Partially sessioned female puppy goes best of breed over fully sessioned adults under judge with a male preference. It's a nice puppy but I wouldn't have thought - that nice?

Oddd....

I think it's the combination of her much higher SOP than the adult dogs as well as the much better numbers in the judges preferred traits.
I think, too, when judges say they base the dogs off the quality of their own breed rather than overall quality, they're much more likely to put up a dog who isn't completely ring ready.

She's a better dog.
