OPEN CLASSES

A.C. Oriental Premier Neuter Male
GD PC – Bright’s PR MIDAMYST SPARKLEMAKER (29) 05/11/06. A very elegant boy of stylish type. Long wedge but top line very good and the ears are large and very well set so there is good head balance. Snooty expression to eyes, oriental in shape, a touch deep set perhaps, colour mid green. Imposing, almost straight profile, with just a slight bump at eye level, chin firm and bite level. Long and elegant body with excellent weight and tone, long limbs and spoon paws, excellent long whip tail to balance. Havana coat a little dark but reasonably warm in tone, free of ghosting on the body and virtually sound to roots, length and texture excellent, beautifully sleek and close. This lad is a much more relaxed person these days and handled really well today. I understand this makes him up congratulations. Excellently presented.

R – Baker’s PR SOLARUS MISTOFFELEES (37fn) 11/07/07. A big lad of very good type. Medium length wedge with good top of head, ears of proportionate size, well flared and set. Oriental eye shape and set but not quite the expression of the winner, colour good green. Tiny dip to profile centre nose, chin and bite good, slight pinch to muzzle. Good length to body but rather heavy today and thus tending to make his head look small in proportion, long limbs, tail needs an inch to balance. Super coat, short and sleek with good hot apricot colour, showing light tabby pattern and almost sound. Extremely vocal and loud with it, handled well and was excellently presented.

A.C. Oriental Premier Neuter Female
GD PC – Hutching’s PR WILHAVETODO IMJUSTDIVINE (43e) 04/08/07. A very stylish but painfully shy female. Excellent head which I am sure would look even better if she would just relax, with lovely top line and large flared ears set to balance. Very good shape and set to eyes that she can widen at times, colour a good green. Straight profile and good chin, bite just about level. Excellent tone to body which was long and slender, with long limbs and long whip tail. Unusually for a Shaded her tortie pattern predominates and the undercoat is darker in places than is normally seen, but there is still evidence at the tips of the hair of her tabby shading, and clear definition between the two, with the tabby markings on the extremities much better defined than on the body. Excellent length and texture to coat, very short and sleek. A little self-belief would do wonders for this lady, although her quality is still very obvious. Excellently presented.

Havana Adult Male
1st CC w/h – Boddy’s SEETEEZ STANDING OVATION 01/09/07. A very strong, masculine and handsome lad. Broad medium wedge with very good top line and large open based ears very well set. Correct eye shape and set with good clear green colour. Almost straight profile and good chin, unfortunately the bite is well overshot. Long substantial body, well muscled and firm toned, long strong limbs and oval paws, good length tail but unfortunately a small defect at the tip that was almost visible. Lovely sleek texture to coat but colour rather dark for the breed and it was very unsound today. A good tempered boy albeit a little nervous. Excellently presented.

Oriental Lilac Adult Male
Judged for BOB only and awarded – Thompson’s GD CH CLAERPENTON PIMPERNEL 23/03/07. A big strong boy of very good type. Medium length wedge with very good top of head, ears of good size and set, nicely flared. Oriental eye shape and set with very good clear green colour. Strong profile and firm chin, bite rather untidy but level. Long, strong and well muscled body, long strong limbs, tapered tail needs little more length to balance. Generally good lilac coat colouring, just the tail and front limbs showing some fawnish overtones, coat length good, lying close and with very good texture, impressively sound for a dilute. Excellent to handle and excellently presented.

Oriental Lilac Adult Female
1st , CC w/h – Holt’s SNOWSEAL HIDDEN PROMISES 16/06/07. Petite female who lacked size and substance for an almost mature girl. Head type very good, well balanced and quite stylish. Basically good eye shape and set but was widening them with temper. Almost straight profile, firm chin, bite examined with care, it appeared to be level. Good length to dainty body but I did wonder if she is post kittens as she needs more weight and coverage over the spine, dainty limbs, tail needs an inch to balance. Very good lilac coat colour, soft pale lilac, fairly unsound today, length and texture very good. A very cross person, very well presented.

Oriental Black Female
1st , CC w/h – Davidge-Evans’ SATIVA BACK DIAMOND 04/10/07. Quite a stylish lady but she is kitten-like and small for her age. Medium length head with good top line and largish ears very well set. Good shape and set to eyes though she does tend to hold them wide, colour excellent, vivid green. Profile rather uneven, chin okay, bite level. Longish body is narrow and lacking in substance with spine and hips prominent. Dense black coat that was rather long and a little too fine in texture, thus not lying as close as it should, a touch unsound on the lower sides. A shy and gentle soul who was very sweet tempered. Pen presentation excellent.

Blue Point Siamese Neuter Female
PC & BOB – Watson’s MALIKASIAM MALAIKA SAEEDA 07/10/07. Dainty lady of good type and style. Well balanced medium wedge with good top of head and large ears very well set. Almond shaped eyes correctly set with very good depth of colour . Almost straight profile and good chin, bite a little untidy but level, with the odd incisor missing. Good length to body but is rather too comfortably covered and it spoils her overall balance somewhat, long dainty limbs and neat spoon paws, whip tail. Points colour a touch dark but well matched. Good length and texture to coat that was fairly heavily shaded, sufficient contrast still seen, some glacial tones evident on bib and tummy. A little shy but handled well. Excellently presented.

Red Point Neuter Male
PC – PR CHIARIKKI TRIBAL WARRIOR 10/04/05. A pleasing lad of good type and style. Longish head with very good top line and large flared ears set to follow. Oriental eye shape and set with a sweet and gentle expression, colour bright mid blue. Tiny dip to profile centre nose, chin okay, bite has virtually no incisors remaining but looks reasonably level. Body long and quite substantial, long limbs, tapered tail needs a touch more length to balance. Lighter but bright red points. Medium length coat of close lying if slightly fine texture, lightly shaded overall thus excellent contrast. A very easy boy to handle, presented in tip top condition.

Judged for BOB only and awarded – Wallaces’ IGD PR ROZANDEN SIMBA MFALME 12/04/03. A quality boy, an old friend who never seems to change, he has a very even and well balanced head with excellent expression and colour to eyes. His points colour is extremely good and his coat colour, contrast and texture is exemplary. Handled like a dream and was presented to perfection as always.

MISCELLANEOUS CLASSES
A.C. Siamese Breed 24 or Balinese Equivalent Adult
1st – Duncan’s CH MALIKASIAM EMIR HARITH (24b) M 11/03/05. Recently handled I have little to add. He does have his little problems – chin could be better and he is a little dark, but overall he is an attractive and masculine exhibit.

A.C. Siamese Breed 32 or Balinese Equivalent Adult
1st – Smyth’s NATHIFA GIGALO (32/8) M 13/305/08. This young boy shows much promise for the future. His colour is excellent as are his tabby markings. Head type very good but yet to develop fully, with very good eye shape set and colour. Overall size and development in keeping with age. Excellent temperament.

2nd – Budden’s ELEKTRA AMBER ROSE (32b3) F 09/01/03. I liked the size and substance of this lady, type and style very good. Chocolate tortie points a tad dark but showing a good amount of mid red mingling. Eye shape and set good, colour could be a touch deeper for perfection. Excellent length tail. Lovely to handle.

3rd – Cockwell’s ADSETAM ONEFORSO (32b1) F 09/07/07. Very stylish but not in top condition today, her abdomen was rather distended and her eyes were pink rimmed and sore looking.

A.C. Siamese/Balinese Junior Adult
1st – Cook’s JOHPAS SABINA PURDITA (32c) F 09/05/08. Overall impression is excellent though she is not without her minor problems. I would like deeper eye colour, her profile is slightly uneven and her tail needs more length. On the plus side her colour looked very good today, a soft cool toned cream, her coat length, texture and contrast were very good. A touch shy but handled well, beautifully presented. Congratulations on the Overall BIS win.

2nd – Berry’s PIPPASTRO SOLACE (61p) F 17/02/08. A most attractive Bali lady, still rather kittenish, but she still has time on her side. Head well balanced and even with ears just about large enough Excellent points colour, sludgy caramel with hot toned apricot mingling. Coat could be a touch longer but texture beautifully silky and fine, plume reasonably furnished. Very sweet tempered and easy to handle

3rd – Smyth’s CH NATHIFA DIAMOND GEEZER (61dt) M 16/05/07. An attractive boy of very good type who looks rather immature and lacks the strength of an adult male.

ex 3rd - Webster’s JOHPAS GOLDEN SILKA (32a) F 25/02/08. This lady has very good type and style but her temper makes it very difficult to assess her properly.

A.C. Oriental (6 –9 months) Kitten
1st – Holt’s ADATESH DOT N DASH (37a) MN 18/08/08. A very well grown lad, overall type good, although I would like a slightly wider top of head for balance – looked better out of the pen than in it. Eye shape good but holds a little full, of two toned green. Coat a good clear blue that was very sound to roots, length and texture very good. A promising boy.

A.C. Siamese/Balinese (14 wks – 6months) Kitten
1st – Gray’s LYNNOX KASANOVA (24b) M 23/09/08. Attractive and stylish albeit a touch dainty for a male at this stage. Head a little unbalanced at present, a touch long in the muzzle which showed a marked teething pinch today. Eyes of good shape and set with mid blue colour. Points colour very good, warm toned mid chocolate. Good length and tone to body with whip tail to balance. Excellent temperament.

2nd – Cutler’s LYNNOX KALLIE (24c) F 23/09/08. A dainty baby of good type but a touch small for age at present. Good head type and ear size, eyes of good shape and set but colour could be deeper. Points soft and pale but a little blue toned at present. Excellent coat qualities, very good length and texture for a baby, unshaded. Tail long and whippy

3rd – Buden’s ROLSEN ROSYSROYAL STAMP (24c) F 24/09/08. A very angry young Miss who’s points colour is dark and bordering on Caramel, and has pale eye colour. Presentation excellent.

A.C. Siamese/Balinese (6 – 9 months) Kitten
1st – Harper’s LYNNOX JEZABELLE (24a) F 26/06/08. A very stylish female, almost adult but with some growing to do yet. Excellent head with wide top line and large wide based ears wide set. Soft mid blue points colour, well matched apart from darker tail which was long and whippy Coat length and texture very good but quite heavily shaded for a youngster. Lovely temperament. - knows how to show herself.

2nd – Single’s SINOPE FERN (24c) F 24/07/08. A neat little female of good type and style. Balanced medium wedge , oriental eye shape and set with mid blue colour. Good pale lilac points and warm magnolia coat of good length and texture, lightly shaded over the hips. Excellent temperament.

3rd – Cockwell’s CARBEILE PIPER-HOLLY (24b) F 17/08/08. A dear babe of fair type only, good points but brindling shows under eyes which need more depth of colour.

A.V. Aristocratic Neuter
1st – Robinson’s PR NATHIFA DELICATEDREAMER (32b1) FN 20/06/07. I like the overall balance of this female, her head is a lovely even inverted triangle and her eye shape, set and colour is very good. Profile and chin good but bite untidy and slightly undershot. Seal tortie points a touch on the cool side with red mingling, though plentiful, rather pale, except the ears which have better brightness of colour.

A.V. Not won a PC Neuter
1st – Judge’s MALIKASIAM MICKAEL MAGNUM (24b) MN 02/05/08. A big strong lad who would benefit from fining down somewhat. He has good overall type and a fairly well balanced head although he could be a touch finer in the muzzle. His points are medium chocolate with good warmth of tone. If I were to fault him it would be on his eye colour which does need to be deeper. He is very good tempered and handles well. Presentation excellent.

NON-PEDIGREE OPEN CLASSES
Tabby\Tabby & White LH/SLH Cat
1st – Imber’s MOET (Cream Tabby LH) MN 2yr 6 months. A big chunky boy, more apricot in colour than cream as his colouring is very hot in tone, and he shows an very clear Classic pattern. Lovely eyes with sweet expression and super colour. Beautifully prepared full coat with silky texture, tail short and well plumed. Excellent temperament, a very attractive exhibit well prepared and presented.

Black, Black & White SH Cat
1st - Smith’s SISQO (Black & White SH) MN 1yr 10 Months. A large plumptious person, likes his food methinks. Coat pattern very attractive, he is in fact a Black & White Bicolour with a majority of white, there are a few back spots on the back and head, and he has a black tail. He has such an endearing expression and the dearest little ears. His coat was beautifully prepared, - I do like his whispy bits at the edges. A handsome lad who was very easy to handle.

BEST GROOMED SH CAT/KITTEN

IMPERIAL - GRAND CHAMPION BURMESE – MALE
IGR CC RUSSELL’S GR CH AYSHAZEN HISFATHERS EYES (27). Elegant boy of
pleasing size, weight and muscle. Well shaped body with well rounded chest and,
proportionate limbs, well shaped tail of good length to balance. Short, wide wedge, gently
rounded top of head and brow. Good break to slightly long nose, level chin of medium depth,
correct bite. Chartreuse toned eyes, showing a pleasing top line and well rounded lower, just
large enough. Good shape and size to ears, well set when relaxed. Very short, tight fitting
coat of warm seal brown, showing a beautiful gloss. Superb temperament and excellent
presentation really made this boy a star today!
2 RES IGR CC W/H PALLISTER’S GR CH PENWYNKATZ CRÈME DELIGHT (27f).
Boy of good skeletal size and reasonable muscle, though in need of weight, he is very bony,
though has a “pot belly”. Short wedge of very good width, slight flattening to top of head,
though brow shows rounding. Very well defined nose break, firm, level chin, correct bite.
Very good size, shape and set to chartreuse eyes. Well set ears, good for shape. Short, though
open coat, slightly sticky to the touch, his dirty chin didn’t do him any favours either,
showing good “bloom” to top of head. Very sweet natured, such a shame he was not in
anything near show condition or he should have had the Imperial certificate today.
IMPERIAL - GRAND CHAMPION BURMESE – FEMALE
IGR CC TEGG’S GR CH BLOOMERS BARONESS BELCHAMP (27j). Super girl for size,
weight and muscle. Very elegant body, well shaped limbs, correct tail to balance. Lovely
short, wide wedge, rounded top and brow. Good break to short nose, level chin of medium
depth, correct bite. Beautiful, very expressive chartreuse eyes set wide apart. Medium sized
ears, well set and showing the desired slight forward tilt. Short, close lying coat of super silk
like texture, delightful also for colour, a pretty mingle of pink toned lilacs and creams. Super
temperament and shown in tip top condition. A pleasure to award this lady an Imperial.
2 RES IGR CC W/H HARRIS’ GR CH TALIPAW BELINDA BROWNSILK (27). Rather
rotund girl, which unfortunately upsets her overall balance, well shaped and proportioned
limbs, good shape to tail a touch short to balance body length. Short, wide wedge, rounded
top of head and brow. Good break to nose, which is very broad across bridge, level chin of
acceptable depth, correct bite. Chartreuse eyes of acceptable size, showing a very oblique top
line, though bottom line is correctly shaped. Well set ears when relaxed, good for shape and
size. Warm seal brown coat, slightly long and soft in texture. Really not in the best in
humours today. For me this girl had too many small faults which precluded an award of R
IGR CC, since this is a crème de la crème award.
AOC SOMALI ADULT – FEMALE
BOB ZECH’S CH FINEARTE FLOWERBELL AKIRA (63c). A delightful girl of pleasing
size, weight and muscle. Very elegant, shapely body, dainty, well proportioned limbs and
genteel oval paws with tiny tufts, well shaped and furnished plume tail. Moderate head
showing desired gentle contours, pleasing height to forehead, good nose break, level, firm
chin, correct bite. Lovely green toned eyes, set on the oblique. Well cupped ears with small
tufts, well furnished. Good length to soft textured coat, evenly ticked with blue over a mainly
pale mushroom undercoat. ‘M’ to forehead, spectacles to eyes, facial tracings, slightly darker
spine line, good colour up heels, solid colour tail tip. I’ve written in my book, “A pocket
job!”, this lovely girl more than deserved her BOB.
TONKINESE ADULT – FEMALE
1CC BOB MILLWARD’S CH YOKOTA LUCIE LOCKETT (74c). Lovely size, weight and
muscle to this elegant girl, proportionate limbs, slightly thick tail, just balanced. Medium
wedge showing desired whisker break, slight dip to nose, level chin, correct bite. Pleasing
shape, size and set to green/blue eyes. Well set ears, good for size. Super short, close lying,
silk like textured coat showing darker pink toned lilac points shading to a slightly lighter tone
of lilac to body. For me the best lilac coat I’ve seen in a Tonkinese. Superb temperament and
a super cuddle!
2 CASE’S CH TARJIKA SKYLARK (74at). Elegant girl, good for size and weight. Shapely
body and limbs, good tail to balance. Medium wedge with slight whisker break, slight did to
profile, level chin of medium depth, correct bite. Very good size, shape and set to blue/green
eyes. Well shaped and set ears. Short, close lying coat, a touch harsh along spine today.
Darker blue tabby points, paler blue tones to body. Super temperament. Such a shame this
girl met winner, I would have had no hesitation in awarding her a CC.
SNOWSHOE KITTEN ASSESSMENT

gently rounded wedge. Medium length straight nose showing desired slight dip. Level chin of

and brow. Pleasing nose break, level, firm chin, correct bite. Lustrous deep yellow eyes, well
set and shaped. Lovely shape to well set ears. Short, close lying, warm chocolate toned coat

charming ‘frown’ to forehead. Had a lot to say for himself out of his pen!

ASIAN TABBY [SPOTTED, CLASSIC, MACKEREL OR TICKED] KITTEN MALE:
1 PERKINS’ SKAMPAWS ASHPUTTEL HUMBUG (72 41bsq) Chocolate Silver Classic Tabby with BCR 4 months 1 week. Outgoing little person with a lovely nature and quite good type. Fairly short wide wedge with width at the jaw tapering to a blunt finish at muzzle. Gently rounded top between medium well set and shaped broad based ears with typical forward tilt and neatly rounded tips. In profile there is quite good depth to head with a very gentle curve to brow leading to short straight nose; break could be a little more defined. Very firm strong chin and the bite not totally level being very slightly undershot - he is noticeably teething. Moderately large eyes set well apart are of good shape with slant towards the nose and a fuller lower lid at present a pale fractionally muddy green. Firm body of fairly good weight. Nicely proportioned with straight back, marginally strong limbs and neat oval paws. Well shaped tail with rounded tip of very good length easily reaching the shoulder. Classic pattern good with minimal agouti invasion in a pleasing milky chocolate penetrating well down the hair shaft with a clear silvery ground colour. Oysters match well, clear tramlines, and butterfly a touch hazy. Clear facial markings, well ringed and barred down to the toes on the front legs, lesser as often to the back but well coloured up the hocks. Excellent clear complete rings for the full length of the tail. Short coat currently rather “baby” texture. Overall the pattern is quite impressive for the variety but ideally I would like to see improvement in the type. Excellent condition and well prepared and presented.
ASIAN TABBY [SPOTTED, CLASSIC, MACKEREL OR TICKED] KITTEN FEMALE:
1 & BOB ERGIS’ SUMERJIZ ANGELICA (72 45bq) Chocolate Ticked Tabby with BCR 4 months 1 week. Very attractive little lady of good type. Good short wide wedge and good width at jaw tapering to blunt finish at the muzzle. Gentle rounding to top between medium large broad based ears. These are nicely shaped; set well apart with rounded tips and typical forward tilt. In profile there is good depth to the head with a gentle curve to the brow leading to a well defined break, bite is level with a firm chin. Large well set and shaped pale yellow eyes with slant towards the nose and fuller lower lid giving rise to a good Burmese expression. Firm elegant body of good weight with slender limbs, straight back and oval paws. Balancing length of well shaped tail with rounded tip has a tiny soft "pip" at its end. Sleek shiny coat of very good fine close texture with an even ticked pattern in warm milky chocolate with a very pale brown ground colour. Two bands of colour the second of which is very faint but just discernable. Light typical markings to the extremities with a scarab to the head. Very slightly darker colour to the spine down to the tail tip. Excellent temperament, comfortably presented a promising exhibit.
2 KENNY’S ELANAY ANASTACIA BROWN (72 45q) Brown Ticked Tabby with BCR 5 months 1 week. Happy little person who delighted in being handled (and cuddled) of somewhat average type. Slightly long narrow head with fair width to the wedge and at the jaw tapering to a fine rather than blunt muzzle. Gentle rounding to top with further width needed between rather large ears set and held a touch high. However they are broad based of good shape with nicely rounded tips and forward tilt. In profile the head has good depth with a gentle curve to the brow leading to a reasonably good break. Nose is straight a touch long with a good level bite, chin is in line to nose tip but is marginally shallow. Pale yellow eyes are set well, moderately large in size of good shape with slant to the nose and fuller lower lid. Body has good weight and the muscle is developing but at present is rather long with proportionately long limbs and elegant oval paws. Back is straight with a balancing length of well shaped tail with rounded tip. Coat close and quite short of fine texture with a beautifully even ticked pattern showing clearing two bands in a pleasing warm seal brown with creamy beige ground colour. Light markings to the extremities with darker colour down the spine to matching colour on the tail tip. Excellent nature and well presented.
BROWN BURMESE KITTEN:
1 & BOB BEWLEY’S JANAMEL RAH MATI (27) Brown male neuter 8 months 2 weeks. Well grown strong boy with a super purring nature. Gentle rounding to top between medium large ears set well apart which are broad based with neat rounded tips and slight forward tilt. Wide wedge of good short length with good width at cheeks tapering to a blunt finish at the muzzle. Just a slight narrowing at the jaw which needs to fill out. In profile the head has good depth with a gentle curve to the brow leading to a quite well defined break. Nose is straight and fairly short with level bite. Chin marginally shallow and slightly set back. Moderately large expressive eye set well apart of medium golden yellow with slant towards nose and fuller lower lid. Strong weighty and firmly muscled body of good proportions and excellent development for age. Slender limbs, rounded chest with straight back and neat oval paws. Well shaped tail with rounded tip reaching to shoulder. Sleek coat of rich seal brown clear and even in tone; close lying, fine textured and gleaming with health. I noted a few odd pale hairs on the back of the neck - possibly the site of an injection or the result of rough "kitten" play. Beautifully presented.
AOC TORTOISESHELL BURMESE KITTEN:
1 & BOB GREET’S JANAMEL ROTARA RIPLE (27h) Chocolate Tortie female 8 months 2 weeks. Young lady happily purring and trilling throughout her handling.

Firm muscle, rounded chest and straight back, slender elegant limbs and oval paws with tail of good shape with rounded tip just to the shoulder. Shiny close lying and fine textured coat of medium milky chocolate which is broken and mingled with varying shades of red. Slightly darker chocolate to the mask. There was a suspicious pale patch to the middle of the lower chest and to some hair under the chin, but due to the hall light and that she was tortie and not self, this was give the benefit of the doubt as to it being white. This opinion (and decision) was supported and confirmed by two senior judges. Excellent condition and presentation.
AC ORIENTAL CHAMPION ADULT MALE:
I & GR CH to BODDY'S UK & IGRCH EDINGORSE CHARLEMAGNE (37d) male 4 years 7 months. Gorgeous boy ticks all the boxes I just wish that his chin was stronger and not such an apology.

FOREIGN GRAND CHAMPION, MALE
1 IGC BULL’S GR CH ADCINSH SOLITAIRES WISH, 76B30, M, 11.1.2005
A handsome, muscular male who was alert and friendly. Broad, medium wedge with rounded contours and high cheek bones. Medium ears that were wide at the base and set well. Gentle curve to the profile and the nose was large and broad with a slightly puffed leather. Full, broad muzzle and pronounced whisker pads. Thick neck. The eyes were oval shaped and set at a slight slant. Excellent blue. Long, sleek body with strong legs and a reasonably thick tail that tapered towards the end. Excellent coat quality, it was short, very dense and soft with a lovely feel to it. Creamy ivory ground with light brown markings. There was the effect of pearl dusting. Well presented in excellent condition and with an excellent temperament too.
2 HEDGES’ GR CH KALUKIKATZ AMARILLO, 76 30, M, 1.3.2005
This was a large, muscular cat but he was pacing and rather noisy. He had good type but his coat was not in good condition, it felt rather sticky and resilient rather than “unusually soft” as required by the SOP. The head was good but I would like a stronger chin and the muzzle needed more breadth for balance. The ears were small and set very well. Good eyes for shape, set and expression. Muscular and sleek with good legs and a thick tail. The coat was of medium length, resilient and rather coarse on the back. Heavy ticking which also blurred the markings. Cool tone to the coat.
FOREIGN GRAND CHAMPION, FEMALE
1 IGC RILEY-JONES’ GR CH BAMBINO SHADOWDANCER, 76 30, F, 25.6.2002
A very attractive and balanced female of excellent type. Lovely head type with the look of a wild cat but a confident and friendly personality. Well placed neat ears. Very good profile and high cheeks. Full muzzle and good chin. Long, sleek body with solid muscle tone. Strong legs and a good tail. The coat was of excellent quality; it was short, really dense, soft in texture and rich in colour with really well defined spots and markings. A pleasure to judge and well worthy of this high award.

They were very wide at the base and rounded at the tips. Short ear muffs at the base. Strong muzzle, whisker break and good chin. The skull appeared flat between the ears. Large eyes, set wide. They were oval shaped with a slope to the outer edge of the ears. Slender neck and excellent head carriage. Hard, muscular body that was of medium length with a broad chest. Slim legs and neat oval paws. The tail was a little short for perfect balance but as it is only 5% of the weighting, I felt his type, coat and expression deserved his placing. Superb coat that was short, dense and soft to the touch with deep waving all over. Excellent condition and temperament.
RES: FRICKER’S PR FRIXYLINE DUNLAUGHIN, 33A30S, MN, 13.3.2007

Expressive eyes. Slender neck. Excellent body, legs and tail. Good coat with dense waving but it was not as soft nor as outstanding as the winner’s but he ran him close!

1 GPR ARNOLD’S UK IMP GR CH & GR PR PAPAVER CRESSIDA, 33 31S, FN, 30.4.1998

A mature Bengal with a wild exotic look. Excellent type and balance overall. He was just a magnificent cat with the most calm, relaxed and confident temperament. When a Bengal is of this quality and has the temperament to match, they are extremely hard to beat!

Sadly the coat, medium in length, was resilient rather than unusually soft in texture and very ticked with the agouti invading the markings. Shown in excellent condition and with a friendly temperament.

My thanks to that wonderful team of show managers, Elaine, Lisa and not forgetting John-for inviting me to judge at this year’s show! Organisation was superb, delicious lunch-special mention for the yummy Eton Mess cheesecake for dessert-and a very friendly atmosphere in the show hall with some lovely cats to assess. I was very ably assisted in all this by Sarah Sellman who was her usual, very competent self-handling the cats with the utmost care and consideration. My grateful thanks Sarah and best of luck on the stewarding scheme!

Body of good weight for size feeling firm and muscular-just a touch plump around the midline. Tail of good shape though appeared a little short to balance- but that may have been due to the rather rotund tummy! Very nice coat-I would have preferred it to be a touch closer lying for perfection. Presented in excellent condition and very easy to handle-she just oozed quality and it was a pleasure to award her a PC. I understand this made her up to Premier today. Many congratulations indeed to her breeder and owner!!

ASIAN SMOKE OR BURMILLA KITTEN MALE. 1 entered. 1 & BOB ERGIS’S SUMERJIZ ISAAC (72 42q) Brown Smoke. M. 28.10.08. Happy, confident young lad and well grown for age. Body has a nice muscular feel with good weight for size. Straight back, gently rounded chest and slender legs ending in neat, oval shaped paws. Tail of good shape tapering gently to a paintbrush tip and of good length as the tail when brought gently around the side of the body reaches the shoulder. Head forms a balanced short wedge with good width at the cheek bones. Ears follow the angle of the wedge and are medium/large in size, broad at the base, rounded at the tips. There is good width between them and top of head is gently rounded. When viewed from the side they have the desired slight forward tilt. Also in profile there is a reasonably good nose break, straight nose and level chin. Chartreuse coloured eyes are large and lustrous with the top line forming a slight curve towards the nose and the lower line being more full and rounded. Coat is reasonably short, fine and close lying though still has a slight kittenish texture. Very nice brown smoke coat with a warm brown mantle over a silver base coat and the silver extends to just over a third up the length of the hair shaft. Smoking very even over the body with faint clown markings on the face. Presented in excellent condition and easy to handle. A nice young lad.

ASIAN SMOKE OR BURMILLA KITTEN FEMALE. 2 entered. 1 KENNY’S ARABOTH SAPPHIRINE (72 43s) Black Silver Shaded Burmilla. F. 14.11.08. Another very happy young lady enjoying her day out. Well grown for age feeling firm and muscular. Good weight for size with well proportioned body. Nice straight back, gently rounded chest, slender legs and oval shaped paws. Tail of good shape and length. Head has a short wide wedge with good width at the cheek bones. In profile there is a very good nose break, straight nose and level chin. Ears are medium in size with the correct set and shape being broad at the base, rounded at the tips and in profile have a slight forward tilt. Eyes are chartreuse in colour with a good shape having a slight curve on the top line and a fuller more rounded curve on the lower line. I would prefer them to be just slightly larger in size. Black coat over a mantle of pristine silver. Silvering is even over the body, colour slightly more intense down the spine line, smudges on the limbs and scarab and facial markings. For preference I would prefer a slightly shorter coat and more close lying however allowances were made for her young age. Presented in good condition and friendly and easy to handle. Just lost out to the boy for BOB as he had a slightly better coat and larger eyes.

2 ROBINSON’S KARESAMA SILVER SEADREAMER (72 43as) Blue Silver Shaded Burmilla. F. 10.11.08. Unfortunately this girl was rather out of sort when I judged her. I did in fact have the Duty Vet look at her as she continually held her eyes half closed. Unfortunately it was therefore not possible to fully assess her eye shape and set. Ears were medium in size, broad at the base and rounded at the tips. Good space between the ears though she was tending to hold them a little low-probably again as she was feeling sorry for herself. Head was a nice short wide wedge with good width at the cheeks. In profile there is a good nose break, straight nose and level chin. Body of good weight for size. Tail of good shape and length and balances when brought gently around to the shoulder. Coat still has that kittenish texture which is quite understandably given her tender age. Colour is a mantle of medium/dark blue with a silver undercoat. Silver is still coming through and as such is still a little uneven across the body. Blue mantle is more intense down the spine line and with pretty markings on the face. Sweet little girl who was not looking her best during judging and this unfortunately effected her placing today. Such a shame as she looked to have very nice type but unfortunately I had to take into consideration her condition and its effect on her eye shape, set and expression today. I was so pleased that she looked so much happier later in the day and look forward to meeting her on another occasion.

Tail of good length and shape ending in a paintbrush tip. Very nice coat which is short and close lying and with a lovely satin like feel. Presented in excellent condition and easy to handle. I believe she went on to have a Red Card Day and to get BIS Burmese Adult and then Overall BIS Burmese. Many congratulations indeed to her breeder and owner! 2 VIRTUE’S CH HOBBERDY HIGGLEDY PIGGLEDY (27e) F 4.2.06. Another super looking girl who was a pleasure to assess.

2 ROBERTSHAW’S FANDANGO SHADOWS FIZZYPOP (68 43ds) Red Silver Shaded Tiffanie. M 2.7.07.

Body of good size and weight feeling firm and muscular. Straight back, gently rounded chest and tail of adequate length to balance. Head has a nice short wide wedge tapering to a blunt finish at the muzzle and with good width at the cheeks. Ears are medium/large in size and follow the angle of the head with good width between them. Good shape being broad at the base, rounded at the tips and with attractive streamers. When he relaxed they showed the desired slight forward tilt. Also when viewed in profile there is a good nose break, straight though a touch long nose and level chin. Eyes are large and lustrous with the correct slight curve slanting towards the nose on the upper line with the lower being more rounded. Coat is medium long but I would have preferred it to have had more show preparation as it lacked some silkiness especially in the tummy area. However there is evidence of fringes or frills along the lower edges down the body, good breeches on the limbs, ruff around the neck and a wonderful plume of a tail. Colour is now a mantle of darker tangerine/red (still a little uneven which is typical of red silvers) and lies over a pristine silver base. Tangerine/red mantle is more intense along the tail and up the hocks. Very nice darker facial markings and scarab.

IMPERIAL CLASS PERSIAN GRPR MALE. IMP ROGERS’ GRCH & GRPR LIEBEKATA CUTABOVE THEREST. I see from my records that I have handled this magnificent Black and White boy several times before. He is heading towards four years old around mid summer and still living up to his name. His head and frame are massive with the thickest of well bred bone supporting him. Very bold expressive clear eyes showing a deep pigmentation. His full free flowing coat had seen every hair attended to.

She has wonderful rounded head balance with bold clear eyes which I would have liked to see a fraction stronger in colour. She is cobby in body low to the ground on thick well developed bone.

BICOLOURED ADULT MALE. 1CC AMBERS’ TYTHERTON RALPH LAUREN. It’s hard to believe this magnificent Red and White Bicolour is just one and a half weeks into adulthood. For me he has nothing to improve on going on today’s showing. He was in full coat which had had the hand of an expert in the grooming department. His eye size is a feature showing the deepest pigmentation possible.
2nd COOKES’ HOITYTOITY WINSTON. It was unfortunate for this handsome Black and White boy to meet my winner today. He is just on 10 and a half months old with little if anything to improve on. His lovely rounded head compliments a cobby square body set on the thickest of well bred bone. Very well shown coat that was medium in length today.

His coat had a soft texture and was full with the desired plushness to make it stand out well from his body. He had good classic tabby markings, with a good biscuit ground colour. He had been well prepared for the show and had a good temperament.
2 ADAMS CH & GR PR SUZERAIN RAPHAEL (70 15) DOB 18.11.2001. A black exotic with a large bold head. He had a smoothly rounded forehead and full cheeks. His nose was short and broad with a good break. His eyes were large and round and of a good copper colour. He had small ears that were well furnished and well positioned to give a good top of head. He was a cobby lad, with a short neck between his large round head and his broad chest and shoulders. His rump was broad and his legs short and well boned as was his tail short and thick. His coat was silky soft in texture, and full and plush, so that his fur stood well away from his body. He was a good solid black to his roots, and had been well prepared for the show. He was a friendly lad, with a good temperament.
3 BUROUGHS’ OWLETTS COBWEB (70.39) please see previous report.
4 CLARKE’S CH HONEYGEM ETERNAL FLAME (70 36e) DOB 25.05.05. A nicely balanced tortie smoke girl, who had a good sized head and smoothly rounded forehead. Her teeth were rather untidy, but they seemed level and she had a firm chin. She had nice large round eyes of a good copper colour. Her small ears were well furnished, and well positioned to give a good top of head. Her coat was softly textured and dense giving it a plushness to stand away well. I thought that her coat lacked richness and would have been better if there had been more red. She was a cobby girl, with a short neck, large round head, shoulders and chest. Her legs were short and well boned, and she had a wide rump and a short thick tail. She had been well prepared for the show and had a good temperament.
5 DASHWOOD’S PETITEPAWS APOLLO (70.1) DOB. 23.05.2008. This black exotic had a good cobby balance, with a large round head, short neck, broad chest and shoulders, short well boned legs a wide rump and a thick short tail. Unfortunately his bite was undershot, and I thought his nose was too small. He had a softly textured coat, which was dense and stood well away. He had been well prepared for the show and had a good temperament.

Teeth a little untidy but his bite was acceptable. Eyes of excellent oriental shape, a touch deep and straight set - good depth & brightness of colour. Very long muscular body and neckline - stands up tall on long strong legs - good whip tail. Despite their slender elegance, and sometimes fragile appearance, Siamese, no matter what age, should always feel solid, and heavier than they look - this boy has plenty of substance and a superb feel to him. Points bright in tone, legs a touch paler. His warm white body lightly shaded over his back - contrast very good. Slightly long coat, close lying and of very good texture. A delightful boy to handle, beautifully presented, his condition excellent.

Near straight profile with a firm chin - his teeth somewhat untidy but the bite appears level. Very good oriental shape and setting to eyes of bright vivid blue. Long elegant body and neckline, long legs, tail a good whip. Rich bright red points well matched on his ears, mask and tail - legs as one would expect were somewhat paler. Warm white body, lightly shaded over his back - contrast very good. Close lying coat of very good texture. A little tense but handled well - excellent presentation.

Good strength to evenly balanced wedge head with large wide based ears of excellent set. Tiny dip to profile with a strong chin. Her bite unfortunately is marginally undershot at the moment (my main reason for with holding). Very good oriental shape and set to mid blue eyes which although bright in tone require a touch more depth and intensity. Long elegant body and neckline with long slim legs and good length whip tail. Points all well mingled, the seal rather cold in tone and the red breaks very pale apart from her ears which showed brighter red mottling. Lightly shaded body showing some warmth, her coat short, close and of very good texture. Beautifully prepared and presented.

TABBY POINT SIAMESE ADULT FEMALE.

Long slightly sharp wedge head which requires just a touch more width to balance the length. Large ears well set and with good open base. Very good straight profile but the chin needs more depth and falls back somewhat. Bite scissored over. Bright mid blue eyes, oriental in shape and set, needing a touch more depth of colour. Slender body lines, graceful neckline, long slim legs, long fine whip tail. Delicate tabby markings in lovely pale milk chocolate with a few pale red tortie breaks coming through.

CC w/h, 1 - COCKWELL'S ADSETAM ONEFORSO. (32b1) 9.7.07. Seal Tortie Point.

Strong mid length wedge head with good width between large wide based and well set ears. Small profile dip. Good chin and bite. Very good oriental shape and set to eyes showing good depth of colour but the haws were slightly up and she appeared to have sustained an injury to her right eye. Body long and firm but her tummy was very fat. Long slim legs, her tail a good whip but needs a touch more length. Points all well mingled in very dark seal brown and shades of red. Body shows light tortie shading, her coat a touch long but close lying and of good texture. I did ask the Duty Vet's opinion regarding the eye injury (which he confirmed was a small tear to the haw), and the fat tummy which, despite much conjecture, in his opinion was not due to a pregnancy.

Straight profile and firm chin, bite rather untidy but acceptable.Long and slender but firm toned body, long elegant legs and neat spoon paws, fine long whip to balance. The pattern good balance between the Shaded and the Tortie,however my reason for withholding the certificate, per SOP, is that the undercoat clearly shows levels of ticking.Her coat was short and gleaming and well prepared.Shame about the pattern problem – her type is lovely.
