Mrs L Ashmore

Many thanks to my steward Wayne Vessey who helped me through what was a very busy day. I enjoyedhis company and he was very good at keeping me on track.
ORIGINAL FOREIGN GRAND CHAMPION MALE
GR CH. Desolla’s GRAND CHAMPION BRUNNBAKEN’S SABESI.
Usual Aby with the most charming nature, he just loves everybody. Nice head overall, profile just a wee bit straighter than ideal. Well placed ears, chin could have more strength, teeth untidy but his bite is level. Weighty muscular body, lovely limbs and tapered tail. Excellent coat colouring fair texture very slightly open on the day. I think he must have been busy advertising his wares, as the aroma of stud cat was very evident as we approached his pen. A real pleasure to handle none the less.
RES GR. Wisneiwski & Smith’s CH INDASIA PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Cornish rex, lovely cream boy. Slightly narrow at his muzzle. Fairly good profile, chin could have more depth. Nice ear set and expression when he relaxed, but eyes can sometimes appear a bit on the round side. Stylish bodylines, lovely paws and correct length tail. Coat neatly waved generally, just a bit thinner and slightly flatter on his spine area. Rather nasty stud tail at the moment.
BURMESE GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE
GR CH. Tegg’s IGR CH BLOOMERS BARONESS BELCHAMP Lilac tortie.
A nicely balanced girl with very expressive eyes which were of good colour, shape and size. Defined break in profile, level bite and fairly good depth to chin. Ears medium in size, broad at base, rounded at the tips and showing a forward tilt.
Well muscled body of pleasing conformation. Super coat, soft in texture and lying close. Pleasing lilac with shades of cream throughout. Well presented in lovely healthy condition.
RES GR. Riddle’s GR CH CHATHERA PRECIOUS PEARL
Choc tortie with a slightly worried expression. Another very lovely example. Good profile lines, chin has depth but is very slightly set back. Expressive eyes of good colour. Well placed ears with gently rounded top of head between. Strong body of good overall conformation and weight. Attractive colouring. Warm chocolate with shades of red. A charming girl.
ORIGINAL FOREIGN GRAND PREMIER MALE
GR PR Bower’s UK & IMP GR PR GREMECA MEATLOAF.
Black smoke Cornish. One of my all time favourite cats, now starting to show his age a bit, but at well turned 14 that’s not too surprising. Just perfect head with typical Cornish expression sadly lacking in many of today’s Cornish cats. Firm body of correct proportions. Lovely paws and correct tail to balance his size. Soft coat well waved over his entire body and all down his legs. It will be sad when he retires but I would be more saddened if he could only be awarded low placings. He does so deserve a happy retirement before that happens. What a fine ambassador for the breed he has been.
RES Deacon PR KOORAHK KEUN JY
Korat. Very slightly longer nose and a bit narrow at the muzzle. Fair chin and level bite. Typical expression to his lovely eyes which are a good colour. Well placed ears of good shape and size, flared at the base, giving an alert expression. Good body shape limbs and tail, all in proportion. Very nice coat showing desired silvering. Well presented.
AOV FOREIGN GRAND PREMIER MALE
GR PR BAYLEY’S PR. NEMOREZ AZUREDELIGHT
Blue Tiffanie Short wedge with acceptable break in profile and level bite. Fair eyes.
Chin could have more depth. Very solid body of good weight and size. Lovely limbs and correct tail to balance. Beautiful coat, well groomed. Not easy to handle but not at all aggressive.
AOV FOREIGN GRAND PREMIER FEMALE
GR PR Moreland’s TOBYSDEN FANTASIA
Brown spotted Bengal, a super cat well shown in tip top condition. Pleasing overall type, good strong body, sturdy limbs and nice tail to balance his size. Superb coat quality, perfect texture, clearly marked. Shy but not aggressive.
USUAL ABYSSINIAN MALE
BOB Desolla’s GR CH BRUNNBAKENS SABESI.
USUAL ABYSSINIAN ADULT FEMALE.
1 cc Lockwood’s SYRINX VOILETTA
A little shy but bit of a madam too. Nice profile line, fair chin, level bite. Lovely expressive eyes and well set ears. Good body shape, limbs and tail. Superb coat of good texture and colouring. Very clear ticking, solid tail tip and small heels.
2nd Harrison’s MERRYDANCER DAISY
Another little madam with a good ‘look’ to her. Large tufted well set ears which I just loved. Fair profile and chin. Nice muscular feel to her body, dainty limbs and good tail to balance. Coat close lying, not a rich in colour as the winner, but clearly ticked. Well presented in good condition.
CORNISH REX ADULT MALE
1 cc Wisniewski & Smith LARKFIELD MAKEWAYFOR INCA
Black smoke youngster, slightly apprehensive but handled well. I think maybe his apprehension was making his eyes look a bit on the round side, which spoilt his expression somewhat. His ears were rather ‘mobile’ too, again I considered due to
how he was feeling. Slender body, lovely paws and tail long enough to balance. Soft gently waved coat, slightly thinner on his spine. Well shown.
CORNISH REX ADULT FEMALE
BOB Desolla’s IGR CH INDASIA MIRISKA
Blue smoke girl I have handled more times than I can count, looking very good today. Beautiful type and typical Cornish expression.
KORAT ADULT MALE
1 cc Nichol’s CH TINY GLAM HOO-A JY
Very mature boy of going on 6 years with well developed jowls. Bump and downward curve in profile. Pink pigmentation on his nose. Medium sized ears set wide, fairly firm chin. Very strong muscular body and good size and weight. Good shaped tail but it seemed very slightly short to balance his body size. Very good silvering on his close lying coat which was a fraction thicker on his shoulders just now.
2 Edward’s GR CH KOORAHK PEE SAKORN
A pleasing lad with nicely balanced type overall. Nice eyes but colour not as good as the winners. Fair chin. Good body shape, limbs and tail. Coat short, fine and close lying. Showing some light silvery sheen overall. Well presented.
KORAT ADULT FEMALE
1cc & BOB Nichol’s GR CH NIKELSILVA LUNA
Super example of the breed with balanced type and illustrating the heart shaped head perfectly. Slight stop in profile followed by downward curve. Ears of good size, shape and set. Fabulous eyes of good colour and set correctly. Colour clear green.
Good body conformation and correct tail to balance. Super coat close lying, glowing with health and breaks when she moves. Very good degree of silvering throughout.
A well presented girl looking at her peak.
2 Hawkin’s CH HIBREEZE NIMNUAN LALIWAN
Mature girl of 8yrs 9months. Another super girl who said she’d seen it all before. Good overall type, well set ears of correct size and shape. Expressive green eyes. Cute pink patch on her nose. Compact body well muscled and of good shape. Pleasing coat showing some silvering throughout.
EGYPTIAN MAU ADULT FEMALE
BOB Higgins & Kennedy IGR CH ADCINSH SOBEKOTEP MWSHERI
1CC Knight MAUOLOGY SERENITY
Nice type overall. Very slight bump in profile. Level bite and fair chin. Expressive eyes of nice colour. Good body shape, limbs and tail. Especially nice coat with super clear markings.
USUAL ABYSSINAIAN NEUTER MALE
1PC & BOB Mappin’s GR PR SYRINX SCHERZO
Slightly grumpy lad with rather a lot to say for himself. Large tufted ears well set. Very slightly narrow in his muzzle. Expressive eyes of pleasing colour to contrast with his coat. Well muscled body, good limbs and tail. Excellent coat texture, good base colour and clear black ticking. Just a few grey roots…haven’t we all.
CORNISH REX NEUTER MALE
BOB Bower’s UK & IMP GR PR GREMECA MEATLOAF
1PC Marshall’s PR INDASIA RHINESTONE COWBOY
Most attractive lad with pleasing expression when he relaxed, but at other times tending to fullness. Slight muzzle pinch at the moment, which is not helped by the distribution of colour on his face. Stylish body shape, slender limbs and good tail to balance. Nicely waved coat and charming character. Well presented in excellent condition. A pleasure to handle.
KORAT NEUTER MALE
1PC Deacon’s PR KOORAHK KEUN JY Rep
KORAT NEUTER FEMALE
PC & BOB Russell’s KOORAHK SUMI
Not in the best of moods today, so it took a great deal of skilful handling by myself and my steward to enable me to assess her enough to award her certificate. There was no mistaking what breed she was with the perfect ‘look’ in her eyes, which were large and luminous green. Medium size body, lovely paws and dainty feet. Tail heavier at it’s base and tapered to the tip. Pleasing coat quality with silvery sheen throughout. My thanks to everyone who entered cats under me.

Mrs C Bamford

I thank Dorothy, Ann, Maureen and the rest of the committee for the invitation to judge at their show. Suzy Blackbourn stewarded for me and was a great help.

Black Adult, Male:   1 CC & BOB:  OAKES’ CH JENZJEWELS ZACHARIE (1) 16/05/08.  Young male who is still a little immature but he has a good shape to his body, nice bone and a tail length in proportion.  Although his head is not perfectly smooth he has good type with a broad head, neat ears, pale orange eyes, a broad short nose, level bite, round cheeks and a strong chin.  His coat is a good length, well groomed and almost sound.

Red Adult, Male:  1 CC & BOB: STEPHENSON’S WESTHOLME ROCKNROLL. (4) 09/04/08.  Only a youngster but a good size with nice type.  He has a cobby body with strong bone and a short tail.  His round head has good width between neat ears, a short broad nose, level bite (with one incisor out of alignment), round orange eyes, nicely rounded cheeks and a good chin.  His soft mid red coat has been stripped out so that he has no ruff but the colour is sound to the roots.

The rest of my classes were miscellaneous and I am happy to give anyone a verbal critique.  I can be contacted on 01484 711493 between 6pm and 9pm most evenings.

Ms A Beattie

My thanks to Dorothy for inviting me to judge at this show and to the committee for making me feel welcome. It was nice to see so many familiar faces after my time away from the fancy. Thanks must also go to my friend Kaye Wilson who (foolishly) volunteered to steward for me and was great support on the day. Perhaps I may return the favour…some day.

Class 824 - SUPER PET: AC LONG/SEMI LONGHAIR MALE
SP  Jackson’s MC SIMBA What a charming boy!! Lovely, large framed, red tabby boy. Trim and athletic physique…no flabby tummy here. Beautifully prepared and presented. His flowing coat had been groomed to perfection, no snarls or tags as warrants entries into this class. He wore his lovely large ear furnishings with confidence. His eyes were large, bright and expressive. Later he began to demonstrate how one should swish the plumed tail to its best advantage.  Stylish boy….

Class 826 – SUPER PET: AC SHORTHAIRED, MALE
SP Kidd’s MC ALFRED What a sweet and delightful boy. Beautifully presented and prepared, tabby and white boy. I had to check my judges book again as I thought he was too pretty to be a male. He was calm and confident; a delight to handle. The white of his coat was pristine and the tabby pattern he wore on the white like a designer jacket was accessorised by a splotch on his nose and a cream splotch under his chin, sporting a fashionable solid black spine line…very chic. Lovely large, bight eyes that were to die for. He wears his 11 years like a much younger cat….stupendous exhibit…a stunning example of a real  HP show cat and a credit to his owner. A real pleasure for him to be my BIS cat.
Res SP Jackson’s MC ALEX Asleep in his litter tray…bless! And what a tart this boy turned out to be…he knows how to work a judge!! Well defined tabby markings on his head. The tabby markings on his flank were not quite as well defined but overall, ..very attractive. Perhaps could have done with a tad more show preparation…however it is that time of year when they are losing their coats. He was very experienced and friendly boy…just what this judge needs. I would suggest however that rolling around on the trolley with your legs in the air, does nothing for your  well endowed middle…some things are better to be laid on and not put on display. Another delightful exhibit and unfortunate to be up against my winner today.
Also Stewart’s MC BOBBIT Large and loveable boy but unfortunately overweight. Black tabby with very expressive eyes that offered silent observation with every tweak of his eyebrows. Longer hairs on this boy gave him quite an unkempt appearance especially since his coat was quite open and could have done with more show preparation. I remember this boy from many years ago and he’s still as delightfully sweet and friendly now as he was then. Exactly the temperament that one would expect of  a HP show cat.  Lovely to see an old friend.

Class 827 – SUPER PET: AC SHORTHAIRED FEMALE
SP Kidd’s MC DAISY  Younger lady..only 3 years old but wore her serenity like a much older cat. She looked quite the unassuming  black and white cat in her pen but once out and  in our arms she just sparkled her way into our affections. The  black of her coat was glossy and her white was clean and bright. I loved the fact that in all those pink pads she had one black pad.  She was our wrap-around cat of the day, using her paws and tail to her advantage. She loved being on her back in our arms and was generous with her cuddles and affection. She was very inquisitive and wanted to know what was going on all around her.  A lovely sweet girl  who was a pleasure to handle. Another super example of a HP show cat.
Res SP Bower’s TALLULAH A much older lady than my winner but looking  exceptionally good for her age. Her heritage is quite obvious but does make for a very pretty exhibit. A blue tortie with a splendid white bib, sporting a close curly coat. Her coat felt glorious …I could have squidged her for quite sometime but that would have just become perverse. Her colouring was beautifully subtle..as one would expect of a dilute tortie. Unfortunately could have done with a tad more show preparation.
Also Hutchinson’s LILYBETH This young lady was not a happy bunny although my steward was able to handle her without it becoming a major issue. Beautifully prepared and exquisitely presented this very pretty girl perhaps would have done better if she hadn’t been so nowty on the day. She was sporting a nick in one of her ears suggestive that she’s nowty at home from time to time too. She had big, beautifully bright eyes that were pale in colour. She was a wonderously muscular cat who’s coat was a dead give away to her heritage. Fabulous coat with beautiful markings that was fine, soft and laid close to the body. Just wish her language had been a bit more socially acceptable.

Class 829 – BLACK & WHITE SH ADULT 1st & BOC Kidd’s MC DAISY  
Class 833 – AOC SHORTHAIR ADULT 1st & BOC Jones’ MAXWELL Another beautifully prepared and presented exhibit. A dark grey coloured coat with an unmistakeable, brilliant white patch on his tummy. A shy but exceptionally sweet boy who handled well. Lovely bright eyes that were interested in everything that went on in the show hall despite his shyness. He felt glorious to the touch, another measure of his owners attention to detail concerning his show preparation. Keep up the good work.
2nd Jones’ WEEBLE Sadly this boy was not happy at coming out of his pen and therefore was difficult to assess. He just wanted to be left alone and his stress was manifesting into physical symptoms. Pretty colour of cream on quite a fluffy coat. Good size and well developed for his 10 months. I hope that he settled down once he was home and in familiar arms.
Class 836 – AC LONGHAIR OR SEMI LONGHAIR KITTEN I have given the exhibitor and show team the benefit of the doubt concerning the title of this class as according to the catalogue and my judges book,  both exhibits entered  are shorthaired. 1st  Davies’ LIBBY If they did korats in tortie coats..this girl would have fit the bill perfectly. And what awful language from such a young lady!! Naughty tortie indeed. However she was all mouth and no trousers. Although a blue tortie,  there were ghost tabby markings on her legs and tail. Her one cream foot sported pink pads…which I loved. A lovely heart shaped faced with lovely golden eyes. She obviously was not happy with us so we didn’t force the issue. I hope she settles down into her show career.
Class 837 – AC SHORTHAIR KITTEN 1st & BOC Jackson’s MILLIE What a chocolate box kitten!! Adorably sweet! Very attractive blue tabby and white colouring. Very exotic looking with a wide innocent and trusting expression. She loved us to bits and would happily have stayed tucked in the crook of my arm for the duration of the day. Well presented and prepared, a happy baby who took everything in her stride and let nothing upset her equilibrium. A joy and a delight to cuddle. Thank you to her owner.
2nd Doran’s GINGEE Another youngster with bad language…what is with the youth of today? What a beautiful coat; spotted tabby  of what looked to be a sorrel colour absolutely dripping  with golden glitter although I could see no white despite the description in my book. Well presented. Very tense and unhappy young man when we had him out. However, after judging I saw him with his owner whom he obviously adored, just lolling in her arms. I understand that this was his first show so perhaps his earlier behaviour was understandable. I do hope that he settles down into his show career and begins to enjoy it.
Class 840 – Ac Junior Adult 1st Jones’ MAXWELL, 2nd Jones’ WEEBLE

Dr B Bennett

My thanks to the Club for their invitation to this busy Show ably overseen by Mrs Tomlinson and her colleagues, Msdms Spottiswood and O’Dowd. Ross Davies stewarded for me for the first time and I hope it won’t be the last as he was a super steward and I had a most enjoyable day; I trust he did too.
IMPERIAL CLASS. ORIENTA GRAND CHAMPION MALE.     
IMP GR CC to ARMITAGE’S GR CH CHAPELROSE OHMEOHMY.  (37a) 1yr 6mths. Very striking and stylish boy with an excellent equilateral wedge head adorned by large ears spaced beautifully and flared in line, oriental shape and incline to his clear green eyes with a bold imperious gaze. Profile virtually straight, chin slopes back just a tad but muzzle has depth to it, incisors wayward but on average level. Body long and lithe, might have a hint more substance for preference, limbs and tail balance. Coat lies close and is of good soundness, typically slightly dull rather than showing the sheeniness of the blacks, very even blue shade.

1. IMP GR CC Withheld.  CORBY & DOLAN’S IKISHIROO KIRASH TAMSIN.  (37a) 2yrs. Pretty lady though rather grumbly today.

Very good straight profile, chin slopes back gently, incisors just meeting. Firm body, proportionate limbs and tail. Coat of good close lying quality, tabby pattern is there on forehead, crown, nape, tail and limbs; spine a little indistinct as are the flank spots that show some linkage.

her team for the judging invitation and for the excellent hospitality. I was fortunate to
have some lovely cats to judge. Tom Cassar-Simmonds was my very good steward
and companion for the day – many thanks Tom and I look forward to the next time.
OPEN CLASSES
Oriental Grand Premier Male
IMP GD PC – Hinchcliffe’s GD PR JADEVYN PHARAOH (37fn) 12/09/02. A
handsome neuter, not the largest of cats but he has some excellent qualities and he is
very stylish indeed. Lovely head with excellent top line and large flared ears set to
balance. Oriental eye shape and set with typical expression and very good clear green
colour. Excellent profile and deep strong chin, bite very untidy with several incisors
missing but looks reasonably level. Neck well defined, body of very good length,
perhaps a touch rotund in the middle these days, long slender limbs, whip tail needs
an inch to balance. Super coat colour, hot sandy toned apricot with the bare minimum
of diffuse pattern evident, sound to roots, length good, texture a touch dry down the
spine but lies close. Had a few rude things to say for himself but otherwise handled
well. Excellently presented in tip top condition.
2nd R w/h – Nelson’s GD PR TIDDLYPOO JUSTIN TYME (38d) 25/02/06. A
great big lad of good type. Broad medium wedge with good top of head, ears large
and well set. Oval shaped eyes well set, colour a good mid green. Almost straight
profile, chin a little weak and goes back somewhat, bite is level - albeit rather untidy,
pinch to a muzzle that lacks strength when compared with the rest of the head. Very
good length, substance and tone to body, strong limbs, tail needs an inch to balance.
Rich red coat more in keeping with a red self rather than a spotty as the pattern
generally lacks clarity, there is some reasonably well defined spotting on the sides but
elsewhere is it is quite indistinct. Coat texture gorgeous, short sleek and very close.
The sweetest boy to handle, very friendly and gentle, purring the whole time.
Excellently presented.
Oriental Grand Premier Female
IMP GD PC – Ryan’s GD PR SPINNING JENNY (37g) 26/03/06. Lovely type
and style to this lady with size and substance to boot. Strong head for a female with
excellent top line and large wide based ears set to balance. Oriental eye shape and set
with very good green colour. Strong profile and deep chin with level bite. Body has
good length and substance , tummy line perhaps a tad too comfortable, limbs long and
slender, tapered tail needs an inch to balance. Blue tortie coat a touch on the dark side.
it was well mingled with pale and mid cream and was mainly sound to roots, coat
length and texture excellent, beautifully sleek and close. Super temperament and
condition, excellently presented. I understand this makes her an Imperial today –
many congratulations.
2nd R w/h – Rowe’s GD PR FOXYPAWS SUA LAI (43a) 20/08/05. A neat and
dainty lady of good type. Medium length wedge with good top line, ears in proportion
and well set. Very good shape and set to eyes with excellent vivid green colour.
Almost straight profile and deep chin, bite untidy with only one incisor remaining but
looked reasonably level. Comfortably covered body of medium length, dainty limbs
and neat oval paws, tail to balance. Coat colour a good medium blue, but shaded
pattern very heavy for a mature girl, and I would have expected to see the undercoat
higher up the hair shaft on a cat of this age, coat length and texture very good. A
sweet and gentle lady who was very easy to handle and excellently presented.
A.C. Siamese/Balinese Champion Male
GD CC – Gibbon’s GD CHFOXTWIST AL FRESCO (24b) 14/01/99. A strong
and masculine lad of excellent type. Broad medium wedge with wide top and very
large wide based ears excellently set. Oriental eye shape and set with typical
expression and mid blue colour. Slight dip to nose, good chin, bite very untidy but
level. Long well muscled body in top condition for age, long strong limbs and spoon
paws, tapered tail almost balances but shows some stud tail today. Points colour rather
dark but has good warmth of tone, mask a little brindled. Ivory coat that was
completely un-shaded, most impressive for a 10 year old cat, texture a touch fine.
Handled well and was excellently presented.
A.C. Siamese/Balinese Champion Female
1st GD CC w/h – Linklater’s CH PLEAZETOBE PUREANSIMPLE (24n)
18/04/07. Dainty little queen of good type and style, I have judged this lady fairly
recently and I still have doubts about her colour. Even medium wedge with good top
line and large ears well set. Good shape and set to eyes with brilliant blue colour.
Almost straight profile, chin okay and bite level. Long dainty but weighty body, long
dainty limbs, whippy tail almost balances. Her points colour is more fawnish lilac
than caramel at present, at two years of age she should be much more sludgey toned
than she currently is, and her coat colouring is not quite correct for caramel. Given the
closeness between lilac & lilac-based caramel there are always bound to be cats that
that are somewhere in between the two, and this lady would appear to be one of them.
Coat length and texture good today. Excellent to handle and excellently presented.
2nd – Corby & Dolan’s CH IKISHIROO KIA JAM (24c) 11/10/05. Another dainty
lady who I have also judged very recently. Of good overall type and style with fairly
well balanced head. Eyes of almond shape and set correctly, colour mid blue. Almost
straight profile and good chin, bite untidy but level. Firm toned body of good length,
slender limbs and spoon paws, tail well tapered but needs length to balance. Good
points colour, and almost unshaded magnolia coat of super texture. She is a dear little
queen with an excellent temperament but for me lacked that something extra for the
certificate. Excellently presented.
Oriental Black Adult Female
It is very unusual to have 4 black adults to judge in an Open class these days, so my
thanks to the exhibitors for the opportunity to do so. I just wish that I had had more
than one certificate to give.
CC – Hudson’s CH SHADOWSQUAD ANGELOFDARKNESS 26/09/07. This
stylish lady looked particularly good today, her maturity is good and she does know
how to show herself to the best advantage. Very good head and top line with large
flared ears very well set. Excellent expression to eyes of very good shape and set with
clear green colour. Small dip to nose, firm chin and level bite. Long elegant body
with an excellent firm tone to it, long limbs, tail a little short. Dense sleek glossy
black coat that was really sound to roots. Super temperament and condition,
excellently presented.
2nd – Rice & Rice’s SEIDO SULTRESS OF SWING 13/04/08 . Another very
stylish girl who was most unlucky to be up against the winner, she just lost out on her
bite and lack of maturity today. Very well balanced head with wide top and large
wide based ears very well set. Almond shaped eyes of clear pale green. Straight
profile and firm chin, bite very untidy and looks marginally over. Excellent muscletone
to long body, dainty limbs and good whip tail. Excellent coat, so glossy it was
almost sparkling, with gorgeous close texture. Excellent to handle and beautifully
presented.
3rd – Hogan’s CH SENSUAL MIDNITEMAGIC 10/08/05. Mature lady with some
very good qualities, just one or two minor things putting her down the order today.
Strong head for a female with large ears very well set. Oriental eye shape and set with
mid green colour. Almost straight profile, just a slight bump at the end of the nose,
good deep chin and level bite, small pinch to muzzle. Long firm and elegant body,
long limbs and spoon paws, whip tail needs an inch to balance. Dense black coat that
was sound to roots, but texture a little too fine and lacking the glossy sleekness of the
other two girls today. Excellent to handle and excellently presented.
4th – Helm’s FLOWERDEW MAGIC NOIRE 19/01/08. Very good size and
substance to this lady of good type and style. Medium length wedge, top line could do
with a little more width for balance, ears of good size but set marginally close. Oval
shape to eyes, setting okay, colour mid green. Slight dip to profile, muzzle could be a
little finer, chin good, bite has only a couple of top incisors remaining, which is a pity
in such a young queen. Well covered body of good length and tone, long quite strong
limbs and neat oval paws, tail needs a little more length. Sleek black coat of very
good length and texture and sound to roots, unfortunately she had a good many white
hairs scattered about. Super nature and excellently presented.
A.C. Oriental Longhair Kitten
1st & BOB – Fullerton’s STARAPPEAL SCENESTEALLER (62 43a) 25/10/08.
A strong and very well grown little boy of very good type, the younger of the two
boys in this class but much the larger of the two. Typey head with very good top
and large well furnished ears set to balance. Oriental eye shape and set with good mid
green colour. Strong profile – love his fat nose, good chin and bite. Well developed
and weighty body of good length, longish strong boned limbs and large oval paws,
tail almost balances. Soft mid blue colour to coat, pattern somewhat ambiguous as yet
with the slight visible spotting going almost down to the roots in places, however, as
he is very young and there is plenty of time for the pattern to lift, I gave him the
benefit of the doubt today. Coat length good for age with the plume beginning to fill
out nicely, texture excellent, very silky and fine. A very sweet boy excellently
presented.
2nd – Webb’s PIPPASTRO BLUE CALIFORNIA (62 43a) 17/09/08. This lad is
very stylish indeed, albeit rather dainty for a boy of 7 months. Super head with very
good top line and large very we furnished ears set wide. Oriental eye shape and set
with pale green colour, sporting a slight ”look” today. Good profile and chin with
level bite. Body of good length with weight appropriate to size, slender limbs and
neat paws for this breed. Cool toned mid blue coat colouring, but the pattern is very
dubious at present, - more so than the other boy, with little evidence of any definition
between shading and undercoat and being almost sound in places. Coat length good
for age and texture simply gorgeous, ultra silky and fine. A little shy but gentle,
excellently presented.
Oriental Bicolour Kitten Male
1st & BOB – Davies CHEZ ERAGON OF WICCANWAYS (48b) 16/09/08. A
most attractive boy for type and pattern. Stylish head with very good top line and
large well flared ears set to balance. Super eyes for shape and set with excellent
vivid green colour. Good profile and chin with level bite. Long elegant and firm
toned body with long slender limbs and long whip tail to balance. Chocolate coat
colour good and warm in tone for this breed, white patching in all the right places, on
head and limbs with underbody completely covered to just over the one third
requirement. There is some bleeding of the white into the coloured areas that could do
with a tidy up. Coat medium in length with good close texture. Easy to handle and
excellently presented.
Oriental Bicolour Neuter Male
IC & BOB – Gould’s JADEVYN HONANI (48) 22/11/06. Extremely handsome
neuter boy. Strong head with very good top line and large ears very well set. Oriental
eye shape and set with such a snooty expression as he looked down his broad nose at
me, colour a good clear green. Strong profile and good chin with level bite. Long
elegant yet weighty body, long limbs, tail needs a touch more length to balance.
Dense black coat that was very sound, white shows in all the correct places but as the
underside was merely a narrow strip down the tummy he is very close to not having
enough white as required by the SOP, he does have quite a large patch on the
underside of one of his hind legs which may just put him on the one third, so I
decided to be generous. Excellent texture to coat, glossy and sleek. Super to handle
and excellently presented.
Caramel Point Siamese Adult Female
CC & BOB - Linklater’s CH PLEAZETOBE PUREANSIMPLE (24n) 18/04/07
Red Point Siamese Neuter Male
PC – Webster’s PR NANPEMA RED RUMBA 14/02/08. This boy has good type
and style but is still rather effeminate and needs to mature. Stylish and well balanced
head with very good top and large flared ears well set. Oriental eye shape, set and
expression with good depth of colour. Almost straight profile, chin okay and bite
level. Long slender body with good weight for size, long elegant limbs and spoon
paws, tapered tail needs an inch to balance. Paler but bright red points with limbs
very pale indeed. Medium length warm white coat that was lightly shaded overall,
texture a little dry over the back but lies reasonably well. Very sweet tempered and
easy to handle. Excellently presented.
BOB to – Thorpe & Thorpe’s GD PR JOHPAS SUNNY JIM 16/03/06. A lovely
boy, very stylish and with excellent substance. Very good head for type and strength
with wide top line and large wide-based ears excellently set. Oriental eye shape and
set with very good deep blue colour. Good profile and chin, bite very untidy and
appears marginally under. Long weighty but firm and trim body, long strong limbs,
tail needs length to balance. Good rich bright red points and virtually un-shaded warm
white coat of excellent sleek texture. A little bit grumpy today but handled okay.
Excellently presented.
MISCELLANEOUS CLASSES
A.C. Oriental Debutante Adult
1st – Short’s CHAPELROSE FROM ME TO YOU (37m) F 18/06/08. Dainty
female, only just adult and still rather kittenish as yet. Type good and colouring most
attractive with rich warm tones to both cinnamon and red, coat very sound and of good
close texture. Eye colour good with clear green tones. Tail has a small "pip" at the tip.
Excellent temperament and overall condition.

grown and promising boy. Lovely expression to eyes with excellent eye colour, vivid
green and true to the SOP. Coat colouring good but showing rather a lot of ghosting at
present, hopefully this will clear. Super tail that was really long and whippy. A very
confident young chap.
A.C. Oriental Neuter
1st - Hinchcliffe’s GD PR JADEVYN PHARAOH (37fn) MN 12/09/02

today. Extremely noisy but all bluff it would seem.
3rd - Rowe’s GD PR FOXYPAWS SUA LAI (43a) FN 20/08/05
A.C. Oriental Visitors Neuter
1st - Gould’s JADEVYN HONANI (48) MN 22/11/06

but length and texture gorgeous.
A.C. Siamese/Balinese Limit Adult
1st – Palmer’s STYPERSON TOP DRAWER (32/1) 01/07/08. I love this lady –
never mind that her ears are too big and hang on the side of her head like bat wings,
when she holds them correctly she looks lovely, her problem is that she is just too
relaxed… The rest of her, type, size, substance, eye shape and colour, is excellent.
A.C. Siamese/Balinese Junior Adult
1st Howard & Hanby’s AMARRICHI AURORA SQUISITA (24b) F 31/05/08. A
very attractive girl for type and colour. Stylish head albeit a touch too long in the
muzzle for true head balance but she has a very good top line to almost do so. Good
points colouring warm mid chocolate. Super coat, completely un-shaded ivory,
texture excellent today.

colour. Tail has small “pip”
A.C. Siamese/Balinese Senior Adult
1st – Meekings’ GD CH FIROUSI FREEDSPIRIT (32c) F 26/03/03. Beautiful lady
with perfect points colour, soft pale cool toned cream - rarely seen these days. Eye
colour needs to be deeper but then you can’t have everything….
2nd - Corby & Dolan’s CH IKISHIROO KIA JAM (24c) 11/10/05
A.C. Siamese/Balinese Visitors Kitten
1st – Cassar Simmonds’ SHADOWSQUAD PRADA (32b1) F 23/01/09. Gorgeous
little baby, very promising with a short strong wedge and large really wide based ears.
Such an inscrutable expression for a small person and the colour is excellent deep
brilliant blue. She is bit diddy at present but should have a promising future of she
grows well.
2nd – Corby & Dolan’s IKISHIROO JAM-BOUREE (24c) F 19/11/08. A well
grown kitten of fairly good type but slightly strange lilac points colour at this stage, it
appears to have quite a fawny overcast to it. Lovely eye colour, brilliant sapphire.
A.C. Siamese/Balinese Aristocrat Neuter
1st – Blackbourn’s PLEZETOBE PARDON MYFRENCH (24a) FN 18/04/07. An
attractive girl with an appropriate name, the language may or may not be French but it
is certainly very rude…. Good type and style with very good points and eye colour.

Mrs D Butters

My thanks to the committee for inviting me back to the Manchester. I was very lucky to have Stephen Bunce as my efficient steward as it turned out to be an extremely busy day with a huge number of cats in Open Classes. It’s down to his hard work and good company that we managed to get everything finished in time. Some of the Open Classes were really large and it was a privilege to be able to handle such lovely cats.

CHOCOLATE OR LILAC POINT BIRMAN ADULT
CC & BOB, MLYNEK & HAYWARD’S MLYWARD SONIE LAREKIE, 13c4, F, 27.06.08
Lilac Point. A lovely way to start the day, with a gorgeous young lady showing wonderful Birman type. Strong broad, yet feminine head with well filled round cheeks and a medium length nose showing a slight dip in profile. Well placed ears of medium size and in balance with the rest of the head. Large, almost round eyes, quite a deep shade of blue. Well developed muzzle and chin. Level bite. Balanced body of good length and weight for a young female of ten months, with a very well furnished bushy tail, proportionate to body length. Nicely boned limbs, short strong paws. Really silky coat, well developed for age with a full ruff around the neck, its off-white colour contrasted well with the pinkish-grey points, tail was a little paler than the other points. Well marked gloves and full gauntlets which ended about three-quarters of the way up to the hocks, left sock marginally longer than the right. A joy to handle and beautifully presented. Congratulations to her owners/breeders, as I was told after finishing, that this certificate had made her up to Champion today.

USUAL SOMALI ADULT
BOB, HINES’ CH STACYM QUINTESSENCE, 63, F, 27.04.06
A mature female showing elegance and femininity. Proportionately large ears, set high yet well apart, giving her a very alert expression. Head shows a moderate wedge with gentle contours and a slight indentation forming the muzzle. Obliquely set eyes, almond shaped and vivid green in colour. Nose shows a slight break. Level bite. Medium sized body, very well muscled indeed, long elegant limbs, oval shaped feet which were nicely tufted. Tail balanced the body length, quite well furnished and tapering slightly towards the tip. A very well ticked coat with a really rich apricot base colour ticked with black. Well marked face, good darker spineline and top of tail, beautifully marked heels. At the moment she is in shorter coat with a little ruff around the neck, though she did have quite full breeches. Playful and easy to handle.
CC, HINES’ STACYM TANTALITE TEMPTRESS, 63, F, 28.07.08
Only just into adult classes by four days, and this girl also had a lovely rich golden brown colour comprising a warm apricot base which was nicely ticked with black. Lovely large pricked ears, nicely furnished and set quite wide apart. Moderate wedge to the head, showing gentle contours and a slight indentation forming the muzzle, full head breadth still to develop. Good slight nose break with a slight rise to the forehead. Bright green eyes, almond shaped and set obliquely, they were well marked with spectacles and pencil lines. Firm chin of good depth. Well grown for age with a muscular, lithe body and long elegant legs. Nicely furnished feet of oval shape. Very well balanced tail, full brush present and tapering slightly towards the tip. Well developed ruff framing the face, soft dense coat of medium length to the body, full breeches. Well marked heels and spineline. Today she was a little nervous and tense though we were able to assess her without a problem. In comparison to my BOB winner (who I now see is her mother), she looks a little kitten-like as expected, though she shows promise and should look even better as she matures.
2ND PORTER’S SUPATOFT WILLOW THE WISP, 63, F, 23.04.08
A well grown female who was nicely muscled. Proportionately large ears, set well apart yet high on the head. Gentle contours to the head which had a good moderate wedge. Spectacles surrounded the large pale green, almond shaped eyes. Eyes were set in a nice oblique setting. Ideally I would like to see a little more curve to the profile though it did have a very slight nose break present. Slight indentation formed the muzzle. Her chin could be a little firmer though it was of good depth. Body of medium size, balancing the head size well. Long limbs and well tufted toes to the oval shaped feet. Very well furnished tail, broad at the base and tapering slightly towards the end, tail length balanced the body well. Overall she had a cooler brown colour than the previous two because the base colour was a rather cold beige tone instead of a rich apricot. There was some grey evident within the base colour, though it was clear at the roots. This girl had excellent black ticking and a black spineline, top of tail and heels. Coat of good length, ruff framing the face, full breeches and a dense soft texture to the body. Placed second today because of a combination of profile, chin and cooler colour. A well presented young lady.

AC COLOURPOINTED OR MITTED RAGDOLL ADULT MALE
BOB, HAWORTH’S IGR CH DIZZIPAWS BRUCE, 66, M, 02.08.06
Seal Colourpointed. A super chap all round, he has real presence. Medium sized ears, set wide apart with a flat plane between them, sitting on a strong broad masculine head. Very well developed full cheeks, well defined rounded muzzle, nose of medium length with a gentle dip present. Medium shade of blue to large, slightly obliquely set eyes. Level bite, firm chin. Really long muscular body, broad chest, lovely substance to limbs and large round paws. Nicely furnished bushy tail, tapering slightly towards the base. Some ruff present, dense coat of medium length to the body, quite full knickerbockers. Dark seal brown points, limbs and tail slightly paler than the head, though still showing contrast with the beige body colour. Back and sides of the body had some darker shading present. Wonderful to handle and beautifully groomed. I loved the way he continually kneaded the air all the time we had him out. What a happy cat!
CC, GRIFFITHS & SCOTT’S RAGTASIA JAQUE SON, 66a, 21.06.08
Blue Colourpointed. A promising young man of ten months old, already showing a strong broad head shape, well filled cheeks and a very well defined rounded muzzle. Flat plane between medium sized ears which were sitting wide apart and with a slightly forward tilt. Mid blue eyes, large and expressive, set slightly obliquely. Good gentle dip to the medium length nose. Firm chin, level bite. Very well grown indeed, with a broad chest and a very substantial feel to the long body. Excellent large bone structure to the legs and paws. Long tail, reaching the shoulders, very well furnished with a bushy texture. Very well developed coat, especially for such a young cat, full ruff around the neck, dense silky coat of medium length to the body, full knickerbockers. Bluish white body colour, showing good contrast with the well developed points. Points were quite a deep shade of greyish blue and were even in depth all round. Easy to handle.
2ND PULLEN’S DIZZIPAWS ZEMO, 66aw, M, 12.04.08
Blue Mitted. Another very nice example of the breed. Medium sized ears, set well apart with a flat plane between them. Good strength to the head, cheeks filling out well, excellent definition to the rounded muzzle. Level bite, firm chin. Pale to mid blue coloured eyes, set slightly obliquely and good large size. Long body, weighty and muscular with breadth to the chest. I felt that his boning wasn’t quite as substantial as that of my winner’s. Beautifully balanced bushy tail reaching the shoulders. Bluish white coat of good medium length to the body, dense and silky feel to it, ruff present around the neck, well grown knickerbockers. Generally well marked mitted pattern with white going from the chin along the entire length of the underbody. White to back legs up to hock level. White mittens to front feet, the right one had a small extension of white going slightly up the outside edge of the limb. Medium shade of greyish blue to head, front limbs and tail. Very nice to handle and well groomed.
3RD LYNCH’S CHESAWOOD BURLINGTONBERTIE, 66, M, 15.03.08
Seal Colourpointed. This boy had a good strong head with balanced ears of medium size, sitting well apart and with a slightly forward tilt. Good flat plane between the ears. Expressive mid blue eyes, set well and of nice size. Beautiful nasal profile showing a gentle dip and slightly retrousse towards the tip. Well developed  cheeks and a good rounded muzzle. Level bite, firm chin. Solid boning to medium length limbs, long body which was of good weight and muscularity, tail reached the shoulders and was nicely furnished, tapering slightly towards the tip. Silky feel to the medium length coat, nicely grown ruff and knickerbockers. Beige body colour and although it showed quite a lot of darker shading, there was still contrast between the body and points. Seal brown points, depth of colour still developing, some brindling to the mask. There was little to choose between this boy and my second placed male, though today I felt that when evaluating the two together and considering the ages, I felt that overall my second placed boy just had the edge today on overall balance and coat colour development.
4TH HASSETT’S HAPPYTIME TUMBLERAG, 66aw, M, 31.03.08
Blue Mitted. A nice young man all round, showing promise. Head of nice shape with breadth developing. Cheeks filling out and he has good definition to the muzzle which was rounded in shape. Ears were of good medium size, though currently still sitting a little close together as he has not yet developed his full head breadth. Once his head finished broadening, the ear set should be really nice. Well set, mid blue eyes which were bright and expressive. Medium length nose with a gentle dip present. Chin could be a touch firmer for perfection though it had good depth. Lovely long body, well muscled and weighty, broad chest, nicely boned limbs and large round paws. Balanced bushy tail, reaching the shoulders. Medium shade of greyish blue to the points, contrasting with the bluish white body colour. Coat was quite full and dense, some ruff present, nicely grown knickerbockers. Well marked mitted pattern with lovely mitten shape, back limbs white to hocks and a line of white going from the chin along the underbody to the tail base. Very nice to handle.

CC, BARROWCLOUGH’S ROYALRUMBALLS LUCKY LEWIS, 66e, F, 11.11.07
Seal Tortie Colourpointed. The first thing I noticed about this young lady was her really bright blue eyes, medium blue in colour, and because of her tortie mask, they stand out like beacons – lovely. Very nice breadth to the head, flat plane between the ears which were set wide and slightly forward and medium in size. Cheeks quite full, very well defined rounded muzzle. Gentle dip to a nose of good medium length. Level bite, chin rounds off a touch at the end though was of nice depth. Long body, lovely weight and substance, very well muscled. Quite large bone structure to limbs, round paws. Bushy tail, reaching the shoulders and tapering slightly towards the end. Some ruff present, nicely length to knickerbockers, coat of medium length to the body, dense and silky texture. Body colour was an attractive mingled mixture of beige and cream. Very well developed points, all showing both seal brown and red. Very well presented.
2ND NEWMAN’S AMIGAMIA FORGETMENOT, 66a, F, 04.05.08
Blue Colourpointed. An affectionate girl who was easy to handle and well presented. At the moment, she is going through the adolescent stage with everything still to come together. Head of good overall length, though currently on the narrow side with full breadth yet to develop. Consequently, her ears are a touch large and still sit a little too close together. Cheeks yet to really fill. Large bright eyes, medium shade of blue. Initially they appeared a little too round and bold, though were much better once she relaxed in her pen. Very nice profile with a gentle curve to the medium length nose. Muzzle tapers a little, needing to fill out for true balance. Nice breadth to chest, very good long muscular body, quite large boning to limbs, round paws. Lovely tail length, easily reaching the shoulders and very well furnished with a bushy texture. She had lovely coat qualities, full ruff and knickerbockers, dense silky coat to the body. Pale bluish white body colour, very well developed points all round including the limbs, all similar in depth and mid greyish blue in colour. She should look much more balanced once her head development catches up with the body.

CC & BOB, HOWARD’S NOYNAROCK AUGUSTO, 67 31, M, 11.05.08
Black & White. A wonderful chap – my take-home cat of the day. Beautiful strong triangular shaped head of excellent overall length. Large, very well furnished ears, set very well, in line with the outside lines of the head. Green eyes, oval in shape and set in a lovely oblique set. He really looks down his nose at you. Nasal profile shows a tiny change in direction rather than being ruler straight. Really large long body, balanced with the head size very well, he is very weighty and well muscled. Huge boning to legs and paws, with back legs slightly longer than the front ones. Long tail, easily reaching the shoulders, very well furnished and bushy. Currently in full coat with an Elizabethan ruff around the neck, lots of woolly undercoat which is covered with slightly coarser guardhairs. A Sylvester cat with white to face, tummy and feet. Great to handle and very well groomed. One to watch out for in the future.

AC NORWEGIAN FOREST ADULT FEMALE
CC, TWYMAN’S NORGESKAUKATT GOJENTA MI, F, 67 31t, 05.07.08
Brown Tabby & White. The youngest in the class and a very well balanced girl with a lovely head shape. Large, well furnished ears, set high and in line with the triangular head, Large green, oval eyes, set quite obliquely, perhaps they could be marginally more obliquely set for perfection. Excellent straight line to the nasal profile. Firm chin, level bite. Long body, very good weight and muscle tone. Long legs which were very well boned, round paws. She stands high on the back legs. Well furnished bushy tail, reaching the shoulders. Lovely coat, especially for such a young female, full ruff and knickerbockers, body had plenty of woolly undercoat and glossy guardhairs which were slightly coarse to make the coat waterproof. Even though there are no points for colour, I must comment on her good classic tabby pattern. Super to handle and well groomed.
2ND LAZENBY’S NOYNAROCK KERRON, 67 31et, F, 25.05.08
Tortie-Tabby & White. A nicely balanced female. Good triangular shape to the head with large ears which were set in line with the outer edges of the head. Obliquely set eyes, green in colour and oval shaped. Straight line to the nose. Chin was quite firm, bite level. Good long body, nicely boned long legs, back ones slightly longer than the fronts. Super tail all round, both for length and furnishings. Guard hairs evident though currently (as expected at this age and this time of year) she doesn’t have a much woolly undercoat. Some ruff and quite full breeches present. Very attractive tortie colours contrasting with the white areas. Very easy to handle and presented very well.
3RD GRANT’S NOYNAROCK ANYA, 67 31at, F, 11.05.08
Blue Tabby & White. I was very impressed by this girl’s size and substance. Good breadth between large ears, which were set well. Strong head, generally triangular in shape, though her muzzle area is a little rounded, rather than truly tapering, and this was the main reason for her not being placed higher in this class today. Green eyes, oval in shape and set in a good oblique setting. Straight line to the nasal profile. Chin quite firm, level bite. Beautiful body, long and substantial, leading to very well boned legs and large round paws. Long tail, easily reaching the shoulders, bushy furnishings. Coat developing length, good slightly harsher guardhairs present, some undercoat evident. Lovely to handle.
4TH PORTER & PORTER’S NOYNAROCK SIGHYSVALR-DATTER, 67 20, F, 23.05.08
Brown Tabby. A typical teenager, lovely long body though currently a little rangy. I really loved her large eyes, very well furnished indeed and set in line with the triangular head shape. Head of very good triangular shape, though for me, I would like it marginally longer at this stage of development. Obliquely set eyes, oval shaped and bright green in colour. Good straight line to the nose. Chin could be a little firmer. Long body and limbs, she stands slightly higher on the back legs. Very good tail length, reaching the shoulders and well furnished. Good length to the ruff around the neck, well developed knickerbockers, coat over the body has woolly undercoat and lots of glossy topcoat, though at the moment the coat is a little on the soft side. This girl has everything there - it just now needs to come together, which it should as she matures.

SEAL POINT BIRMAN KITTEN
1ST & BOB, WIGNALL’S BIJOUBIRMON HERITAGE ‘LUC, 13c1, F, 24.09.08
I was very impressed with this kitten. This seven month old female had a beautiful head shape, with a skull that is really strong, round and broad. Cheeks already full and round, tapering to a very well developed muzzle. Full chin, just rounds off a touch at the end. Medium to large sized ears, typical of a kitten, though they are already set well apart on the head. Large eyes, almost round in shape and mid-blue in colour. Nose has a slight dip in profile. Long body, she has a very solid and weighty feel to her, leading to thick set limbs of medium length and short strong paws. Well balanced bushy tail, proportionate to body length. Seal brown points developing very well, already covering the mask, tail and limbs, even in depth all round and contrasting very well with the beige body colour. Coat of excellent length for a seven month old kitten, ruff framing the face, silky texture to the body. Gloves were scalloped in shape, covering all toes. Socks could be longer, though they covered the toes on the back feet. Gauntlets were on the short side, I would like to see them both longer and fuller. This girl has such beautiful Birman type that I forgave the shorter gauntlets today. She was a dream to handle and groomed to perfection.

1ST METCALFE’S HIGHVIEW DIAMOND, 66w, M, 23.08.08

2ND VICKERS’ ROSYPOSY BUTTERSCOTCH, 66dw, M, 11.10.08
Red Mitted. This boy was very well grown indeed, with a really long, weighty and muscular body. I was very impressed with his body size and shape. Medium sized ears, set wide apart on the head, quite a flat plane between them. Large eyes, set slightly obliquely, currently two tone with mid blue centres and paler blue rims. Cheeks are yet to fill out, muzzle is currently a little on the narrow side, though rounded in shape. This could relate to the fact that he is currently teething. Chin quite firm, level bite. However, at the moment for me, the head is not quite balanced. As stated earlier, I loved his body, very impressive size and shape for one so young, very well boned legs, large round paws. Tail was very well furnished with a good bushy texture, length in balance with the body and reaching the shoulders. Red points developing nicely and showing contrast with the pale cream body colour. Nice mitted pattern. Coat was silky, currently on the shorter side, some ruff present. Lovely to handle.

Medium/large ears, set wide apart and there is a clear flat plane between them. Pale to medium blue eyes, large and set well. Nose of medium length, gentle dip in profile.

Medium shade of greyish blue to the points, already well developed and contrasting with the bluish white body colour. Two very small tummy spots present. Lovely full coat, full ruff and knickerbockers. The coat was of medium length, dense in texture with a silky feel to it. Today she was rather tense and uptight. I really hope that this was a one-off as she is such a beautiful kitten with a great deal of potential. Beautifully groomed for the show.
2ND KURTZ-WILLIAMS GROOVICATS BLUEANGEL, 66a, F, 16.10.08
Blue Colourpointed. Marginally older than my winner, and this girl had very nice mid blue eye colour developing. Quite a broad head, cheeks yet to fill out. At the moment, her ears appear a little on the large side, though they should balance well once this girl develops full head breadth. Initially her eyes appeared rather round and bold, though once she settled in her pen, they were much better. Nose of medium length, gentle dip present. Good rounded shape to the muzzle. Chin quite firm. Quite a long body, though not quite as substantial as my winner. Boning to limbs a little on the lighter side. Good length to tail, easily reaching the shoulders, bushy furnishings lengthening.

NORWEGIAN FOREST KITTEN MALE
1ST & BOB, GRANT’S NOYNAROCK RAHL, 67 31t, M, 15.09.08
Brown Tabby & White. An impressive youngster with a very strong, well developed head shape. Beautifully furnished, large ears, sitting just over an ear’s width apart on his triangular head. He does have a tendency to flare the ears, though they come up well once his attention is gained. Very pleasing eye shape, size and set, he certainly looks down his nose at you with those green eyes. Straight line to the nasal profile, tiny ‘drop-off’ present at the tip. Chin could be a touch firmer, though had very good depth. Lovely body length and size, he id deceptively heavy and very muscular. Wonderful boning to legs, back legs slightly longer than the front legs. Very well furnished tail, balancing body length and reaching the shoulders. For a kitten of seven months, he already has a super coat with a woolly undercoat and slightly coarser guardhairs, well developed ruff and knickerbockers. Nicely marked classic tabby pattern with a nice level of white. I see now that I judged this boy at the Norwegian Forest CC Show and he really has continued to fulfil that early potential. Great to handle and very well groomed.
2ND HIGHAM’S VESLEMOY CHARLIE CHOO, 67 31ts, MN, 25.08.08
Silver Tabby & White. A couple of weeks older than my winner, and he ran a close second. Clear triangular shape to the head, still typically a little on the narrow side, though should look really balanced once his head broadens. Ears, large in size, sitting high on the head and well feathered. Good oblique set to green eyes, nice oval shape. Long straight profile to the nose. Level bite, firm chin. Well muscled and long body, substantial boning to legs and paws. Beautifully furnished tail, reaching the shoulders, white tip at the end, like a fox. Long coat, really long guardhairs and a woolly undercoat, full ruff and knickerbockers. Currently, his coat is on the softer side to the touch. A promising boy, just lost out on head development to Rahl today. Very well groomed and lovely to handle.
3RD WALKER’S NORGESKAUKATT LEIF, 67 18, MN, 09.08.08
Silver Tabby. The oldest in the class, only just making it into the kitten class today. Wonderful large ears, nicely furnished and set in line with the outside edges of the triangular head. Bright green eyes, obliquely set and oval in shape. Good straight line to the nose. Firm chin, level bite. Very impressive body for size, length and substance. He also has very well boned limbs and stands slightly higher on the back than the front. Very well furnished bushy tail, balancing the body well and reaching the shoulders. A ruff framed the face, and he had full knickerbockers. The body exhibited lots of woolly undercoat, some guardhairs were present down the spineline though yet to develop down the side of the body. At the moment, he is a little out of balance with an adult body and a smaller, more kitten-like head, and this was one of the main reasons for him not being placed higher today. He was super to handle and well presented.
4TH SPENCE’S AMURUSKO KING LOUIE, 67 31t, M, 19.10.08
Brown Tabby & White. This boy was extremely well grown for six months old, and actually looks older. Good triangular head shape, already showing masculine breadth across the top. Ears were set well, in line with the rest of the triangular head shape, though ideally I would like to see them marginally larger at this age, so they will balance when an adult. Excellent straight nasal profile. Green eyes, oval shaped, though I felt that they could be a little more obliquely set, as for me, this detracted from the overall NFC expression today. Firm chin with level bite. Super size, long muscular body, really large boning to legs, large round paws. Well furnished bushy tail, reaching the shoulders. Good woolly undercoat present, guardhairs starting to lengthen, some ruff evident. He had good length to the knickerbockers. He enjoyed being handled and was presented in tiptop condition.

Tortie Smoke. A very attractive female with a good tortie smoke pattern. Lovely large, well furnished ears, set about an ear’s width apart. Clear triangular shape to the head, with a long straight line to the nasal profile and slightly rounded forehead. Eyes were green/gold in colour, large and oval, set in a really good oblique setting. Level bite, firm deep chin. She had a tendency to puff out her whisker pads, though the bone structure underneath actually tapered well. Very well muscled body, long and of very good weight. Substantial boning to legs, large round paws. Long tail, easily reaching the shoulders and nicely furnished. Full ruff around the neck, coat of good overall length down the back and sides of the body, lots of woolly undercoat present, guardhairs developing, especially down the spineline.

Large eyes, not quite round in shape, quite a deep shade of blue. Medium length nose, showing a slight dip though there is a bump present towards the tip. Chin quite firm and full. Lovely body shape, long, weighty and muscular. Well boned limbs of medium length, short strong paws. Tail balanced the body, it was well furnished and bushy. Currently in medium length coat, ruff present. The coat felt silky. Milk chocolate colour to the ears and mask, though the mask was a little brindled. The limbs and tail were slightly paler than the other points. Well marked gloves to the front feet. Socks were quite even and covered the back feet. Well marked gauntlets, full and tapering to end about three-quarters of the way up to the hocks. Unfortunately he had an unjoined white spot just below the hock on the left leg and consequently I had no option but to withhold the certificate. A great shame as otherwise he is a nice cat all round. He was lovely to handle and well groomed.

Wide set ears of good medium size and in balance with the rest of the head. Very expressive eyes, large and almost round, mid to deep blue in colour. She does have a nose bump present, though the nose is of good medium length and has a slight dip. Weighty body, long and substantial, broad chest, thick set limbs of medium length leading to short strong paws. Very well furnished bushy tail, could be just a fraction longer for true balance with the body. Gorgeous coat, really long and very silky. Pale magnolia body colour, showing very good contrast with the pinkish grey points. All points, including the tail, were similar in depth. Well marked gloves, ending just below the angle of paw and leg. Full white socks, well marked and covering the back feet. She had full gauntlets which tapered well to end just below the hocks. Wonderful to handle and groomed to perfection.

Long tail, balancing the body well, nicely furnished with a bushy texture and tapering slightly towards the end. Some ruff evident around the neck. Medium length coat to the body, dense and silky. The beige body colour had some darker shading over the back and sides, paler underneath. Well developed seal brown to mask and ears, colour still developing depth up the legs and the tail. Lovely to handle. A very promising young man indeed.
2ND PINDER’S ROSYPOSY GINGERSNAP, 66d, MN, 02.05.08
Red Colourpointed. I was really impressed with this cat’s size and physique. He has a really long body, very weighty and with a very substantial feel to him. Very good broad chest. Really heavy boning to legs of medium length, large round paws. Wide placed ears of medium size, sitting with a slightly forward tilt. Nice overall breadth to the head, though cheeks yet to really fill out and his head will be much more balanced once the cheeks develop fullness and he attains his full mature breadth. Beautiful eyes, deep blue in colour, large and set well. Medium length nose, showing the correct gentle dip in profile. Quite a firm chin. Well developed pale red points, quite even in depth all round. Cream body colour with some darker red shading over the back and sides of the body.

3RD PEAKE & SAVILLE’S DIZZIPAWS KRUG. 66, MN, 25.09.07
Seal Colourpointed. This boy looked very nice in the pen. Unfortunately he was rather unhappy, did not really wish to be handled and this made him difficult to assess fully. Strong masculine head of very good breadth with a flat plane between the medium sized ears. Very well filled cheeks and a very well defined rounded muzzle. Gentle dip to the nasal profile, nose of medium length. Quite a deep shade of blue to large eyes which were slightly obliquely set. Good firm deep chin. Long body, very well boned legs, medium in length. Large paws. I was unable to check tail length or his underside as by this stage he really wanted to return to his pen. Medium length coat, quite a lot of darker shading present, though still showing contrast with the seal brown points. Full ruff around the face. Shame he didn’t want to really be handled as he was a very nice example of a Ragdoll.

PC, MORIARTY’S RAGSCENTRICITY BEL ESPRIT, 66, FN, 24.05.08
Seal Colourpointed. A really large and very well balanced female, showing excellent head type and body structure. At the time, she reminded me a lot of my male PC winner, and I now see that she is his litter sister. Excellent flat plane between the medium sized ears, which were set wide and with a slightly forward tilt. Medium shade of blue to large expressive eyes, which were set well and in a slight oblique. Gentle dip to the nose. Well defined rounded muzzle, filled cheeks. Firm chin of nice depth. Long body, very well muscled, especially for a young female, excellent large boning to medium length legs and large round tufted paws. Bushy tail reached the shoulders and was quite well furnished. Medium length coat to the body, dense texture with silkiness present. Quite a full ruff around the neck. Beige coat with some darker shading over the back and sides. Dark seal brown mask and ears, colour depth developing up the legs and tail. Very nice to handle and groomed well. Little to choose between her and my male PC winner for BOB, he just had the edge on coat development today.

BOB, PORTER’S PR NOYNAROCK LOK-SVALSON, 67 20, MN, 09.12.06
Brown Tabby. I really liked this boy’s expression and balance today. Clear triangular shape to a head of excellent overall length and good breadth to top of head. Large, high set ears, following the headlines. Pale green eyes, nice oval shape and set in a really good oblique setting. Ruler straight profile to the nose. Firm chin, level bite. Long and very solid body, well muscled. Wonderful boning to legs, back limbs slightly longer than the front limbs. Large round feet. Tail balanced the long body very well, reaching the shoulders and very well furnished with a bushy texture. Lovely coat qualities, full ruff and knickerbockers, body had lots of woolly undercoat, covered with a substantial glossy slightly harsher topcoat. Fabulous to handle, he is so laid back that he went to sleep on the table. Groomed to perfection.
PC, COWARD’S NORDLYS LIAM TOINENTOR, 67 18, MN, 29.02.08
Silver Tabby. A large, balanced muscular male of very good weight and size. Large ears, set in line with the outside edges of the triangular head. Nice oval shape to green eyes, which were set obliquely. Nose shows a tiny change in direction rather than being truly ruler straight. Chin quite firm and of nice depth. Long body, really muscular and weighty. Very substantial boning to legs and paws. Bushy tail, in balance with the body, reaching the shoulders. Super coat qualities, full ruff, body has lots of woolly undercoat covered with slightly harsher waterproof guardhairs. He was in an end pen, and was a little unsure today, though he was not a problem to handle. Very well groomed for the show.
2ND HIGHAM’S NOYNAROCK NELSON, 67 18, MN, 21.06.07
Silver Tabby. About eight months older than my winner, and currently going through that rangy stage of development. Large ears, set high on a triangular head of good overall length. Today I felt that my winner had a slightly stronger masculine head, despite being younger. Green eyes, set in a very good oblique set, and of very nice oval shape. Excellent long straight line to the nose. Chin quite firm, bite level. Long body, a little rangy at the moment, most probably due to his age. Nicely boned limbs, round paws. Really long tail, easily reaching the shoulders and very well furnished. Well developed waterproof coat with a lovely ruff and full knickerbockers. He has lots of woolly undercoat and slightly coarser guardhairs. Unlucky to meet my winner in this class. A gentleman to handle.
3RD WAREING’S NORGESKAUKATT TORSTEIN, 67 20, MN, 31.05.08
Brown Tabby. A nicely balanced young man, who unfortunately wasn’t too impressed with his neighbours today. Consequently, he insisted on flaring his ears and puffing out his whisker pads, which did detract from the overall expression. Ears were quite large and nicely furnished. Obliquely set green eyes, oval in shape. Good long straight line to the nose, slightly rounded forehead. Overall the head is a good equilateral triangle, though I would not like to see it any shorter at this age. Firm deep chin, the best of the three boys competing for the PC. Long, well muscled body, substantial boning to legs and big round paws. I loved his tufted feet. Bushy tail, reaching the shoulders. Very pleasing coat qualities, he has a good slightly harsher topcoat covering the woolly undercoat. I do hope that he gains confidence and becomes more at ease with his neighbours as he is a very nice lad, who should do well if he settles down. Very well groomed for the show.

NORWEGIAN FOREST NEUTER FEMALE
PC, LEESE’S PR SHANLIVLE DELTA, 67 22, FN, 13.04.07
Tortie & White. A weighty female of very good size and muscularity. Balanced triangular head of good overall length, slightly rounded forehead and a straight nasal profile. Large ears, set high and in line with the triangular head shape. Very pleasing eye shape and set, the green eyes look down the nose at you. Chin could be a little firmer. Lovely body size, length and weight. Well boned legs, large round paws. She stands visibly higher on the back legs than the front ones. Nicely furnished bushy tail, reaching the shoulders. Coat of nice length for the time of year, with some woolly undercoat and slightly harsher guardhairs present. A calico pattern, though she is actually a tortie smoke & white rather than a straight tortie & white. Well groomed with pristine white areas.
2ND DAVIES’ ROWGARNOR PATCHES, 67 22a, FN, 01.05.08
Blue Tortie & White. Only just a year old and this is a very well grown girl with a really long body. Lovely large ears, set high on the head, outside edges of the ears follow the lines of the head. Nicely shaped green eyes, set obliquely. Profile was just about straight. Chin could be a little firmer although the bite was level. Long limbs exhibiting quite large boning, round paws. Well furnished bushy tail, balancing the long body very well. Shorter coat at the moment, some ruff present. Though she didn’t have a lot of undercoat (a combination of her age and the time of year), she did have a good slightly harsher topcoat. Dominantly white with patches of colour, I felt that because both the cream and the blue had a silver base colour, she is actually a blue silver tortie tabby & white rather than a blue tortie and white. She was nice to handle.
3RD JONES’ JHARDUFAE LIAMS FLOWER, 67 31ts, FN, 11.04.08
Silver Tabby & White. Similar age to my second placed girl. This female had a clear triangular shaped head of very good overall length, with large eras, sitting high and set well. Very pleasing eye shape and set to the green eyes. Good straight profile to the nose, slightly rounded forehead. Chin was fairly firm, level bite. Quite a long body, in balance with the head, though overall she is smaller than the previous cats and her boning wasn’t quite as substantial. Balanced bushy tail, reaching the shoulders. Full coat, well developed ruff and knickerbockers. Unfortunately, by the time we reached her, the coat was a little open, though I put this down to the time of day and the fact that she may have become a little warm over the day. She had lots of woolly undercoat covered with slightly coarser guardhairs. She was easy to handle.

Mrs E Culf

My sincere thanks to Dorothy Tomlinson, Ann Spotswood, Maureen O’Dowd and all the committee for my invitation to judge once more at this very busy and popular show, filled to capacity once again!  I was extremely fortunate to enlist the help of Val Kaye as my steward, she is great company and shows great interest in all the breeds and handles them carefully and compassionately, many thanks Val, much appreciated and I look forward to another engagement together! 

CLASS 121       IMPERIAL, SLH GRAND CHAMPION MALE
IMP GCC, HAWORTH’S IGR CH DIZZIPAWS BRUCE, 66, SEAL COLOURPOINTED RAGDOLL, 02.08.06
An exceedingly handsome lad, clearly enjoying being the centre of attention, as he kneaded and massaged our shoulders with his front legs!  Excellent head shape, good breadth between well placed medium sized ears that tilt forwards gently, well developed cheeks and rounded muzzle, good chin and level bite.  Medium length nose with gentle dip to the profile.  Large, well opened deep blue eyes are set apart and obliquely, deep blue in colour and so expressive.  Very strong and well toned boy, with a long and muscular boy, breadth to the chest and substantial limbs, large round tufted paws.  His tail is long and fairly bushy to balance.  As always, his pale beige coat is well presented, silky soft texture and with knickerbockers, albeit the coat could be slightly longer than it is, some surface shading now evident but still shows contrast with his deep velvety seal points.  A pleasure to judge him again and award the top prize today.
RES IMP GRCC, WHITBY’S GR CH SUCETTE PRINCE VALIANT, 13c4, LILAC POINT BIRMAN, 13.07.07
An impeccably groomed young man, wearing the softest and palest silky magnolia coat, that contrasts so well with his pinkish grey points colouring, whilst his full ruff frames the head magnificently.  Very good Birman type, his skull is broad and round, he has full round cheeks tapering gently to a firm chin, level bite.  His ears are spaced well apart, just medium in size.  Medium length nose with slight dip to the profile.  Almost round, deep blue eyes, his expression is so gentle.  Sparkling white feet markings, gloves are even, gauntlets are fairly full and medium in length.  Whilst he is well proportioned, ideally he could be a little more substantial for an entire mail, and his tail could be a fraction longer for perfect balance with the body length.  A very gentle boy, delightful to handle. 

CLASS 139a     AOC MAINE COON ADULT MALE
CC & BOB, EDWARDS’ DARKTOWER INDIGO, 64 16, BLUE, 25.06.08
Wow!  What a striking looking lad, already looking so well balanced and composed, particularly as he is still so young, just over ten months old, a mere yearling in racing parlance but not at all green!  Excellent strength and proportions to his head, being medium long and slightly less wide, his cheek bones are high and cheeks are filling out well.  Lovely ears for size and set, large and tall, approximately an ear’s width apart, lovely furnishings and tufts.  Uniform width to nose with shallow concave curve to the profile, excellent pencil straight line from nose leather to deep firm chin.  Good, broad and deep square muzzle.  Full, round eyes are set apart and obliquely, slightly two tone colour at the moment.  Wonderful body size and structure, solid and muscular with breadth to the chest, proportionate and substantial limbs with large round tufted paws, excellent flowing long tail to balance well.  His glossy blue top coat is sound in colour, and increases in length down the back and flanks, frontal ruff developing.  Expertly presented.  So pleased to see him again and see how well he is fulfilling his early promise.  My congratulations on his Best SLH win later in the day! 
2ND, MILLIGAN’S LONO TILLI *PL, 64 41d, RED CLASSIC TABBY, 03.01.08
Another handsome youngster, of excellent size and balance.  Very good head proportions, breadth is slightly less than the length, high cheek bones and fairly full cheeks.  Uniform width to nose that could ideally be a touch longer, showing very slight bump when viewed in profile.  Pencil straight line from pink nose leather to deep chin, well proportioned square muzzle.  Large, tall ears with good width at the base and well tufted.  Full, round amber eyes are set slightly obliquely, super alert expression.  Vey good body size and structure, muscular feel to the limbs and large round tufted paws, long flowing tail to balance that is easily the length of the back.  His red tabby coat shows excellent pattern definition, with rich red markings on a bright apricot agouti ground colour, the glossy top coat just lies a little flat as he needs more undercoat to show the shaggy appearance the breed is renowned for.  Very alert and friendly boy, showing himself off to perfection. 
3RD, GARNER’S PALMAINE GIGOLO, 64 41d, RED CLASSIC TABBY, 20.05.08
Quite a shy young lad, who required a little coaxing to come out of his pen this morning.  Pleasing head proportions, being medium in length and slightly less wide, high cheek bones and fairly full cheeks.  Uniform width to nose with shallow concave curve to the profile, square muzzle and firm chin.  His ears have long tufts at the tips, but the ears themselves look a little small for perfect balance, but it did not help that he insisted on holding them flat and to the sides.  Additionally, he was not prepared to fully open his eyes, which did detract from his appearance somewhat.  Very well grown lad, solid and muscular frame with proportionate limbs and huge tufted paws, lovely tail length to balance.  He too was wearing a well patterned rich red tabby coat, a little short in length and needing more undercoat and ruff to enhance the appearance.   Once out of his pen, he became altogether more relaxed and handled well.

CLASS 139b     AOC MAINE COON ADULT FEMALE
CC, KILMARTIN’S LIONMAINE LIMITED EDITION, 64 41ew, TORTIE CLASSIC TABBY & WHITE, 25.06.08
A very attractive female, ten months old and understandably still a little immature in appearance, but with many quality attributes and looking very promising for the future.  Her head shape is pleasing, looking balanced with good length and breadth ratio, high cheek bones and cheeks filling out well.  Her nose is uniform in width, slight concave curve to the profile, good straight line from nose leather to firm white chin, muzzle shows square contours and just needs to strengthen a little more as she matures.  Her ears are large with good width at the base, tapering to appear pointed and well tufted.  Full, round eyes are large and expressive, set widely and obliquely, slightly two tone golden colour.  Well grown and well proportioned girl, excellent body length and weight, substantial limbs and rounded tufted paws, good tail length to balance.  Her glossy top coat covers the undercoat, and is an absolute kaleidoscope of colours, with numerous shades of red overlaying the black markings, all on a warm copper agouti ground colour, ruff developing.  She has clean white paws, a white chin, bib, chest and belly.  Friendly girl, delightful to judge and presented well.  

CLASS 141       AC BI-COLOUR RAGDOLL ADULT
Three very attractive blue bi colour girls to admire in this class, on another day may be a different order, any one of them could have been awarded the certificate, little to choose between them!
CC & BOB, GRIFFITHS & SCOTT’S RAGTASIA SUMMER BREEZE, 66 31a, BLUE BI-COLOUR FEMALE, 12.04.08
An extremely pretty young lass, with such a sweetheart look and expression.  Excellent Ragdoll type, her head is showing good breadth with a flat plane between medium sized ears that tilt forwards slightly, well developed cheeks and rounded muzzle, chin is reasonably firm, level bite.  Super profile, a gentle dip and a hint of retrousse tip to the medium length nose.  Expressive, deep blue eyes are large and well opened, set slightly obliquely and apart, enhanced by her inverted V marking that starts on the forehead and travels down to the chin, just a fraction more generous on the left side of her face.  Well grown girl, nice solid feel to the body that is a good length, with proportionate medium length legs, round tufted paws and a long bushy tail to balance.  Beautifully presented silky soft coat is sparkling, palest bluish white in colour with two white patches, one across the shoulders and one on her back, limbs are all white.  When I read my catalogue later in the day, I realised that I had admired her previously as a kitten, delighted to award her a CC today and see her progress, she really is gorgeous. 
2ND, NEWMAN’S AMIGAMIA GYPSY ROSE, 66 31a, BLUE BI-COLOUR FEMALE, 06.09.07
Another most attractive young miss, who I have also had the pleasure of judging before.  She has a very nice head shape, being broad with a flat plane, good amount of space between medium sized ears that tilt forwards.  Her cheeks are well developed, muzzle is rounded though looking very slightly pinched today, firm chin and level bite.  Medium length nose with gentle dip to the profile.  Expressive deep blue eyes, large and well opened though she did occasionally have a tendency to stare until she relaxed.  Well grown and well proportioned girl, pleasing body length and weight with fairly substantial medium long limbs, large tufted paws and a bushy tail that balances well.  Sparkling white markings, her inverted V marking on the forehead is well balanced, she has a white chin, chest, belly and legs with white across the shoulders and one small patch on the back.  Gentle girl. 
3RD, HASSETT’S HAPPYTYME MISS BEHAVING, 66 31a, BLUE BI-COLOUR FEMALE, 03.03.08
I was so spoilt for choice in this class, as I really liked this young girl too!  She has a very good Ragdoll look, with a broad head, flat plane between her medium sized ears, albeit a fraction more width between the ears would improve her balanced look.  Well developed cheeks and rounded muzzle, level bite and firm chin.  Lovely profile, her nose is medium long with a gentle dip and a hint of a retrousse tip.  Large, well opened deep blue eyes are spaced well apart and obliquely.  Well proportioned girl, sturdy feel to her body with medium length legs, quite thickset and with large round tufted paws and a long bushy tail to balance.  Attractive blue bi colour markings, white symmetrical V marking on the forehead, white chin, bib, chest and underbody, her legs are white except for one small blue coloured spot on her back left leg.  Well presented bluish white coat, with two small white patches, one on the right shoulder and one on the right flank.  The coat is fairly dense but just looking a little short at the moment, particularly around her head and shoulders.  Very friendly girl, relaxed and a pleasure to judge. 

CLASS 157       AOC MAINE COON KITTEN
1ST & BOB, JONES’ JEMAHAN TINKERBELLS MAGIC, 64 41e, TORTIE CLASSIC TABBY FEMALE, 23.11.08
I did like this young lady, who looked well proportioned and was extremely friendly, delightful to handle.  She has good length to the head, and is still looking a touch narrow across the cheeks and muzzle, but given more time I hope this will improve.  Very well placed large ears, set high and apart, well tufted.  Uniform width to nose with shallow concave curve to the profile, straight line from nose leather to deep chin, square contours to the muzzle that needs more time to strengthen.  Expressive amber eyes are full and round, set slightly obliquely.  Well grown and well proportioned female, good body length and weight and her limbs are fairly substantial already, long tail easily the length of her back to balance well.  Beautifully presented soft and silky kitten coat, well patterned and showing good intermingling of black markings overlaid with numerous shades of red on the coppery background colour.  A friendly girl, chattering away and enjoying herself.

2ND, JOINER’S KASSARO DUSTYSHADOWS, 64 36, BLACK SMOKE FEMALE, 13.08.08
Another quite attractive female, wearing a soft black smoke kitten coat.  Good head shape, being medium long and slightly less wide, high cheek bones and cheeks filling out.  Uniform width to nose with shallow concave curve to the profile, good chin and square contours to muzzle.  Nicely positioned ears, albeit a touch close together as she is still growing.  Good body length, though for her age I would prefer her to be heavier in weight and more substantial, her limbs in particular do still look a little fine boned, lovely long tail.  Her black smoke coat is growing well, the silver white undercoat is more obvious around her head and neck, well presented.  Alert and friendly girl. 
3RD, LAWSON’S DARKTOWER GEORGIA, 64 41e, TORTIE CLASSIC TABBY FEMALE, 19.10.08
One of the youngest females in the class today, and going through the stage in her development where everything needs to come together.  Her head is medium in length and slightly less wide, though for me a touch more length would enhance her appearance enormously.  At the moment, her large ears are the first thing you notice, as she needs more time to grow into them, but they are well placed and tufted.  High cheek bones and cheeks still filling out.  Her nose is uniform in width, could be slightly longer for perfection, her muzzle shows squareness but again needs more time to develop, bite is level.  Lovely expressive full and round amber coloured eyes are set slightly obliquely and apart.  Very pleasing body length and weight, extremely well grown and well proportioned, with fairly substantial limbs already, rounded delicately tufted paws and a long tail to balance.  Still wearing a very soft almost fluffy kitten coat that shows nice intermingling of tortie tabby colours.  A friendly girl. 

CLASS 181       AOC MAINE COON NEUTER
BOB, WOODCOCK’S GR PR DARKTOWER SAXON KING, 64 31, BLACK & WHITE MALE, 27.10.00
Such a handsome boy, with a regal stance and pose, very well balanced looking lad, wearing a superb glossy black coat, with super white markings to enhance his appearance, I particularly love his eyebrows and white whiskers!  Lovely example of the breed.    
PC, FEARNLEY’S COONARIA FIRESTORM, 64 41d, RED CLASSIC TABBY MALE, 25.01.08
Very handsome lad, who I have had the pleasure of judging before.  Excellent head proportions and length to breadth ratio, high cheek bones and full cheeks.  Nose is a uniform width with pleasing shallow concave curve to the profile, straight line from nose leather to firm chin, square muzzle is strong and well proportioned. Large ears are well tufted and set apart.  Fabulous expression from full round amber eyes, set apart and obliquely.  Excellent body strength, long body with breadth to the chest, substantial limbs, large round paws and a flowing rich red tail to balance well.  Excellent condition to his vibrant rich red tabby coat, the top coat is glossy and well presented, lovely strong and defined red classic tabby patterning.  Very relaxed and easy to handle, enjoying his day out. 
2ND, BUNCE’S PR KEVERSTONE SPJ RED LION, 64 19, RED TABBY MALE, 28.12.06
I did like the look of this boy, but for some reason today, he really was not in the mood to cooperate with being judged, so for safety – his and ours – his assessment was speedier than I would have liked.  Excellent head shape and contours, being medium long and slightly less wide, nice full cheeks and lovely profile.  Full, round green eyes are set slightly obliquely and apart, a fiery expression for us today!  Excellent ear size and set, good width at the base and tapering to appear pointed, well tufted.  He has a square muzzle and firm deep chin that could be a fraction broader for perfection.  Excellent body size and weight, well structured and well balanced boy.  Well patterned glossy red tabby coat, lengthening down the back and presented well.  Unfortunately, he was becoming more anxious the longer he was away from the security of his pen, so we returned him prematurely.  Rather a pity. 

CLASS 183a     AC BI-COLOUR RAGDOLL NEUTER MALE
BOB, ASHWORTH’S IGR PR RAGALYN BLUELAGOON, 66 31a, BLUE BI-COLOUR, 27.04.04
I’ve had the pleasure of judging this fabulous boy many times in the past, and always admire his incredibly stylish looks.  He just exudes quality, looks so distinguished and striking.  Wonderful head and expressive deep blue eyes.  Very strong muscular body, limbs and bushy tail in proportion.  Silky soft well presented coat, balanced bi-colour markings and to top it all his temperament is just sublime!  He is so friendly, shows himself off to perfection, he knows he looks fantastic and laps up the adoration!   
PC, HENDERSON’S AHTARRA LUCIEN, 66 31, SEAL BI-COLOUR, 20.02.08
A handsome and very striking seal bi-colour boy, with a lovely head shape.  The head is road with a flat plane between medium sized ears that tilt forward slightly, cheeks are well developed and the muzzle is gently rounded, good chin and level bite.  Medium length nose with dip to the profile, just a hint of a bump on the nose.  Expressive deep blue eyes, large and well opened and set slightly obliquely and apart.  His inverted white V marking that starts on the forehead enhances his facial expression.  Good body size, long and sturdy, albeit he is perhaps a little portly around the tummy, clearly enjoying his sustenance!  Medium length proportionate limbs, large round paws and a long bushy tail to balance.  His fairly dense beige coat is a little shady along the back and could be a fraction longer, ruff developing.  Sparkling white limbs, white across the shoulders.  A friendly boy, handled well.

Mr B Fox

My thanks to Dorothy for the invitation, and to the exhibitors who gave me a real treat with so many very high class Burmese - it's great to see the proliferation of 'typical-looking' cats.

Class 391, Burmese Brown Adult (2)

1st; CC; BOB: Collin's Gr. Ch. Artro Brown Anwen (4.8.'03). Female. Fabulous in every way. Correct medium size; a little plump but muscular, and very elegant. Evenly tapering, balanced tail. Short, finely textured, coat has a sprinkling of white hairs across the shoulders. Stunningly beautiful head type; broad, and gently rounded on the brow and between perfectly shaped and proportioned ears, which are exquisitely set to follow the line of a short, strongly formed, wedge. Sensational eyes that have the essential upper line slant, combined with full lower line, to create the unique Burmese expression. In profile, a distinct, but unexaggerated, nose break, not quite straight nose of ideal length, and a straight line from the leather to a strong chin. Quite charming.

Class 399, Burmese Brown Kitten (3)

1st; BOB: Boardmans' Amabile Brown Desdemona (28.10.'08). Female. Elegantly proportioned and firmly fleshed, with a balanced, evenly tapering, tail. Coat of medium length and texture, has faint shadows on the stifles. Beautifully proportioned head is broad, with slight rounding of the top and brow, correctly set ears, and a short wedge. Large yellow eyes have just enough slant to the upper line, and a full, founded, lower. In profile, a distinct nose break, virtually straight nose, and a straight line from the nose to a strong chin. Fractionally undershot bite, the lower incisors just scissoring the uppers.

2nd: Collin's Aureus Sweet Juliet (30.9.'08). Female. Elegant and firmly muscled, with a balanced, evenly tapering, tail. Medium length, finely textured coat, with faint shadows on the stifles, some ticking, and a few white hairs on the back of the neck. Broad head, gently rounded on the top and brow, with well-set ears, and a short wedge. Large, pale yellow, eyes, set obliquely, with a full lower line. A distinct nose break, virtually straight nose, and a nose to chin line that could be fractionally squarer, though good depth to the chin.

3rd: Hall's Sanlis Vashta Nerada (15.11.'08). Female. Elegant conformation, though not quite the relative weight and muscle of the other two. A good tail easily balances. Coat of medium length and texture, has faint shadows on the stifles and above the chest. Head doesn't have quite the excellent width to length ratio of the others, but well-set and shaped ears, and correctly set eyes with full lower line. A distinct nose break, virtually straight nose, and a good line from the nose to a firm chin. A very good class of, not-surprisingly, similar kittens.

Class 401, Burmese Chocolate Kitten (1)

1st; BOB: Kirkman's Raweke Chocolate Surprise (4.10.'08). Male. Fairly long body with strong limbs, firm muscle, and a balanced tail of good shape. Shortish coat, lying tightly, of very pale colour with darker points, and faint shadows on the stifles. Head should be broader and shorter, to be typical. Ears of good shape, but eyes need a more decided slant to the upper line. In profile, a flat above the eyes, modest nose break, and nose longer than ideal, though chin level.

Class 402, Burmese Lilac Kitten (1)

1st; BOB: Walmsley's Raweke Hungry Horace (4.10.'08). Male. Good size and well proportioned, with a balanced, evenly tapering tail, and finely textured coat of medium length. Good head width, and rounded to the top and brow, with well-set, proportionate ears. Top line of eye needs more slant to be ideal, but the lower line is full. In profile, a moderate nose break, straight nose that slopes slightly, and a level chin.

Class 411, Burmese Brown Neuter (3)

1st; PC; BOB: Jubb's Maharani Gabrielle (14.8.'07). Female. Petite and slim, with firm muscle and elegant conformation, with an ideally shaped and balanced tail, tapering evenly to a rounded tip. Short to medium length, finely textured coat of fairly dark, but rich, seal. Broad head with rounded top and brow, and a short wedge emphasised by well-set, proportionately sized, ears. Yellow eyes have a distinct slant with fuller lower line. In profile a distinct, and correctly shallow, nose break, slightly rounded nose, and a firm, level, chin.

Class 415, Burmese Red Neuter (1)

1st; PC; BOB: Catterick's Gr. Pr. Nemorez Theredbaron (4.11.'03). Medium size and proportionate, and a well-shaped tail that just balances. Pale coat should be shorter, and is rather woolly in texture and lie. Head should be broader for length, to better describe the desired short wedge. Neat, well set, ears, and pale eyes set obliquely, but could be fuller in the lower line. In profile, a flat forehead, moderate nose break, and straight nose, with a slightly receding nose to chin line.

Class 418, Burmese AOC Tortoiseshell Neuter (2)

BOB: Brownings' Gr. Ch. & Pr. Romid Lucie (11.4.'01) Lilac Tortoiseshell. Petite and well proportioned, and a balanced tail. Long coat.

BURMESE GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE

4 in class

IGC  Tegg’s  IGR CH BLOOMERS BARONESS BELCHAMP  (27j)  17.06.06

Slightly rounded top of head between ears of lovely shape and size which are set well apart and have a slight forward tilt.   The short and wide wedge tapers to a blunt muzzle, with gentle rounding to brow.   Distinct break to straight nose which ends in a firm and level chin of good depth.   Her yellow eyes are large and lustrous, are set well apart and have correct slant to top line and rounded lower line.   The muscular body has good weight and is of medium length and size, with rounded chest and straight back.   Slender legs and neat oval-shaped paws are in proportion.  The tail is straight and well shaped, ending in a rounded tip.   Her glossy coat is short and fine with a lovely feel, lying close to her body a pale lilac tone, with mingled shades of cream.   She is in excellent condition, a very attractive girl with a good nature – a pleasure to handle and a worthy winner.
 
Res IGC  Collin’s  GR CH ARTRO BROWN ANWEN  (27)  F  04.08.03

The top of head is slightly rounded and her ears, which are a touch small are of good shape and set well apart.    Her short wedge is wide at the cheekbones, tapering to a blunt muzzle and she has a slight rounding to her brow.   Good depth between the skull and lower jaw, with a good break to her nose, which has a slight curve, but ends in a firm, level chin.   Her pale yellow eyes are very well shaped and of good size – with a gentle expression.   A large, well-proportioned and weighty girl, feeling hard and muscular, with well-shaped legs and oval paws to balance.   Her tail is of good length and shape.   Short, fine and glossy dark seal coat, is satin-like in texture and lies close to body.   A sprinkling of white hairs on her neck detract from the overall picture.   She has a beautiful nature and I loved her, but she was unfortunate to miss out today.

ASIAN SELF/TORTIE (Inc BOMBAY) KITTEN

1st & BOB  Bradley’s  NEMOREZ KNIGHT STROLER  (72b)  M  15.12.08

What a wonderful nature this boy has!
The top of his head shows slight rounding between the ears which are of medium size, are set well apart and of very pleasing shape, showing forward tilt.   He has a short wedge of good width, which tapers to a blunt muzzle, with nice rounding to his brow, an excellent break to a straight nose, which ends in a firm and level chin of good depth.   His expressive eyes are pale yellow (still to develop?) and very well shaped, set well apart, but a touch small at present.   He has good body weight for his age, with a strong and rounded chest, slender legs and neat oval-shaped paws.   His tail is long and well shaped and in proportion to his body.
His coat is short and close-lying, rather lacking in gloss as it is still his kitten coat, but it is a rich, warm chestnut brown which is sound to the roots with no paling in colour.
I noticed this boy was a bit upset earlier, but he soon relaxed and loved being judged.
He loved cuddles and I wanted to take him home – unfortunately his owner didn’t agree!  

EGYPTIAN MAU KITTEN

This girl has a lovely, playful nature – I loved her.

Although her head has slight rounding to the wedge, her rather large ears are set too high, but are well-cupped and follow the line of the head.   Her profile shows a gentle contour, but a poor rise to her nose which is not quite parallel, and her muzzle is rather narrow with a slightly receding chin.   Her almond-shaped eyes are expressive, of good size and well shaped, a gooseberry green in colour.   The body is medium in size for her age, with a hard and muscular feel, long and elegant legs in proportion with small and dainty feet and a long, well-shaped tail to balance.   The head markings show the typical ‘M’ and scarab pattern, but her mascara lines are faint with no spots on her chest, and one broken necklace.
Her coat is short and close lying with lovely silver undercoat and a well-spotted body, and also underside.   The spinal line shows elongated spots which merge forming a dorsal stripe along the tail to its tip.   The legs show pretty spots and bars.

LILAC BURMESE ADULT

BOB  Boardman’s  CH ARTRO LILAC MOONSTONE  (27c)  F  21.08.04

Slight rounding to top of head and a short, wide wedge, which has good width at the cheek bones, tapers to a blunt muzzle.   Medium sized ears are broad at the base, have nicely rounded top and show forward tilt, set well apart.   Gentle rounding to brow with distinct break to straight nose, with a firm and level chin.   Her yellow eyes are very well shaped and of good size, set well apart.   Her body is medium in size, hard and muscular, with rounded chest and straight back, the slender legs and neat oval paws in proportion.   Her tail is thick and long, tapering to a rounded tip.   The coat is short, fine and glossy, lying close – a slightly darkish dove grey but has a pink tinge.
She has slight attitude, typical of a Burmese!             

1st CC  McCormick’s  AUREUS PRETTYPENNY  (27c)  F  26.03.08

Slightly rounded top of head, with very well set ears of good shape and size.   She has a fairly short wedge, which is wide with a blunt finish, a reasonable break to her straight nose, which rolls off slightly, and a firm chin, which is a touch shallow.   She has a lovely expression to her yellow eyes, which are large and lustrous with correct slant to top and rounded lower line.   Very good weight to her medium sized body, which is hard and muscular.   Her legs are in proportion with neat, oval paws.   Straight tail is well shaped and of good length.   Her coat is a beautiful pale dove-grey with pink cast, short and close-lying with a lovely glossy finish.   An attractive young lady.     

2nd  Bartlett’s  RAWEKE MINIMA  (27c)  F  20.08.07

Slight rounding to top of head between ears, which are set well apart, are of good shape and size.   Although her wedge is short, with good width to the blunt muzzle, her chin slightly recedes.   She has a distinct break to her straight nose, which tends to roll off slightly.   Her pale yellow eyes are of fair shape and size, are set well.   Her body is of medium size, with rounded chest and straight back, feels hard and muscular.   Her slender legs and oval paws are in proportion and her tail is of good length and shape, but has a dubious end defect.   She has a lovely coat texture, slightly long but lies close, with glossy appearance – a beautiful pale dove-grey with a pinkish cast.   A sweet-natured girl, who was a little unhappy today.

Class 403 RED BURMESE KITTEN
1st & BoB Miss Shackleton’s ISAJEN DI NOZZO (27d) M 5/8/2008
A confident well grown young man with a very equitable temperament. Rich amber eyes,
medium large in size could be larger for perfection, the upper lid could do with more definition
and the lower lid could be slightly fuller again for perfection, set well apart in a head that is still
developing and which will hopefully be broader in maturity. Head on he has a short medium
width wedge, his muzzle was showing a slight pinch today and his bite whilst level displayed
concave incisors, he had gentle rounding to the top of his head, his ears were set well apart on
his head; they were of good size, wide in the base, with rounded tips and wee tufts, but showing
the desired profile tilt when relaxed. In profile his head was quite deep, with a gently rounded
brow, a reasonable nose break, a straight nose that fell away to the nose leather, his jaw was of
acceptable depth but I would prefer more depth for perfection and it was set back slightly. His
body is developing nicely and has good weight and size for his age, having a strong chest and
straight back. His legs are in proportion to his body, correctly taller hind legs with oval paws. His
tail did not quite balance being a little short of the shoulder, it tapered well to a paint brush tip
and was of reasonable thickness. He had a very clear coat though the hall light rather muted his
colour making it more warm red than tangerine to my eye but the hall light was really rather
unkind to all the colours today, his coat as medium length and had an acceptable feel to it. His
condition and temperament were excellent – quite a charming young man.

This boy just screamed Russian to me. An elegant boy who is developing nicely with an excellent
frame, ears held high and wide at the base, although he tended to round his eyes occasionally
when relaxed they showed the desired almond shape; the colour is still developing currently a
muddy green-yellow. His whisker pads were clearly prominent and added to that distinctive
expression with the angle to his head still in developing but his nose had the desired concave
curve. His chin was strong and correct set. His body was long and solidly muscular yet graceful
and his coat had good density to it. Shown in excellent condition he handled beautifully.
2nd Mrs Higgins and Miss Kennedy’s MESHKHENET MIYOKO (78 36) F
A really rather attractive smoke with excellent definition to her underlying spotted pattern on
pristine silver. Well defined outlining to her nose, lips and eyes and correct paw and nose leather
colour. Charming head type, slightly rounded wedge, large almond shaped eye which are still
developing in colour; currently a muddy green-yellow in colour giving a rather worried look
when view head on; her nose had the correct parallel lines and had a gentle contour in profile,
she also had a super firm chin and level bite. Elegant body and limbs and moderate tail which
tapered well. Her coat was close lying and short, silky and fine in texture. I felt she was very
promising and very unlucky to meet the winner today.

with good length, prominent cheekbones and rounded muzzle, moderate stop and a strong chin
with a level bite. Large wide based ears, set well on a flat top of head. Large eyes of excellent
shape. An elegant body which was nicely muscled feeling solid and firm, proportionate limbs
with oval paws. He had a long tapering tail with the greatest amount of heavy down only on the
very end of his tail other wise a five o’clock shadow covering of down all over. A charming and
confident exhibit – just loved his head type!
2nd Mrs & Miss Halligan’s MUMANDALATS KUBLAN KHAN (76 30) M
Super well grown baby boy who had a very attractive pattern and pleasing head type. He had a
wild looking small head with medium ears, perhaps too much of a break rather than a gentle
curve to his profile, broad wedge and level bite, pleasing eyes which were very expressive, a
long body and proportionate legs, thick tail with a rounded tip that tapered nicely. His superb
pattern was a joy to behold; wonderful arrowhead spots that such beautiful contrast to their
colours and super clear facial markings – a gleaming coat. A gentle chap who handled very well

1st Dr Collin’s GRCH ARTRO BROWN ANWEN (27) F
An attractive and mature lady. She has large and lustrous pale golden yellow eyes; they are
correctly set and have an excellent slant to the upper lid and very full rounding to the lower.
Head on she has a short wide wedge, blunt muzzle with a level bite, a very rounded top of her
head and ears that are a little small for her generous sized head, but set well, wide at the base
and with rounded tips. In profile her skull has good depth, again very rounded brow, very good
nose break, straight nose and jaw of good depth, set correctly in a straight plane to the end of
her nose. Her body is large and appropriately weighty – she had a substantial feel I noted, a
strong chest and straight back, proportionate legs with spoon shaped paws and correct stance.
Her tail balanced and tapered to paintbrush tip. Her coat was a rich warm brown in colour with
sprinkling of white hairs across her shoulders but her coat was quite short in length, felling soft
and silky. Shown in excellent condition, a little grizzly but she handled well.
2nd Mr & Mrs Tower’s CH FERNYAULGH MISS BLUEBELL (27a) F
A very pretty exhibit. Large and lustrous eyes of pale chartreuse, set wide apart showing super
expression with correct slant to nose on her upper lids and pleasing rounding to her full lower
lids, they had a charming eye liner effect to rims and her mood only enhanced her expression.
Ears of good proportion to head set well apart with rounded tips and wide at the base. Head has
good depth to skull, gentle rounding, and a short wide wedge . Her profile showed a very good
nose break, straight nose, and her jaw sits back a bit and had reasonable depth but I would
prefer deeper for perfection. Her medium almost compact body is of excellent weight with a
strong chest and straight back. Proportionate sized legs with good muscle tone, has oval paws
and correct stance. Tail just balances, is of medium thickness and tapers to a rounded end. Her
close lying coat is short, soft and silky of a mid blue colour with correct silvering. Shown in
excellent condition, though in foul mood, she handled well enough for us a tad spoilt and used to
getting her own I suspect – how unlike a blue to take itself so seriously?

Well grown kitten who is going through a gangly period of development at present. This
youngster had medium sized, pale golden eyes which were set well; the upper lid having a very
gentle slant and the lower needing great fullness at present. Head on he had a medium length
to his wedge, gentle rounding to his head, his ears were set well apart but his head is still
growing and need more breadth they are wide at the base with round tips. His skull had good
depth in profile, with a gently rounded brow, his break was acceptable but more definition would
be desirable and he had a straight nose, his jaw had reasonable depth but was set back slightly
and more depth again is required for perfection. His body was well grown for his age and had
good weight; his limbs were in proportion with oval paws and showing the desired stance: taller
in his hind legs. His medium thick tail balanced and tapered gently to a rounded end. His coat
colour is presently a rather pale chocolate not the warm milk chocolate called for in the standard
and therefore shows a strong contrast to his darker but still warm chocolate mask, it is to be
hoped that the colour will even out as he matures; otherwise his coat was medium in length but
soft and silky to the touch. He was shown in excellent condition and although at little unsure of
himself he handled very well.

rim; super shape to both upper and lower lids and set well apart on her nicely developing head.
Face on she has a pleasing short wide wedge, level bite and blunt muzzle, her head is nicely
rounded with ears that are of good proportion, wide at the base and rounded tips, set well apart
and displaying the desired forward tilt. Her skull is deep in profile and has good rounding to the
brow, a good nose break and a straight nose, her jaw has good depth and set correctly in a
straight plane to the end of her nose. Her medium size body is developing nicely and have a
lovely feel to it with a rounded chest and straight back, her limbs are in keeping to her size with
delightful spoon shaped paws and correct stance. Her tail balances, is of medium thickness and
tapered well to a paint brush tip. Her warm brown coat was brindled but as she still has her
kitten coat hopefully this will eventually clear out, it is short and feels very soft and silky, and
lies close to her body. Show in excellent condition; all in all a delightful and sweet girl.
2nd Mr & Mrs Boardman’s AMABILE BROWN DESDEMONA (27) MN
Another very pretty kitten sadly let down by a pronounced undershot bite which was confirmed
by the duty vet. Again large and lustrous golden yellow eyes, with good shape and set well apart
on a broad and very round head. Face on she shows a short wide wedge with a blunt muzzle,
very much kitten rounded head, and her ears are set well, being of good size, having wide bases
and rounded tips and showing correct profile tilt. In profile her skull is deep, again showing a
kitten rounded brow (i.e. more than would be desirable in an adult), good break, straight nose,
reasonable depth to her jaw and set correctly in a straight plane to her nose. Her body is
compact but solid with pleasing firmness, strong rounded chest and straight back; her limbs are
in proportion with oval paws and showing a good stance. Her tail balanced and tapered to a
paintbrush end but had a degree of tensile tail to the very end. She had a lovely warm chestnut
brown coat; it had a super soft & silky feel to it, lying very well to her body and of good length.
She was shown in excellent condition and was a little upset and I guess fed up of having her
mouth checked so often.

1st Miss Garlick’s SIGIMUND ONCEINABLUE MOON (27a) MN
Fast asleep when I arrived at his pen, I took a fair amount of time to try to ensure his was fully
awake and settled before assessing him. Medium large chartreuse eyes, displaying a horizontal
line rather than slanting toward his nose and would prefer a fuller lower lid. Head on he has a
short medium width muzzle, good level bite, gentle rounding to the top of his head and his good
sized ears were set well apart on his fairly broad head, and they were wide in the base and had
rounded tips. His skull was of good depth in profile, having a rounded brow, his nose break
could do with more definition but his nose was straight and his jaw had good depth and was set
correctly in a straight plane to his nose. His medium sized body had good weight, a strong chest
and straight back, his limbs were in keeping to his body size having oval paws and he displayed
the correct taller hind leg stance. His tail balanced well and tapered to a paint brush finish. His
soft blue coat was his best asset beautifully silvered such a pleasing shaded of blue and had
superb short coat length – frankly the best all day also having a super satin feel to it. Shown in
excellent condition a little fractious but handled well enough – another blue who thinks too much
of himself!

1st Mrs Jubb’s MAHARANI GABRIELLE (27)
FN A very pleasant exhibit; large and lustrous pale yellow eyes, set wide apart with good shape.
Ears of good size, broad at the base with correct profile tilt, set wide apart on a gently rounded
head which shows a very short wide wedge with a good level bite and blunt muzzle. In profile
having gentle rounding to brow, good nose break, straight nose but a bump just past her nose
break and chin of good depth which was set back a little. Body of medium size, very good
weighty feeling, a strong broad chest and straight back. Neat legs with dainty oval paws which
are in proportion to the body with taller hind legs. Tail is of good shape with plenty of length to
balance, in fact having some spare, with a paint brush tip which felt slightly tensile at the tip
today. Coat has a super silky feel and is pleasing rich warm brown. Shown in excellent
condition; handle very well, a charming gentle girl.
2nd Mrs Hartley’s PR GATTINI DANDINI (27a) MN
A rather large lad! Large and lustrous golden chartreuse eyes a tad hooded set well with good
upper and lower lids with pleasing eye liner effect. His large ears were well in proportion to his
head, broad at the base, rounded tips set well apart on gently rounded top of head. Had a
reasonably short wide wedge but would prefer shorter for perfection with level bite his muzzle
was slightly pinched today, brow appeared slightly long in profile too, with a weakly defined
nose break but having a straight nose with a slightly shallow chin, which sat in the correct
straight plane to nose tip. Long body with a good weighty feel, broad chest and straight back.
Large limbs but in proportion, hind legs being taller and sat on oval paws. His tail was more than
long enough to balance with round tip if slightly tensile today. Short, soft and silky coat of
charcoal blue with good silvering. Shown in very good condition – handled well but a little upset
by his neighbour today!
