I would like to say thank you to Steve and Linda for their kind invitation to judge at this important and prestigious show. I was delighted to be asked particularly as I remember visiting the show as a child and remembering how very important it seemed. It is an honour to be on the other side of the fence! Thank you to the exhibitors for entering under me- I do really appreciate it. And lastly thanks to my steward Viv Rice who is her usual tower of strength and good humour.

A nearly 9 year old brown lady with lovely Burmese type. She has a very nice balanced short wedge with very good width at her cheekbones and tapering to a short muzzle with a nice blunt finish. The top of her head shows very good rounding and very good width between her ears that are set well apart and would for perfection have benefitted from being set slightly lower. Her ears are medium in size and have a broad base and rounded tips. Her eyes are large and lustrous and are set well apart and have a very well defined shape with a well rounded bottom line and a flatter top line angled towards her nose. They are yellow in colour still and she has an excellent Burmese expression. In profile the depth of her head is very good and her ears show a slight forward tilt. Her brow is gently rounded and her nose break is fairly well defined. Her nose is fairly short and straight and finishes in the same vertical plane as her chin which is medium in depth. Her bite is correct. Her body is a trifle plump but she still has good muscularity and retains an elegant stance. Her chest is rounded and her back is straight. Her tail is of medium thickness at the base and tapers to a rounded tip and is slightly short to balance. Her coat is medium in length and lies very well and she is a very nice warm mid-toned seal brown colour with a couple of white hairs on her shoulders. She is clear coated. Her condition is good and she handled well. A lovely example of the breed.

Mrs A Gregory

A favourite show with such a warm and friendly atmosphere and some outstanding Burmese to judge; the Hawaiian theme was great fun; there were many very special touches and the lunch was scrumptious.  Very many thanks to Steve and Linda for the invitation and excellent hospitality. I was also very grateful to Maggie Docherty for coming along to steward for me; I really enjoyed her company and thank her for her hard work. I must say what a brilliant idea it was to hold a Seminar at the show; it meant candidates, judges, stewards and exhibitors could all take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about Burmese
RED OR CREAM CHAMPION, FEMALE
1 GCC HALL’S CH MINOTOSA BRONWEN, 27D, F, 10.10.2004

The ears were of medium size, broad at the base and rounded at the tips. They had a slight forward tilt. The top of the head was gently rounded as was the forehead when viewed in profile. There was good depth to the head. Distinct nose break but the chin could be a little stronger. The eyes were set well apart, the top line slanted towards the nose and the lower line was rounded. They were chartreuse in colour and very expressive. Medium length body with a firm, muscular feel; rounded chest and straight back. Slender legs and neat, oval paws. The tail was of moderate thickness at the base and tapered to a rounded tip. Excellent coat quality and condition; it was short, fine, close-lying and glossy.

This boy was looking rather immature I felt. The head was short but he needs more width at the cheeks and the muzzle was rounded. The ears were of medium size and set well apart. There was a distinct nose break and fair chin. The eyes were rather almond in shape and slightly deep set. Muscular body developing. Slender legs and oval paws. The tail tapered and was a balanced length. The coat was of medium length but a little dry in texture and slightly coarse at the base of the spine. Warm chocolate colour. Excellent temperament, he was friendly and alert.
CHOCOLATE ADULT, FEMALE
This was a challenging class of high quality; I could easily have awarded several certificates. I did consider exhibit 25 for the BOB award, she was a pleasing female of lovely type but a little plump, which blurred her balance.
1 CC + BOB WILSHAW’S GR CH ROSSIKHAN CUPCAKE, 27B, F, 16.8.2007
A beautiful, feminine chocolate, she was so affectionate and friendly (it is such a clever trick to kiss the judge!). Excellent type and balance overall, the head formed a short wedge with width at the cheeks and a blunt finish to the muzzle. The ears were medium with the outer edge completing the shape of the upper part of the face. They were broad at the base, rounded at the tips and showed a slight forward tilt when viewed in profile. The brow was slightly rounded as was the top of the head. She had a distinct nose break and good depth to the chin. Beautiful eyes that were set well apart; they were an excellent shape, clear yellow in colour and really expressive. Her body was of medium length and though so feminine and elegant, she was an excellent weight and felt hard and muscular. Slender legs and neat, dainty oval paws.

Yet another very attractive female with very good type, style and expression. I really liked her head type with medium ears and large eyes of excellent shape, set and colour. Her body was hard and muscular with slender legs and oval paws. I felt her tail was a little short and that spoiled her overall balance. The coat was of medium length, fine, satiny and close-lying; the colour was a warm milk chocolate that was pleasing. Excellent condition and temperament.
4 PEARCE’S MERINDA TIGERLILLY, 27B, F, 18.7.2008
A sweet female with a gentle expression. The head formed a moderately short wedge, but the muzzle rounded and the eyes were almond shaped rather than the unique Burmese shape. Good profile showing a distinct nose break and good depth to the chin. The ears were of medium size and set well apart. Very good body, legs and tail. She felt firm and muscular. The coat was of medium length, slightly longer on the lower back and felt a little coarse there; she was shown in excellent  condition otherwise and had a friendly, affectionate temperament.
BLUE NEUTER, MALE
I considered exhibit 74 for the BOB award; I really liked his type and expression, but felt his coat was not as short as my winner’s.
1 PR + BOB ROBERTSHAW’S PR KYMIAN SHAMU, 27A, MN, 21.8.2007
A lovely big, cuddly boy who was so friendly and affectionate. Excellent type and balance overall; his head formed a short wedge with width at the cheeks and a blunt finish to the muzzle.

2 WRIGGLESWORTH’S MOLYNMEUX JUST BENTLEY, 27A, MN, 1.2.2008
Sadly this boy was very upset. He had tipped his water over and was soaking wet. He was not happy to be judged, so I did not prolong his time out of the pen. He had very good type but was tending to bonnet his ears although I feel that was because he was not happy. Very good eyes for shape and set with clear chartreuse in colour; his expression was rather worried though. Distinct nose break but I thought the chin could be deeper. Excellent body, legs and tail. Medium length coat of good blue with a silvery sheen. Shown in excellent condition.

Mr J Hansson

Many, many thanks to Linda, Alan et al for what appeared to be yet another successful Burmese Cat Club Show, wonderful atmosphere prevailed throughout, plus the added aspect of the Hawaiian theme to make it interesting & more fun for spectators.  I would very much like to say a big thank you to Sue Barrett who stepped in when my stewards could not make if for various reasons (all I hasten to add perfectly acceptable ones), she performed her duties with both skill & sense of humour.  I had some excellent quality exhibits & I really enjoyed my day, thank you everyone who played a part.

Imperial Grand Premier, Male;
IMP GR PR WILSHAW’S  GR PR ROSSIKHAN CRACKER JACK.  27c.   05-01-07.  Lilac, this lad now has a degree of size & maturity & looked extremely impressive, quality Burmese.  Short wide wedge, the muzzle showing well blunted finish, top rounds gently in both direct directions, excellent definition to the nose break, short nose, good chin & bite.  Ears larger medium size, with width at the base following through the wedge, rounded tips & slight forward tilt, set well apart.  Stunning eyes, large in size, excellent curve to the lower line with gentle slant to the nose on the top line, very impressive lustrous yellow chartreuse colour further enhanced with flashing indignation, wonderfully expressive.  Body is lithe & well muscled, good breadth across the chest, slim legs, oval paws, medium thickness to the tail, rounded tip, just a little short of shoulder.  Superb coat, excellent shorter length, incredibly sleek & glossy satin like finish.  His colour is even could ideally have a little more evidence of pink tone, but there is nevertheless a pleasing frosty dove grey effect.  His condition was splendid, has quite an attitude problem but keeps it an acceptable level (just) which undoubtedly enhances his type.
RES IMPR GR PR  PLAW’S  CH & GR PR RAINSONG XABI ALONSO.  27.   07-03-07.  Brown, a lad for whom I have a great liking & literally just missed out today.  Very masculine & handsome chap.  Excellent  mature head type, wedge short & wide, the muzzle has a good blunt finish, top rounds well, very good break in profile, excellent chin & bite.  Ears well placed when he relaxed fully, medium size, round on the tips, width to their base.  Lovely shaped eyes, well curved lower line & slanted top, very expressive, chartreuse in colour all enhanced by their larger size.   Excellent muscular body, well proportioned legs & paws, the tail well balanced slightly short of shoulder round on the tip.  Coat beautifully prepared, short & close lying, lovely sleek satin like finish.  Deep rich brown in colour which also has a degree of warmth to it & wonderfully glossy shine.  Super condition, enjoys a grumble but purely effectual.  

Brown Adult, Female; 
1st & CC.  MOORE’S  DULCAMARRA ANNABELINDA.  24-07-08.  I confess to deliberating over the certificate for this girl, but her type was excellent & other than her adolescent development which time usually has the answer for, in all other areas she was well worth the certificate.  Though still rather kittenish her wedge was short & possessed good width, blunt muzzle, top rounds gently, excellent break, good chin & bite.  Ears of larger medium size, well placed, wide base, round tips, gentle tilt forward.  Eyes large, well defined in shape, lovely expression, yellow chartreuse colour.  Body still very dainty & quite petite but her weight & tone in relation to her size was excellent, elegant limbs, tiny oval paws, tail fine & slightly shorter length.  Coat was an excellent shorter well prepared length, fitting beautifully, glossy sleek sheen.  Colour a warm brown which was even throughout.  Her condition was excellent, charming little personality, full of confidence.    
2nd  POWER’S  MAINMAN KISSOFINDIA.  26-05-08.  Another quite dainty & still rather immature young lady but again the type most pleasing & should continue to improve as she matures. Very good short wide wedge, with a good typical blunted effect to the muzzle, round top, break well in evidence, short nose drops of a little at its tip, chin & bite both good.  Well set ears, with good wide base & rounded tips, touch of forward tilt, larger medium size.  Eyes ideally could have just a little more definition to the lower line, gentle slanted top line, yellowy chartreuse colour, pleasing expression.  Body though still small & rather dainty, was weighty for size, has slim legs & small neat oval paws, fine tail with small but definite kink at its tip.  Short very sleek well prepared close lying coat, excellent texture.  Glossy dark even brown colour.  Condition & temperament both excellent.

Many thanks to Steve and Linda for their very kind invitation to be a judge at this prestigious club show.  There were some lovely cats which were a credit to the breed.  And yes, the competition is stiffer at breed shows but then the awards are more highly treasured!  Many thanks for Pat Tegg for ably stewarding for me in her own inimitable fashion. Thank you Pat, sincerely.

AC GRAND CHAMPION IMPERIAL MALE
IMP  GR  CH.. BRIDGES’  GR CH SANLIS DIAMOND GEEZER  M
 A really strong impressive male with excellent width on the top. The ears were really well set more on the sides than on top but they carried the outer edge of the head so well. There was gentle rounding on top. The side profile showed a really good short nose break almost ideal in depth and shape. He had large lustrous eyes in yellowy chartreuse. A short blunt muzzle completed a really attractive Burmese head. The legs were muscled and yet acceptable. They possessed good length and ended in paws that gave balance. The tail was of decent length; it was well shaped. The coat was excellent, a super mid-blue with silvering on the outer edges. It lay so well to the body and was quite short and fine.  A large boy who maintained the right proportions and whose head gave him the overall edge today.  Worthy of this high award.
RES IMP GR CH. KENNARDS’ GR CH MAINMAN KISSANOVA 27   C
An impressive boy of size and type and not overally masculine but well balanced. There was good width across the top with good gentle rounding generally with just a hint of flatness on top. The ears were so well set on the head being more to the side and not obtrusive but of medium small size. The nose beak was good, nose straight the chin was of good depth. Overall I would have liked just a little more depth from the top of the head to the bottom of the jaw. The coat was excellent. It was short, fine and lay close to the body;one of the best today. The legs were of good length and well muscled. The tail was good for balance though for perfection it could have been just a little longer.   An attractive boy unlucky to meet the winner.
Also Considered for the Grand Certificate
MOORE’S GR CH ANOKHI BOY GEORGE  27C M  Another boy of quality who I have met before and though he has many admirable qualities he needs to be a little more ‘male in such as class as this.   A good head overall with very good ear set with a lovely forward lilt. A good width between these well set ears and gently domed across. The nose break was good and the eyes were of good quality for shape and size. He had higher cheek bones which set of the eyes well.  A short straight nose and a blunt muzzle of pleasing depth completed a very good head.  The lilac this coat was a slight darker toned dove-grey. However it was even in toning.   It was short and quite fine and lay well to the body. The legs were quite muscular and of good length ending in appropriately size feet for this book. The tail was of overall good shape and gave good balance.  An attractive boy and shown well today. 

PALLISTER’S CR CH PENWYHNKATZ CREMEDELIGHT 27F M  A boy of super temperament and so cooperative. I know showing working boys is never easy and today this boy was just a little out of show condition just needing some muscle tone and a little more weight on him. The head was very pleasing with good ear set and and the eyes were of good shape and size. The nose break was good and the chin of pleasing depth. The muzzle was just a little longer finer for my liking.  The coat was lovely colour being quite pale and even in toning with just a hint of mottling on the flanks. But what a super temperament and so cooperative.  Shown well.

CHOCOLATE OR LILAC PREMIER FEMALE

The nose was straight as was the line from the nose tip. There was good depth from top of head to bottom of jaw. The muzzle was short and quite broad. The muscle tone was excellent and the coat she wore was not as short as I would like but it was of a super texture and it had a good pinkish tone to it and it lay well to the body. The legs were slim and elegant and ever so feminine ending in neat trim oval-shaped paws.  The tail was very neat for length and balance and it tapered well to the tip.  A lovely attractive female who deserved this award. Shown in lovely condition.

Mr S Twigge

My thanks to the Burmese Cat Club for inviting me to judge at their annual club show. My thanks also to Kaye Wilson for stewarding and handling all the exhibits so well. She really did an excellent job of settling down some of our rather fractious exhibits.

Open Classes:
CLASS 32 LILAC KITTEN (UNDER 6 MONTHS), FEMALE
1st & BoB Mrs Wilshaw’s ROSSIKHAN DADDYS GIRL (27c) F 11/01/2009
Rather a delightful kitten – a super start to the day (again)! She has large and lustrous eyes which have super definition to the upper lids and superb fullness to lower lids. They are rich golden amber yellow in colour and set very well. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle. She lovely rounding between her ears which are set well apart; they are nicely balanced; wide in the base and having rounded tips. She has a very typical contour to her upper face. Her profile shows very good depth to her skull. She has good rounding to her brow. She has a well defined nose break and a straight nose line, whilst her lower jaw has good depth I would like a little more for absolute perfection. Her chin sits correctly aligned to her nose in a straight vertical plan. Her body has good weight for her size and is beginning to look slightly unbalanced in that she has obviously had a growth spurt recently and she has become rather long in the body. She has a straight back and strong chest. Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a rounded end. She still has a kitten coat at present, it is a warm even lilac. It had a super fine texture and satin like feel to it. Shown is excellent condition, she is a very confident girl who is very sweet and gentle – such a shame to wake her up from underneath her multi-layered blankets. How did she cope in the heat?

CLASS 32A LILAC KITTEN (OVER 6 MONTHS), MALE
1st Mrs Langham’s PREFERE ALBUS DUMBLEDORE (27c) M 24-10-2008
A very relaxed young who had a very serene posture as we reached his pen – I could swear he was meditating! He has reasonably large muddy yellow eyes, which have a pleasing slant to his upper lids and reasonable roundness to his lower lids. They are set quite well but his head is at that “in between kitten and adult stage” of development at present. Face on he has a short wide wedge, which due to teething was a little pinched today. His bite was level. He has gentle rounding between his well set ears. They are good for size and shape. His contour to his upper face is pleasing. In profile he has a reasonably deep skull. He has a gently rounded brow. His break lacks definition (due to his teething no doubt). He has a straight nose which falls away a little at the very end. His lower jaw was rather shallow and slightly set back. His body is developing nicely and has excellent weight. He has a straight back and a rounded chest. His limbs are neat and in keeping with his body having oval paws and the correct stance. His tail balances, and tapers from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat has medium length. Is soft and silky to the touch. It is a rather pale lilac in tone with a slightly cool toned mask. He is a lovely lad who is very friendly and a pleasure to meet. I suspect he may become a wise old sage like his namesake.

CLASS 35 RED KITTEN (OVER 6 MONTHS), MALE
1st & BoB Mrs Kempe’s OAKENSHIELD FORTISSIMO (27d) MN 14-12-2008
What a charmer this young man is – “a proper schmoozer” as my old Gran would say. His eyes are a rich deep amber yellow and really need to be larger as they are somewhat on the medium to small end of the spectrum at present. They have very good shape to the upper lids but the lower lids could be much fuller. They are set correctly in a head that is still a work in progress. Face on he has a medium length, medium width muzzle which was a little pinched due to teething. He has gentle rounding to the top of his head. His ears that are set well apart, they are good for size and shape. He has a pleasing contour to his upper face. His skull was a medium depth and has a rounded brow. His nose break needed more definition (possibly due to his teething). He has an essentially straight nose that fell away little towards the end. His lower jaw has barely acceptable depth and really need much more for balance, it was also receding a little. His body was very well grown for his age being firm and solid. He has a strong chest and a straight back. His limbs are of an appropriate size for his body. They have oval paws and they show the correct stance. His tail was a little short to balance, but tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat was reasonably short. It has very good texture to it. It is a pale but bright red, currently with a few smudges to his inner fore legs, a remnant of a necklace which will hopefully blend in as he develops and scarab but a clear tummy. Shown in excellent condition and a lovely young man who behaved impeccably! Was he named for his very loud purr I wonder?

Miscellaneous Classes:

1st The Misses Mooney & Reid IGRCH MAINMAN KISSCHASE (27) F 21-5-04

2nd Mrs Kennard’s GRCH MAINMAN KISSANOVA (27) M 6-4-07
I have to confess to having a wee bit of glee at finding I was handling this exhibit as I am often penned next to him at shows but rarely see him for myself as he prefers the underside of his vet bedding. He has large and lustrous pale yellow eyes. They have very good shape; they have a good slant to the nose in his upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They are set well apart in his broad, well developed head. All in all a very good Burmese expression.

He has a gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart thereon. His ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are suitably sized to balance his head nicely. They enhance the contour of his upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile his skull has good depth. He has a gently rounded brow. He has a good nose break, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which could be deeper for perfection. It was unfortunately set back a little. His medium sized body feels less weighty than his sized belays, it did have good muscle tone however. He has a rounded chest and a straight back. His limbs are neat and elegant with spoon shaped paws. He has the correct stance; taller hind legs. His tail was just short to balance. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat was a rich warm brown in tone, it was very clear and even but had a few stray white hairs on the back of his neck. It was also short in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture. He was shown in excellent condition. He was very relaxed and handled very nicely for us and sat contentedly on the table whilst I wrote him up.

A grizzly exhibit today. She has large and lustrous pale yellow-chartreuse eyes. They have pleasing shape; having a good slant to the nose in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids.

She has a good nose break, a straight nose line with a little falling away to her nose and an acceptable lower jaw which ends in the same vertical plane as the end of her nose; it does need greater depth for balance. Her large sized body felt weighty and had good muscle tone. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are in proportion to her body with oval paws. She has the correct stance with taller hind legs. Her tail just balances to her shoulder. It tapers well from a somewhat thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was well mingled with various shades of red and a rather dark chocolate especially around her face, it was very clear and even. It was also an acceptable length, whilst being soft and silky in texture. She was shown in good condition. She was rather tense and did not really show herself to her best today I suspect.

CLASS 112 AC NEUTER
1st Mrs Robinson’s PR ROSSIKHAN STATUS SYMBOL (27c) MN 3-11-07
A stunning lad if a tad upset. He has large and lustrous rich golden eyes. They have excellent shape!!! Superb definition to the slant of his upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They are set well apart in his broad well balanced head. All in all they have an excellent Burmese expression – it is nigh on text book. Face on he has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very broad blunt muzzle. He has a level bite. He has a pleasingly rounded head and ears that are set well apart thereon. His ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are suitably sized to balance his head. They compliment the contour of his upper face but their profile tilt was hard to assess due to his humour. In profile his skull has good depth. He had a gently rounded brow. He has a very well defined nose break, a straight nose line. He has a reasonably deep lower jaw which ends in the same vertical plane as the end of his nose. His medium sized body felt weighty and had good muscle tone. He has a rounded chest and a straight back. His limbs are neat and elegant with oval paws. He would not stand for me but I can see his rear legs were longer than his fore. His tail balances to his shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat was a warm lilac in tone with correct pink caste, it was very clear and even. It was also very short in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture feeling like satin. He was shown in superb condition. He is such a stunning boy that is a real shame to see him so upset, he was not aggressive just fearful I think.

CLASS 150 CREAM KITTEN
1st Mrs Robinson’s MOLYNMEUX GOLD DUST (27f) M 23-12-08
A simply stunning kitten who goes from strength to strength. Excellent expression in his large and lustrous rich amber yellow eyes.

Face on he has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. He has a level bite. He has good rounding to the top of his head. His ears are set well and are in proportions for the size of his head. They are wide in the base with rounded tips. The enhance the contour to his upper face nicely and have the correct profile tilt. His skull shows good depth in profile. It has a rounded brow and a well defined nose break with a small bump midway along his nose which hopefully will straighten out. His lower jaw has good depth and sits in the correct plane to the end of his nose, I would prefer this to be a little deeper for absolute perfection though. A solid body which is growing nicely, with a well rounded chest and a straight back. His legs are elegant yet sturdy and in proportion to his body. They have taller hind legs and neat oval paws. His tail balances well and tapers beautifully to a paint brush tip from a medium base. It has amazing length to it. There are hints of powdering developing in his appealing pale cream coat which is really rather clear except for a couple of smudges to his rear legs. Whilst his coat has a kitten texture to it, it is none the less soft and silky and very short. A very confident young man who was shown in super condition, he has an adorable temperament and was very relaxed. He is really rather wonderful – I have admired him from the first time I met him.

Only one entry but well deserving this award. He is a beautiful tabby and white with lovely eyes and a fab pink nose leather, shown in pristine condition.

Well done to Chris and Dave he is a credit to you.
