yodel

KOI ID: 10363

Variety: Kohaku

"This koi is a grand champion. When you first look at this koi the first thing that jumps to our eyes you notice the body confirmation. You know for this size that she definitely has a great body confirmation. She also has a key pattern too. The pattern is simple but very balanced. This koi definitely has a great future potential and I believe the owner will take good care of it. Again Congratulations Mr. Zimmerman." - Shinoda Koi Farm

KOI Name: Kujyaku

KOI ID: 9655

Variety: Hikarimono (Hikarimoyo / HikariUtsuri / Hikari Muji)

"This Kujaku is excellent, I thought this koi deserved to be grand champion. I believe that this koi could go to the All Japan Koi Show. Myself as a breeder I have tried breeding Kujaku several times but I never got this quality not even once. So I know how hard, and difficult it was and how much dedication it was to get this quality of Kujaku. This koi has so much great potential and I would love to get to see how this koi would turn out in the next few years. Congratulations Mr. Tao Hu! "  - Kanno Koi Farm
