He has a medium size body with sturdy legs and tufted paws, covered by a well prepared long soft in texture coat that is still developing, he has a fairly clear undercoat but his tipping is a little heavy on his face and back at the moment, hence gave him the benefit of the doubt in giving him the cc on this occasion.

Her body is in proportion with strong legs and rounded paws, covered by a well-prepared silky textured pale but rather short pale coat at the moment and overlaid with fairly even black mantle down to her plumed tail, nice girl but unfortunately I could not give the CC today, she needs more coat and hopefully her eye colour will improve.

OPEN CLASSES
CHAMPION FEMALE:
GR CC ROUSE’S CH. STARDROPS YACINTA (INT CH IMP) (10) DOB. 15.08.06. This was a pretty, well balanced Chinchilla girl. She had a perfect bite and firm chin. Her eyes were large and round and a good green colour. She had a short broad nose with good break and the correct brick red nose leather. There was good black pencilling around her nose, eyes and lips. She had an excellent top of head, with her well furnished and neat little ears well positioned and widely spaced. Her coat was a good length, soft in texture but I thought lacked just a little fullness. There was even light tipping over her back and upper side of tail. She was a cobby girl, with a large smoothly rounded head, full cheeks, a short broad body, short well boned legs and a full short tail. She had an excellent temperament, and had been well prepared for the show.
RESERVE ROUSE’S CH STARDROPS LARISSA (IMP) (10) DOB 27.07.06. Another very pretty chinchilla girl with a profuse coat. It was long and flowing and had a light even tipping over her back and upper tail. The coat was soft in texture and had been well prepared. Unfortunately her bite is a bit undershot, but she had a firm chin. Her nose was small and broad, and she had the correct brick red nose leather. She had eyes that were large and round and of an acceptable blue/green shade. There was good black pencilling around her eyes nose and lips. Her ears were being held a little high today, and they were a little open at the base. I would have liked her head to be larger, but it was smoothly rounded. She had a short broad body, well boned legs and a full short tail.
CHINCHILLA NEUTERS MALE:
1 PC HOW’S PR CUSHKA CUSHKA SANTINO (10) DOB 20.05.06. This Chinchilla was a very lovable friendly lad, with a profuse well prepared coat. For perfection I would have liked his tipping a little lighter, but it was evenly distributed. He had a bold, smoothly rounded head, with full cheeks and a firm chin. His bite was good although his teeth were concave. His eyes were large and round and of a very good rich blue/green colour. The fullness of his coat helped to conceal ears that were a touch large, but they were well furnished and positioned towards the sides of his head to give a good width to his top. He was a cobby lad, with a short broad body to balance his large round head, and he had well boned short legs and a full short tail. This lad was a pleasure to handle.
2 HOW’S CH PR HOWZAT ICE EDITION (10) DOB. 21.07.02. Another handsome lad, who had a profuse, long flowing coat of soft silky texture. He had good overall balance, with a large smoothly rounded head. For perfection I would have liked his ears a little smaller, but they were well positioned to give a good top of head. He had excellent large round eyes of a good blue green colour. His bite was concave but level and he had a firm chin. There was good pencilling present around his eyes nose and lips. There was staining on his face which spoiled his appearance a little, however he was a friendly lad and had been otherwise well prepared for the show.
3 BAYLISS’S PR. TAMOSAH ELVINSTARDUST (10) DOB 20.06.06.
CHINCHILLA NEUTERS FEMALE:
MATTHEWS’ CH & IGP VILLERS WHATAPOPPET (10) DOB 04.06.05. She was a truly glamorous Chinchilla girl, with a wonderful full softly textured flowing coat. There was even light tipping over her back and upper tail. She has a perfect bite, and excellent large round eyes of a very good shade of blue green. There was good black pencilling around her brick red nose leather as well as her lips and eyes. Her nose was short and broad with a good break. She is a cobby girl, with short thick legs, and a full short tail. Sadly she became very cross with us, and I thought we might have to issue an A.S.B.O. but a very confident steward helped us avoid that necessity.
2 HOW’S HOWZAT SERENA (10) DOB 12.07.07. A Chinchilla girl with a sweet expression. Her head was large and round with a smoothly rounded forehead. Here yes were large and round and of a good blue/green colour. I thought her ears were held a little high today, slightly spoiling the width to her top of head. She had a perfect bite and a firm chin. Her nose was short and broad with a good break, and the correct brick red nose leather. There was good black pencilling around her eyes nose and lips. She had a very well balanced cobby build with a large head, short broad body, exceptionally short thick tail and well boned thick short legs.
PEWTER ADULT NEUTER:
1 PC ABBOTT’S TAMOSAH FIREFLY (53) DOB 25.08.07. This was a huge, friendly lad with a very full and softly textured coat. He had an even black mantle over his back and upper tail lying over a very good bright white undercoat. I thought his eyes could have been a little larger, but they were round in shape and of a good copper colour. He bite was good and he had a firm chin. He had a short broad nose with a good break and the correct brick red nose leather. There was good black pigmentation around his eyes, nose and lips. He was a well grown cobby lad, with a large smoothly rounded head, short broad body, short well boned legs and a full short tail. He had a good temperament and had been well prepared.
2 ABBOTT’S TAMOSAH ELIJAH (53) DOB 04.08.06. This was a very handsome Pewter lad, whose looks outshone his mood on the day. Once out of his pen he was quite manageable; he simply complained a lot. He had very good overall balanced type, with a large smoothly rounded head and full cheeks. His bite was acceptable and he had a firm chin. His nose was short and broad with a good break and the correct brick red nose leather. His small ears were well positioned and were well furnished. His coat was full and soft, and he had a black mantle running from the top of his head to the top of his tail, but this was a little uneven. He had been well prepared for the show.
MISCELLANEOUS CLASSES:
AC JUNIOR MALE:
1 BAYLISS’S TAMOSAH GREAT EXPECTATIONS (51) DOB 12.05.08. I thought this lad was a very attractive cat, although at present he lacks maturity. At just 9 months old he will develop much more yet. On the day I had some uncertainty about whether he was a Black shaded cameo or a Black smoke. There was a strong indication of a black mask and silver frill both suggestive of a black smoke. There was even tipping over his back and flanks and the hair shafts where about half coloured to half white. The undercoat was a very nice white colour. He had lovely balanced type, with a large smoothly rounded head and full cheeks. His ears were small and well positioned to give a good top of head. He had a small broad nose with a good break and black nose leather. His eyes were large and round and of a good copper colour. He was a cobby lad, with short well boned legs, and a full short tail.
AC SENIOR MALE/FEMALE:
1 TAYLOR’S LYNCHARD NATASHA (10) DOB 24.09.04. This pretty Chinchilla girl had large round green eyes filled with expression. Her bite was good and she had a firm chin. Her coat was full and softly textured with light even tipping and an excellent full white undercoat. Her nose was short and broad with a good break and she had small ears positioned will to give a broad top of head. She had been well prepared for the shown and had a good temperament.
2 PEARSON’S PHOENIXRISING (53) DOB 17.05.05. This was a very pretty pewter girl with very good overall balance. She had large round eyes of a good copper colour. Her nose was short and broad with a good break and the correct brick red nose leather. She had good pigmentation around her eyes nose and lips. Her ears were small a little open at the base but well positioned to give width to her top of head. On the day she was experiencing a seasonal malt, resulting in her coat not being at its best. Because she had lost coat this helped her mantle to look heavier that it would have done if lifted by undercoat. There was very good evidence of white undercoat, but her slightly heavier mantle accentuated the tabby markings. She was a cobby little girl, with a large round head, short broad body, well boned short legs and a full short tail. She was a pleasing little girl, and had a good temperament.
AC BREEDERS KITTEN MALE:
1 TAYLOR’S LYNCHARD RINGO STAR (10) DOB. 25.09.08. This was a super little lad with a profuse, softly textured coat, with that sparkling appearance produced by light even tipping, and an abundant white undercoat. He had a good bit, with firm chin. His eye colour had not yet cleared, but there was every indication of a density of colour. He had a short broad nose with a good break and the correct brick re nose leather. There was good pencilling around his eyes nose and lips. His ears were small and positioned towards the sides of his head to give an excellent width to his top of head. He was a cobby little chap, with a large full cheeked round head, short broad body, well boned short legs and a full short tail. He had been well prepared for the show and had a good temperament.
2 ROUSE’S VILLERS SILVER SNOWMAN (10) DOB 10.09.08. This was another very attractive little lad who had a good softly textured coat that was lightly and evenly tipped over a good white undercoat. His bite needs watching, and on the day I considered it to be slightly undershot. He had a firm chin, and a short broad nose with a good break and the correct brick red nose leather. There was good black pencilling around his eyes nose and lips. His ears were well positioned to give a good top of head, and he was a cobby little chap with a large smoothly rounded head, short broad body, well boned short legs and a full short tail. He had been well prepared for the show and had a good temperament.
AC NON-BREEDERS NEUTER:
1 MEADOWS’ CH PR YOONEEK WISHUPONASTAR (6) DOB 30.08.06. This huge black smoke fellow had the sweetest of temperaments. On the day he was not in full coat which detracted from the magnificence we expect from a black smoke, however he had a good solid facial mask, and good white ear tufts. He would have looked better with more white frill to frame his face. His coat was black with approx two thirds colour over a bright with undercoat. His bite was good and he had a firm chin. His eyes were large and round and of a good copper colour. He had small ears that were well positioned to give a good top of head. He had a good cobby build, with large round head, short broad back, well boned short legs and a full short tail. He had been well prepared for the show.
A very big thank you to Di and the Club for the invitation to judge at the UCA. Although the entry was reduced the quality of the exhibits was not, it was my pleasure to handle some really quality cats. The hospitality was super including the lovely lunch (especially the “puddings”!!). My thanks also to Pat Parrish who again steward for me, she was a great help and really loved to handle the cats. I took over some of Mrs Fisher’s classes, hope the exhibitors did not mind the change and that Rosemary will soon be fully recovered.
