AC PERSIAN IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION MALE
Imp Gr Ch Stewart’s Imp Gr Ch Lazane on Cloud Nine 2a M. Last year I said he brought a smile to my face well he still has that effect. Is almost mature now and lives up to his title with ease.
Res Craig & Bell’s Gr Ch Vita-Nova’s Dreamer (Int Ch)70 30s. Good type and a lovely coat and the size an Exotic should be. I like him a lot.
BLACK ADULT MALE
1st CC BOB Piasecki’s Lafrebella Josiah 1 Male. Clearly not yet mature but showing all the signs of retaining his good looks as he gets older. Good head with nice balance, bite a little undershot and good large round eyes. Lovely coat and condition.
BLACK ADULT FEMALE
1st CC W/H Piasecki’s Lafrebella Jozefina 1 Female. Poor Jozefina, obviously has all the qualities of her brother but looked rather sad with very watery eyes and a reluctance show. I looked at her again later in the day and she looked much happier so may not have travelled well?
RED, CREAM or TORTIE TABBY ADULT MALE
1st CC Piasecki’s Ch Purrsrus Simply Red 9 Male. I had some misgivings about his coat colour on the day but since he is otherwise such a lovely cat in gorgeous condition I chose to give him the benefit of the doubt.
RED, CREAM or TORTIE TABBY ADULT FEMALE
1st CC BOB McCluskey’s Jenzjewels Zuri 8e Female. What fabulous eyes, they set the seal on the look but all the other features are complimentary so adding up to a very lovely young female. My one regret is that she is not a little larger although she is quite a good weight.
TORTOISESHELL COLOURPOINT ADULT
1st CC BOB McCluskey’s Jonnycake Snow Princess 13b6 Female. Really nice feminine looks, good type without any extremes, good balanced features and attractive coat and colour pattern. Very well presented and gentle temperament.
2nd Malcombson’s Risetta Dancing Queen 13b6 Female. Equally good looks, in fact I thought they may be sisters. Again the female look without any loss of the Persian features. Good coat and texture, well defined points just a little darker overall. Well shown.
SEAL COLOURPOINT NEUTER
1st PC BOB Furey’s Gr Ch Clarity Talkof Thetown 13b1 FN. What a treat to be able to award a very well deserved PC and BOB to a nine year old Female. I hope she has more shows looking as she did on the day.
EXOTIC SH NON SELF NEUTER
1st PC BOB Hawthorn’s Sheerbliss Voulez Vous 70 12a5ts MN. If he keeps these good looks as he matures he will have more success to come. He is what I consider to be a ‘compact’ cat, every thing is there in one neat parcel. I like the coat colour and pattern, he is a good weight and he is in lovely condition.
NORWEGIAN FOREST NEUTER
1st PC BOB Balfour’s Gr Ch Norshelian Skaugongen 67 31s MN. Good type with a good nose and profile and well set and spaced ears and with eyes that are the correct shape and size. Good length in body and limbs and a full length tail.
2nd Livingstone’s Njalcats Brodie 67 20 MN. Rather small but attractive looks with fine features. Sadly he had become rather ‘spooked’ by a neighbouring cat so was not showing himself at all well.
BROWN SPOTTED BENGAL ADULT
BOB Riley-Jones Gr Ch Bambino Shadowdancer 76 30 Female.
1st CC Banks’ Junglefire Towanreef Storm 76 30 Male. He has lovely strong heavily muscled body which becomes evident immediately you pick him up. I like the type and his overall conformation. Good clear spotting and coat pattern. Excellent temperament and a willing participant.
A real pleasure to judge at my own club’s show and delighted to be able to thank the show managers, Bruce and Gillian Bennett, and the hardworking committee for running a super show for all of us once again.
AC Persian Self Champion Female
1 GR CC Morris’s CH COUNTRYGIRL CHERRYBLOSSOM
A red self girl who was just a year old with lovely persian type and a delightful facial expression. She was of medium build with a firm cobby body shape set low on short legs. Head shape was broad and had tiny well set ears with long ear furnishings. The eyes were full, round and of large size and had excellent deep copper colour which cannot come any deeper. Her nose was very short with a very strong nose break and a full pink nose leather. She had fat chubby cheeks and a strong balanced chin with almost level bite. Her coat was of medium length, not at its fullest with a short frill and fluffy trousers. The colour was of a very deep rich shade of red, free of white hairs and was of a soft texture. The red colour on her face was fairly even and she was solid red over her back but, however, was showing tabby barring down her sides and flanks and had faint tabby rings on her tail which was short and very bushy. I thought long and hard about giving her this award on the day because of this but in the light of the fact that she was not in full coat and the tabby markings would be harder to see when she was better clothed, I decided that she was very worthy of this award, as she is a lovely specimen of the breed. A very sweet natured girl who was well presented.
Reserve Grand Withheld.
2 Armstrong’s CH TRACYLOOE PANDARUSPASSION
A very cobby female who was one year and eighteen months of age. Well built girl with a firm body set low on short thick legs. She had wonderful width of head for a female which had a very pronounced head bump and with neat ears, set very far apart on top which had long ear feathers. Eye shape was very large, well rounded with a bold expression and had excellent deep copper colour. The cheeks were full and chubby and she had a prominent strong chin. The nose was very short with an extremely strong stop and a somewhat small pink nose leather that had tiny nostrils that I would have liked to be larger. Her bite was narrow and was not quite level although she was a great wriggler and made it hard for us to see. The coat was beautiful, very full, long and soft and was of a pale shade of cream with some slight shadiness at the tips on her back but a pale cream at the roots. The tail was short and very bushy and she had a full frill, fluffy trousers and feathered paws. A well presented girl with a gentle nature. I was sorry to withhold the Reserve Grand certificate but the main reason for this was on account of her very pronounced head bump and also concern about the size of her nasal openings neither of which can change with time.

Exotic SH Self Kitten
1 and BOB Campbell’s DEDANNAN CHASING RAINBOWS
70 1 M 19.10.08

The coat was a sound black and was very glossy and dense, of medium length but not very plush as it was lying a little flat at present. A very friendly kitten who handled well.

Body shape was rectangular and developing good length with a square shaped rump and supported on substantial legs with rounded tufted paws. Medium length head with large tall ears that had good ear tufts and paler ear feathers which were wide at the base. His eyes were full and round and were large in size with yellowish eye colour and set slightly oblique in the face. The nose was of uniform width and had a shallow dip at the nasal bridge with a full pink nose leather. The cheeks were a touch narrow and need to fill out further while the muzzle was a little narrow and long and not fully square yet but he has plenty of time on his side for development. The chin was firm and the bite was level. The coat was glossy and long over the body with the head and shoulders a little shorter. The breeches and tummy were full and there were signs of a frontal ruff starting to form. The tail was of a very good length reaching his shoulders easily and was well furnished with long flowing fur that tapered at the tip. He had white on the lower half of the face and on the bib. The tummy had a tiny white patch and all four limbs had pure white socks. Tabby markings were excellent on the head and body being black on a warm brown agouti ground colour with a definite ‘M’ on his forehead, pale spectacles around the eyes with black eye rims, eye lines and narrow pencilling on his cheeks and lines running over the top of his head. There was a very clear butterfly over his shoulders, three dense black lines running down the lower back region and barring on the limbs. A well turned out exhibit who had an easy going gentle nature.
2 Wright’s POWERKATZ HERO
64 41w M 20.12.08
Another brown classic tabby and white boy who was just four months of age and who had a firm body that was developing well and was a good size for his tender age. He had good boning, a fairly long neck and a rectangular shaped body with a square rump shape and supported on strong legs with rounded slightly tufted paws that had solid colour from the sole to the hock. Head shape had good width and was of medium length with a broad muzzle and a firm chin with a level bite.

His tail was long and flowing, well furnished and tapered gently towards the tip. The coat was shaggy and full over the breeches and a frontal ruff was starting to develop. A gentle well mannered cat when handled.

1 and BOB Delaney’s COONTIPS PRINCESS LOLA
64.41 F 10.11.08
A very attractive girl of five months of age who had good maine coon type , a lovely facial expression and excellent tabby markings. Head shape was of medium length with correct facial proportions between the ear line, nasal bridge and tip of chin. She had an excellent square muzzle particularly for a female with a firm chin and good cheek width and high cheek bones. Her bite was level and she had a long straight nose of even width and a shallow curve at the nasal bridge and which had a pink nose leather edged with seal brown. Her ears were large and tall well open at the base and tapering to a point at the tip and were well tufted and had shorter pale ear feathering.

Medium size body was solid and well muscled for a female although not of the same size as the males but with limbs in proportion. Body shape was rectangular and with a squared off rump and an elegant length of neck. The legs were sturdy and had rounded paws which had long tufts emanating from the underside and were the best tufted paws on the day. The tummy fur was shaggy and the frontal ruff was starting to develop. Her coat was long and glossy and had excellent tabby marking of black over a warm copper agouti ground colour showing several clear necklaces, a perfectly symmetrical butterfly over her shoulders, barring on the legs and body lines. There were good head lines, a well spotted muzzle, an ‘M’ on her forehead and pencilling on her cheeks and light spectacles around the eyes. The tail was long and flowing and was well ringed and tapered gently towards the tip which was a dark seal brown. A worthy winner on the day.

4 Davidson’s LIONMAINE BEARFACE BRIAN
64 41SW M 28.10.08
A big silver tabby and white kitten of six months that I have met before with very good body shape who was very well grown and a real heavy weight with a rectangular body shape and a square rump supported on four sturdy legs with large round paws. Pleasing head shape of medium size and correct proportions with a muzzle that was fairly square and still to develop further. He had fairly full cheeks with good high cheek bones developing and a level bite. The nose was of uniform width and had a slight dip at the nasal bridge with a pink nose leather edged with black. The nose was of a greyish blue shade with cream patches on the nose above the nose leather which was somewhat irregular and also the muzzle was a dark creamy beige shade which might have been tarnishing or staining but it was hard to say which and rather spoilt his appearance and was not seen when he was a younger kitten at a show at the start of the year. Tall ears which were well set and pointed had good tufts and feathering and showing a small patch of tarnishing near the right ear. Bright round eyes were full and had yellowish eye colour and were set slightly oblique with clear pale spectacles. The face and body had good tabby markings with black lines overlying a silver agouti ground colour. There was a clear butterfly over the shoulders, three definite spine lines down his back and barring on the legs. The coat was long and full over the body but shorter over the head and neck and with a frontal ruff starting to form. The tail was of a good length and was flowing and tapered towards the tip. A boy with a lovely gentle temperament. On consulting three other senior judges regarding the creamy markings, the opinion of the judges was that the dark cream shade on the face and over the body were very unusual and irregular and should be investigated further.

1 Russell’s DALTEEMA CRRAILISO AMBER
13c7 F 29.5.08
A cream point birman girl of eleven months of age who I have judged before and who has pleasing type and who was well grown for her age with a long body that was firm and well muscled with strong legs of medium height that had short well rounded paws. Good head shape with a broad strong rounded skull. Medium length nose had a slight dip in profile with a full pink nose leather. Her cheeks were rounded and had plenty of width and she had a firm gently tapering chin with a level bite. Her ears were sited far apart on the head and were of medium size and her eyes were almost round in shape and had good deep blue eye colour. The coat was long with a very silky texture and was slightly curly on the tummy. It was soft and very clear being a lovely pale off white colour with a slight golden glow over her back. A ruff was starting to develop around the neck and the tail was in proportion to the body length and was well furnished and bushy. The points were cream and well matching with the mask almost fully covering the face. The ears, legs and tail were well defined and contrasted with the paler coat colour. The foot markings were pure white with gloves that were level, set a touch low on the upper part of the paw and were slightly scalloped. The right glove reached the stop on the underside but was it was hard to see if it extended beyond that point as the fur was so pale and so she was given the benefit of doubt. The limit of white on the left glove was well defined and neat. The socks were level and matching and had symmetrical gauntlets of good length which tapered nicely nearing the hock. A well behaved girl who handled very well, shown in good condition and who was beautifully presented.
2 Leppard’s CH KLASSYKLOGS KATRIONA
13c1 F 5.4.08
A favourite seal point girl of mine who I have met several times before but today she was not in a good humour as she may have been upset by the antics of some males nearby who were misbehaving which did not let her show herself as well as she usually does, as she is a girl with a very sweet gentle nature. She has very good birman type with firm solid body that is now well grown, of good length with strong well muscled legs of medium height. Head shape was broad with a well rounded skull and with medium size ears that were placed far apart and which had dark seal brown colour. The profile was good with a nose that was of medium length and had a slight dip at the nasal bridge and with a full seal brown nose leather. The chin was firm and slightly tapered which balanced the upper part of the face. She had full well rounded cheeks of good width and a level bite. The eyes were large and almost round in shape with deep blue eye colour and lovely birman expression. Her coat was fairly long and was very soft and silky in texture with a ruff present and was of a pale beige shade that was clear with just a slight golden glow over her back and some faint shadiness on her flanks. The points were a rich dark seal brown shade and the mask was well developed and matched the other points fairly well although the legs and tail were slightly paler in colour. The tail was bushy and of medium length which was in proportion to the body length. The foot markings were pristine white with gloves that had the right one slightly scalloped and not in a dead straight line across the paw but of correct length reaching almost to the angle of the paw. The socks were not quite matching with the right one slightly longer on the upper surface and with both socks covering the entire hind paw fully. The gauntlets were very well matched being of equal length but of slightly different widths. One tapered well to a point close to the hock and the other one was marginally slightly wider and a little more blunt in shape. A good example of the breed and a girl who is promising.

A brown tabby and white maine coon boy who is not yet two years old and who is an old favourite of mine now. He is a huge chap who was very destructive in his pen and must have enjoyed bashing it up. He has excellent physique with a very long rectangular body ending with a square rump with a long neck and was very muscular on substantial legs that had large rounded and well tufted paws. Correct head shape of medium length and with large well spaced ears that were open at the base and which were pointed and sitting tall on the skull. They had very good black ear tufts and lighter ear feathering. Eyes were full, round in shape with yellowish eye colour and set slightly oblique and surrounded by paler spectacles. The nose was of uniform width and had a shallow curve ending with a full brick red nose leather. The cheeks were full and he had a fairly square well spotted muzzle with a firm chin. The coat was of a good length on his body with shaggy breeches and tummy with a frontal ruff and was a little shorter over the head and neck and had a shiny glossy texture. The tail was long and flowing and tapered slightly towards the tip and was showing a hint of tabby rings. Classic tabby markings were visible on the body but were a little diffuse but elsewhere was a dark black over a warm shade of copper agouti ground colour. There was an ‘M’ on his forehead, pencilling on the cheeks and lines running over the top of head. The body had a butterfly over the shoulders and oysters on the flanks. The white areas were less than one third and covered the bib, chest and on the underside as a straight white line and were a clean white. All four feet had white socks and all four legs had clear tabby barring above the white areas. A very handsome boy with plenty of presence.

64 41fs F 25.7.08
Only just an adult this cream silver tabby girl was a little small in spite of being a female. Body shape was elongated and rectangular with a square shaped rump supported on sturdy, well muscled legs that had very well tufted round paws. Medium size head with tall pointed and tufted ears. The nose was long and of uniform width with a shallow dip at the nasal bridge and with a pink nose leather. The eyes were large and round in shape with a slightly oblique setting and had greenish eye colour with clear tabby spectacles. The cheeks were filling out and the muzzle could have been broader and more square. The chin was firm and the bite was level. The coat was fairly long and full and was a mid shade of cream with a silvery undercoat. Her tail was well furnished and very long reaching well up to the shoulders. The tabby markings on the body were a bit diffuse and not always easy to see but she had an ’M’ on the forehead, and headlines running over the top of head. There was evidence of spine lines and classic tabby lines running down the sides of the body. A well behaved girl with a very pleasant good nature who was well prepared for the show.
3 McKay’s ADETELO SILVER MYSTIQUE
64 41g F 25.7.08
A classic blue cream tabby maine coon girl who was just barely an adult and who needs time to develop further. She was of a good size for her age and had a medium sized rectangular shaped body with limbs that were in proportion to the body length and was solid with a square shaped rump with strong legs. The head was of medium shape and had good width between the ears which were of large size, tall, lightly tufted and with shorter ear feathers, sitting well on top showing both blue and cream colouring. Full rounded eyes had greenish yellow eye colour and set slightly oblique with lighter spectacles. The muzzle was spotted but lacking a little in width and needed to be more square for facial balance and she had a chin that could have been deeper. The nose was of uniform width and had the correct shallow curve at the nasal bridge with a full blue and cream nose leather and the cheeks were filling out. The coat was of medium length and had a glossy topcoat and was well intermingled with both blue and cream and all four feet were broken with the two colours. The tail was long and feathered and tapered slightly at the tip. Tabby markings were also visible as she had an ‘M’ on her forehead, eye and head lines and a faint tabby lines down the spinal area with a butterfly visible on her shoulders. The legs had barring and had well tufted paws. A well mannered exhibit when handled.

64 44dw MN 10.10.07
A one and a half year old red tabby and white maine coon boy who had a massive body that was long and very rectangular in shape and ending with a well squared off rump supported on thick tree trunk legs that were very well muscled. His head was of medium size and had good width with well placed ears that were tall, wide at the base and had very good ear tufts and shorter feathering. He had a fairly square muzzle that showed good tabby spots and long whiskers. The nose had a correct profile and was of uniform width and had a slight dip at the nasal bridge and a full pink nose leather. The eyes were round and large in size and had a slight oblique setting in the face with yellowish eye colour and showing clear lighter spectacles. Tabby markings were visible and were of a rich shade of red overlying a paler apricot colour. He had red over the top of head and the sides of the face and the face showed both red and white areas below the eyes. There was pencilling on the cheeks and eye and head lines with a clear ‘M’ on his forehead. The cheeks were fairly full and he had a firm chin and a level bite. The bib, chin and underside of the body were a clean white and the back and legs had visible tabby markings while all four feet were white. The coat was of medium length and was of a soft texture and was slightly shorter over the neck. The tail was long and reached well to the shoulders and flowing and tapering towards the tip. A gentle giant when handled.
Thanks must go to Bruce and Gillian for inviting me to this
lovely show and of course the exhibitors for entering their lovely cats
for me to see, I also thank my friend Sarah for stewarding the cats really
relaxed with her and I really enjoyed our day.
Seal Point Kitten (MALE) 1 entry
1st BOB Gibson's Kheraf Geraldo 24 Male- 28/11/08
Balanced young man of good type nothing exaggerated, lovely size for his
age well developed. Top of head requires a smidge more width for balance
slight dip in profile firm chin and level bite, I note that he was teething
and I did not penalise him for this or his eyes which looked a bit sore
particularly the his left eye which he was favouring when I judged him,
the duty vet confirmed that it was teething related. Eyes appeared of
good shape and set and of acceptable colour that ideally I would prefer
deeper blue. Long strong muscular body well developed with large paws
and long limbs, tail just long enough for balance. Good points colour
of a warm seal brown, warm cream body colour with excellent coat texture
slightly long. A Happy baby of good type. I did deliberate over the BOB
as I felt that he had minor problems but on the day and on the whole I
felt overall he was just worthy.

1st and BOB W/H
2nd Wallace's Khardagia Tsuki 32/1 27/08/08 Initially I was a bit shocked
at this young lady's overall size for seven months she looked like a 4
month old kitten although she was happy and seemed ok In herself, I would
have preferred more weight and polish! She was of medium type with a shorter
wedge head and narrow top with ears that need more size and flare, Uneven
profile with a shallow chin and level bite with sore gums, her eyes were
of a deep blue and well set and of a good oriental shape, there was a
visible scarab and thumb prints and facial tracings with leg bars and
well ringed tail all in a dark and fairly cold seal with a harsh and cool
toned coat that gave a rather black and white impression. She had the
most endearing temperament and just wanted to be out of her pen! Shorter
body of fairly good weight and long dainty limbs with a balanced length
tail. Overall she lacked type and style that I would expect for a higher
award and her size and condition were a deciding factor in her placing,
I did look for her owner after but did not manage to speak to them!
AC Siamese Breed 24 Adult
1st Michie's Gr Ch Highiq Hayaji M (24) 22/03/04 Masculine and Mature
boy now in his prime, of excellent type and lovely overall style. I was
very impressed by his condition and presentation he has a lovely temperament
for a mature stud boy. Longer wedge head balanced with very wide top and
large well flared ears, straight profile with level bite, chin fades slightly.
Eyes slightly straight set but did not detract too much from the overall
impression. Muscular body not overlarge but in proportion with long elegant
limbs and dainty paws for a boy long whip tail to balance with slight
evidence of treated stud tail. His points were of a darker warm seal brown
with very light tonal shading and good contrast visible, short close lying
coat of very good texture in most places just a tad harsher on the spine
line. A stylish boy in super condition, well shown.
2. Shand's Gr Ch Andalyn Amadeus M (24) 04/06/06 Another very attractive
boy of very stylish type looking slightly immature for his age. Longer
wedge with very large wide set flared ears that on occasions he could
bonnet, straight profile with firm chin an slightly messy but level bite,
eyes of the most gorgeous deep blue, excellent expression and of lovely
oriental setting, long muscular body needing a bit more weight (difficult
at this time of year) he is a working boy so it is not unusual. Long legs
with dainty paws and long whipped tail to balance darker warm seal points
with some shading but showing sufficient contrast but the overall impression
of colour was cooler than I would prefer. His coat was a wee shade dry
today. A slightly apprehensive boy but nevertheless very attractive.
3rd Robb's RIvaness Bertie Wooster M (24n) 09/03/08 A Large elegant boy
of very good overall type with a lovely expression, wide top of head with
large flared ears, he was slightly fine in the muzzle and showed a slight
pinch, slightly stepped back chin with level bite. His eyes were of a
lovely colour and set well but he could at times hold these wide. Long
elegant muscular body long limbs and fine paws with long whipped tail
to balance, Darker Blue based caramel points with brownish tones developing
well and brownish cast over his coat which was warm in tone. Slightly
on his toes today presented beautifully.
4th Frasers Serapis Free Spirit M (24) 17/07/08 Huge well grown youngster
ensconced on his very comfortable bed, lovely temperament and a very laid
back young man. Rather lacking style at this stage, medium wedge head
with slight dip in profile and small depression behind the brow line large
ears that he tends to bonnet and ideally requiring more flare and could
be larger for overall balance. Firm chin and level bite. His eyes were
of an acceptable blue and well set that he could hold slightly open, long
well covered muscular body with slight hollow in the rib cage near the
sternum (DV confirmed all ok).
5th Wallace's Kazek Khardagia Kalel M (24) 18/11/07 Rangy boy on his toes
which was not helped by the fact he was in a double pen! Rather lacking
show preparation today. Unbalanced medium wedge head which was showing
a pinch with a narrow top and ears that need to be larger and have more
width between them. Slight dip in profile, messy bite that was just about
level showing some gingivitis and had a shallow chin, his eyes were not
typically oriental in shape being smaller and more rounded, needing more
depth of colour and expression. Long body that required more weight and
condition. His coat was open and quite greasy to the touch and was fairly
extensively shaded, in tone with his dark but fairly warm seal points.
AC Siamese Breed 32 Adult
1st Robb's Rivaness Mardi Gras (32/8) F 01/08/08 Shy but quite stylish
young miss of very good type, quite wide top with large well set ears
slight dip in profile with firm chin and level bite, she at times could
hold her eyes full but when she (eventually) relaxed these were of good
shape and very good colour long well muscled body long limbs and whipped
tail, good sludgy toned Blue based caramel tabby points all well matched
with M and thumb prints evident as well as 1.5 facial ribbons and a well
ringed tail. All limbs showed well developed leg bars. Good texture coat
that was slightly long a sweet young lady who needed time to relax.
2nd Wallace's Khardagia Taiwantu F (32/1) 18/11/07 Very balanced lady
of good type shorter medium wedge with good top and large ears well set
when she relaxed and stopped trying to head but me! Almost straight profile
with firm chin and level bite. Lovely eyes of good shape and good colour
long muscular body with very full stomach, obviously had a large breakfast!!
Whip tail to balance. Darker seal tabby points all well matched with clear
M and facial ribbons thumb prints and bracelets, tail was well ringed.
Lovely temperament to this lady.
3rd Michie's Debikat Jose thespecialone M (32/3) 29/07/08 Quite a flashy
young man of very nice type but for his age very small and lacking generally
in masculinity. Medium wedge with very wide top and very large flared
ears that on occasion he could bonnet, almost straight profile with firm
chin and slightly scissor over bite, eyes of good shape and set that ideally
could be deeper in colour - he had a intermittent Siamese expression long
fairly well muscled body that could be much larger and more developed.
Long elegant limbs, tail requires an inch for balance, darker warm chocolate
tabby points all well developed and matching with M and thumb prints and
face ribbons and leg bars, tail well ringed. Lovely texture coat that
was slightly long. Lovely temperament to this boy, his main fault was
his size for age and also his bite today but for this would have easily
won on type alone.
4th Brash's Rivaness Miz Prissy 32/2 10/03/08 Slightly apprehensive young
lady of good type medium wedge with muzzle pinch at present large ears
needing a smidge more space between and some more flare. Slight dip in
profile with firm chin and level bite, slightly full eyes of acceptable
colour but I would prefer them to have a deeper tone. Very long elegant
body with long elegant limbs and tiny spoon paws. Darker blue tabby points
all well matched showing good leg bars and tail rings and she also has
thumb prints (not often visible on dilutes). Her paw pads were more mottled
akin to a tortie rather than the required bluish pink the standard states.
Her coat was a slightly more warm cream than the cold white that is also
required for a blue tabby although the available light did not help the
blues/lilacs. The coat texture was good if slightly long a sweet lady
maturing well but slightly out of sync at present.

AV Oriental/Siamese/Balinese Radius Kitten
1st Witheld
2nd Shand's Palmira Yolande F (24c) 27/09/08
On first glance this lady looked very balanced and quite stylish but sadly
her eye colour was far too pale for the standard. She also has a couple
of minor faults at this stage that overall I felt unable to award a first
place. Overall a Very well grown young lady with very bad language! Goodness
knows where she learnt such a varied and rude vocabulary. Wide top of
head with large well set ears, straight profile firm chin and level bite,
pale blue eyes needing far more depth for the breed, they were however
of very good set and when relaxed a good shape. Well covered muscular
body with long legs and whip tail to balance. Darker lilac points that
I would prefer more pink tones to be evident, gorgeous coat texture excellent
length. Paw pads again on this lady were more mottled with pink and cream
again more akin to a tortie! Wonder if this was more hormonal?
3rd Hewson's Emerpus Dante M (37K) 14/11/08 Very shy boy of medium type
with a narrow top and ears ideally could have more size and flare for
the length of head which again was far too narrow. Straight profile with
firm chin and level bite oriental eyes of acceptable shape and showing
two tones of green paler green to rim, long very tense tubular body with
long elegant limbs and dainty paws, whip tail to balance. His coat was
a main concern it was a very dull cinnamon tone lacking the rich spicy
intensity one desires and also across his torso it was very unsound showing
a clear tabby pattern (spotted) its was so unsound it almost looked smoked
in places! The coat was also slightly long although of a good texture.
A sweet boy with a lot of work to do type and coat wise!
4th Khardagia Tsuki (32/1) 27/08/08
AV Oriental/Siamese/Balinese Visitors Kitten
1st French's Palmira Beaujangles (24B) M 05/09/08 Very well grown young
man of stylish type with a longer wedge head that could have marginally
more depth, very wide top with large flared ears slight dip in profile
with firm chin and slightly scissor over bite. Eyes of very good expression
a smidge deep set and small but of very good deep colour. Long muscular
body of excellent size and length with long legs and large paws. All points
in an excellent warm pale chocolate, slightly long coat of excellent warm
cream unshaded and lovely texture. Lovely temperament and super presentation.
AV Oriental/Siamese/Balinese Radius Neuter
1st Buchan's Pr Keelokan Kaikai (32/5) MN 13/10/06 Huge Stylish Boy with
Medium balanced wedge with large well set flared ears, wide top slight
dip in profile level bite and slight stepped back chin, slightly straight
set eyes of good shape and of an acceptable colour in the available light,
I would prefer this deeper. Huge long slightly plump body with good muscle
tone. Long elegant limbs and long whip tail with slight invisible indiscretion
at tip. Lovely bright red tabby points all well defined and clear M and
ribbons with bracelets and tail rings. Lovely coat texture if a smidge
long, overall a lovely handsome boy of very good type in super condition.
2nd Buchan's Gr Pr Keelokan Hagen Daz (35) MN 24/06/05 Quite a stylish
boy not overlarge but looking very composed. Well balanced head with Good
top and large well placed ears straight profile with firm chin and bite
looked level although top incisors missing now. His eyes were expressive
and of good shape and colour, long firm body with long elegant limbs and
dainty paws. Slightly thick tail of good length. Clean crisp white coat
of excellent texture though it was a mite long excellent texture. A handsome
boy in lovely condition looking good today.
3rd Fyfe's Betabil Myfairlady (29c) 05/08/08 Timid lady of good type,
a bit overawed today and as a result looking a bit wide eyed (these did
improve as she relaxed) Longer wedge with adequate top and large ears.
Lovely profile very straight and even with a rather shallow chin, bright
green eyes that pale towards outer rim long firm body, elegant limbs and
tiny spoon paws, long whip tail to balance. Excellent even coloured coat
of a dark lilac rather lacking in pink tones in the available light. This
was of an excellent texture and shining with health. A shy young lady
needing to get used to showing to improve her look.
AC Siamese/Balinese/Oriental Visitors Neuter
1st Spence's Pr Scotmar Classie Lassie (24a) 09/04/07
Quite a stylish young lady of good type shorter broad wedge with wide
top and large well set ears straight profile with firm chin and level
bite. Lovely eye colour that she holds wide and this did give her a somewhat
untypical expression. Long well muscled body, long limbs and dainty paws.
Long whip tail to balance. Points of a dark blue that were fairly well
matched apart from the tail which was darker. The coat was of a fawn tone
and lightly shaded, not the preferred cold glacial tone! Rather grumpy
but in lovely condition presented well.
2nd Allison's Trelgandorf Tabaco Lord (29) MN 29/05/06
Huge boy of very good type, Broad medium wedge head with large well set
ears and good top. Straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Eyes
of a pale yellowish green not the bright green as the standard requires.
His eyes were a good shape in the pen, long muscular body; long legs and
large feet. Long whip tail to balance. Warm Havana brown coat that was
mainly sound apart from the areas he has been plucking as these were still
fairly sparse. The paw pads and nose leather lacked the chocolate brown
pigment required and were bright pink. He was very nervous today and would
have benefited from his nails clipping as he was rather difficult to extract
from his pen.
Many thanks to Gillian & Bruce Bennett for the very kind invitation to judge. Their hospitality was superb and there were very many excellent cats to judge .My very enjoyable day was made complete by my very attentive,competent and pleasant companion IAN THOMPSON who stewarded for me,many thanks Ian I liked your very entertaining company.

RES.GPC. DAVIE’S PR. YAHESKA AVALANCHE 64 14c MN – 4.11.06. A big shy boy, very sweet natured. Ears large, tufted & furnished but set wide & he refused to hold them up for us. Good breadth to the top of head, cheeks high & full, rounded pale green eyes. Slight curve to the bridge of the nose with a suggestion of a bump beneath, muzzle fairly square, bite today seems slightly undershot but he was pulling his head back which can affect the assessment, good strong deep chin. Long strong rectangular body ending in balanced flowing tail & very strongly boned long legs with large tufted paws. Superb coat, with lovely flow to the top & deep shaggy undercoat, full mane & breeches. Sadly he was not showing himself to full advantage.

1ST.CC W/H. MCKAY’S ADATELO CHANTILLY ROUGE 64 41fs F – 25.7.08. A sweet little soul but not of the size or type required for the breed, my reason for with holding the certificate today. Head rather short & lacking a square muzzle. Ears in proportion to the small head, tufted & furnished, lovely rounded expressive eyes, slight curve to the bridge of the nose, good profile, bite not quite level & chin narrow. Body lean & fairly long, bone fine for the breed & paws dainty & tufted, long tail showing flow.

BOB.WRIGHT’S CH.COONTASTIC BLUE VELVET 64 41gsw F – 17.3.07.

Lovely large ears, tufted & furnished, set high & held erect, defined high cheeks & large rounded eyes with slight oblique set. Gentle curve at bridge to broad nose, level bite, strong chin & square muzzle. Long strong limbs, super long rectangular torso & flowing tail to balance.

Ears tufted & well furnished, rather low set & a little small, beautiful large rounded eyes with slight oblique set, gentle curve to the profile, level bite, strong deep chin & square muzzle. Well boned with huge tufted feet, long rectangular body with square rump & long profusely furnished tail.
3RD.PAYNE’S DRAGONMAINE STRONG FLAME 64 41d M – 16.5.08. A timid lad but very sweet natured. Ears of good size, tufted & furnished, eyes rounded but set rather too oblique & cheeks high. Nose shows a very distinct concave curve & is then very broad with no lateral definition, bite level, muzzle square & chin could do with a little more depth. Very well grown with strongly boned limbs, large tufted paws, long body & lovely long flowing tail. Developing coat with a lovely pattern, a nice boy at a transitional stage of development & needs a little more time.

2ND.PAYNE’S DRAGONMAINE BATTLEHEART 64 41e F – 21.5.08.

3RD.MACKAY’S ADATELO SILVER MYSTIQUE 64 41g F – 25.7.08. A sweet little cat, just coming into call. Even given her age of only just 9 months, I felt she was too small & finely boned for the breed.

His coat is short and fine in texture, lies close to body with nice glossy appearance, a pleasant dove-grey lacking a pink cast.

Her beautiful coat is short and glossy – a warm chocolate with shades of red. I look forward to seeing how she progresses.

The profile shows a gently rounded contour, a slight rise to his nose, which is uniform in length and flows to his neck, although tarnishing is apparent at the nose tip.

This girl was stunning. Her head shows a slightly rounded wedge of medium length, the profile has a gentle contour, rising gently from the bridge of her nose to her forehead and flows back into her arched neck. Her uniformly shaped nose ends in a gently rounded muzzle with a firm chin and level bite. Her ears are medium in size, broad at base, show a slight flare and have a pointed tip with good space between. Large eyes of gooseberry green have an upward slant to lower lid and are set straight under a level brow.

The coat is short and lies close, has desired sheen with silk-like feel. Her markings are plainly visible against the ground colour with a pale silver undercoat which is tipped with black. Her head shows a barred forehead with the epitome of an “M” and frown marks, giving the wonderful “worried” look, also noticeable is the scarab design with extending lines between the ears and down her neck. Barred cheeks and ‘mascara’ lines are obvious and the body has spots of variable shape and size distinctly contrasted against the paler ground colour. Broken necklaces seen on chest with shoulder stripes and spots, also spinal line has elongated spots merging into dorsal line to tip of black tail.

1 IGP MATHER’S GR PR STATIONARY SCARLETSHADOW (32s) MN 7/7/05 A mature and elegant red chap with a long wedge and deep firm chin line, ears are well set could ideally be a tad larger, lovely eyes for shape, set and depth of colour, straight profile, small pinch , level bite. Long neck and body – the tail rather short to balance but is a good whip. Elegant length of leg and neat paws. Points of a pleasing bright tone – stockings paler, clear white coat with some tonal shading evident to hips and spine, coat rather long but of excellent texture. Handled really well.
ORIENTAL BI-COLOUR ADULT INTERMEDIATE
W/COL to MICHIE’S FISEPO BLUE SOLEIL F 12/7/08 Unfortunately this young lady was entered as 48 40 g but she is clearly 48 40n and today as she did not conform to the colour SOP I had no option but to wrong colour. I was pleased to have the chance to discuss her with her Owner later who did concur.
Medium wedge with large ears that were open to base but she does tend to bonnet them a little, eyes pale blue in tone with a slightly paler outer rim, held a touch full until relaxed, small bump on nose in profile, chin rounds slightly but bite ok, firm well developed body in line with age, whip tail. She had clean bright white evident for over a third as required, with her mask showing white to right side, clear line of white through her undercarriage, points show colour of a dark brownish grey with saddle patches to back well matched, the apricot breaks are really warm and ‘glowing’ in tone. Coat of lovely texture and of a good length.
ORIENTAL LILAC NEUTER
1 PC and BOB FYFE’S BETABIL MYFAIRLADY FN 5/8/08 Nicely balanced young lady. Short wedge with large ears that need to be a little more open to the base and a little more width between ideally. Eyes of basic good shape – a little full – brilliant green, firm profile , chin a little shallow but bite level, long neck and body, length of tail and elegant legs with neat paws. Super coat with a lovely pink tone evident and sleek and close lying – almost sound.
ORIENTAL RED NEUTER

Rich red – heavy pattern showing but this is to the surface only, super close texture – fits him like a glove. Congratulations on BOV Oriental.
SEAL POINT ADULT MALE
1 (CC w/h) FRASER’S SERAPIS FREESPIRIT 17/7/08 Well grown youngster but with a few ‘niggles and problems ’ today. Medium wedge with quite a pronounced pinch, ears of good size but set close and held high, small depression evident to skull with a dip and bump to profile eyes of good depth of colour, a touch full in shape until fully relaxed, long well grown body line – funny little ‘indentation’ at end of where xiphy sternum should be, the DV did not really know what had caused it. Tail is a good whip but needs another inch or two. Seal brown points - need a touch more warmth ideally but it may as yet be hormonal as his coat displayed a good warm tone and gave excellent contrast. Coat was a fraction long but lovely texture.
2 WALLACE’S KAZET KAHRDAGIA KALEL 18/11/07 I was concerned by the overall condition of this lad – his spine was prominent and he was lacking weight added to that he was very uptight so we were only able to give him a brief assessment. Medium wedge with sharp muzzle line lacking any depth to chin – could not check bite to closely but it appeared ok – eyes of a good shape but the haws up and lack depth of colour, short lightweight body, whip tail with greasy base, dark seal brown points, heavily shaded, coat open and rather dry to the feel.
BOB MICHIE’S GR CH HIGHIQ HAYA JI 22/3/04 My first meeting with this lad– wonderful! Just my cup of tea and his condition and temperament both first class and a credit to his Owner – hard work to keep a working boy of this age looking top nick. Not overly large but compact and muscular – no doubting he is a male. Lovely strong wedge with wide set open based ear, oriental deep blue eyes, firm profile, lacking a little in the chin dept!, few missing teeth now, strong hard body, whip tail – shows signs of treated stud tail, ideally needs another inch, fine legs. Fantastic seal brown warm points and wonderful contrasting coat - this close and of excellent texture.
He was my choice later in the day for Best Adult and then BOV.The pleasure was all mine!
Also considered SHAND’S GRCH ANDALYN AMADEUS 4/6/06 Another stylish lad who was unlucky today. Strong wedge - minimal pinch, ears of good size and set without the exaggeration of Haya Ji (and which I love!) slightly squarer to muzzle which throws the triangular effect slightly, Oriental eyes of good depth and brilliant tone, almost straight profile, chin levels up but could have a bit more depth, level bite, would like a little more neck to him, strong long muscular body, long fine whip. Dark seal points – reasonable warmth to them, some tonal shading. Well presented.

1 CC and BOB SHAND’S CH PALMIRA SULAWEISI F 15/2/08 Loved this choc lady – elegant and typey and a good colour to boot! Long wedge with firm chin line, ears large and wide set, eyes set straight unfortunately – her only minus point! – and slightly small -, very good depth of colour to them, level bite, elegant neckline she uses to her advantage and long substantial body with fine whip tail with tiny excrescence to tip and slender long legs. Points warm and medium toned chocolate – quite well matched as well, some brindling around eyes to mask. Clear to body giving excellent contrast, coat a touch dry to the feel.

1 BOB FRENCH’S PALMIRA BEAUJANGLES M 5/9/08 Another lovely chocolate point – this time a well grown and developed male kitten with long wedge , large ears well set with good width between , would just like them to be a little more open to the base to ‘hold’ the set, eyes are a fraction straight in set but of very good depth of colour and expression, roman profile, chin shallow but bite level, long neck and body with long fine whip and elegant lengthy legs. Points warm and matched – good to see them and very pale ivory warm coat. Coat a fraction dry and open. My choice for Best Siamese Kitten – congratulations.

Short nose with deep break and fully formed pink leather. Full round cheeks and ample width to muzzle. Scissor bite and good chin to balance. Heavy and cobby with broad chest and standing very low on short thick legs with fully tufted feet. Short extremely well furnished tail that is almost as wide as his body. When he stands on the table his feet are only just visible as his coat is extremely long and flowing. Full and soft in texture it has been expertly prepared with every hair separated. He is off a rich and vibrant red colour that is mostly sound showing just a little ghost barring. Very full ruff framing his face and deep frill to chest. Slightly paler red underbelly and underneath tail. He has the most wondrous temperament and is a real charmer. My nomination for B.I.S. Persian Adult which he so deservedly won and went on to become B.O.V Persian. A credit to both his breeder and his owners.

Three lines over the top of his head leading to a clear butterfly. Clear single spine line at present, oysters to flanks and fully ringed medium length tail.

Predominantly sparkling white with cream spot to shoulders showing tabby lines and blue patch to body with faint tabby markings. All legs showing three colours.

Medium top to head with larger sized ears, a little open at base and still to settle but with lovely long furnishings. Very bold round copper eyes. Short nose with deep break and fully formed brick leather. Good width to cheeks and muzzle with a level bite and nice depth of cream chin to balance. Medium sized girl who is quite cobby with excellent bone and good body weight. Her top coat is very warm rich and vibrant, jet black and showing all shades of red well distributed. All feet broken. Today her coat is soft and silky to touch but lying a little flat and needing more undercoat to lift it. Lovely tabby face with thumbprints to ears, clear ‘M’ to forehead, pencilling from eyes and to cheeks. Tramlines over the top of her head leading to a clear spineline. She appears to be a classic tabby but has no clearly discernable butterfly to her shoulders and questionable oysters to her flanks but her coat is very well patched making it harder to perceive a pattern. Body showing a little coldness to roots. Two necklaces to chest, clear bars to legs and fully furnished ringed tail. Black to hocks. A placid and easy going girl who shows great promise.
