BRITISH NEUTER.

1. BOB. HILL'S IGR. PR. KATELORO MUMBO JUMBO. 16. MN. 18.1.08.
To me this British Blue boy of over 3yr., and showing good British type, is one of the best Blues around! Round head with good breadth and depth; neat ears with good space between; balanced round cheeks to muzzle line; level bite, short broad nose, firm chin; round eyes of gold giving him a very coy expression! Good size cobby body; broad chest; short well boned legs, neat paws; balanced tail. What a coat! - mid-blue in shade, really short, dense, and firm, completely sound to roots. He has such a gentle shy personality, and a pleasure to judge. He was shown in good condition.
