The Best of Variety Foreign Adult, Supreme
Adult & Supreme Exhibit was Supreme UK &
Imperial Grand Champion Grizabella Ohbladi Ohblada,
a Black Smoke Devon Rex Female owned by Mr & Mrs
J A Boucher and bred by Mrs I Challis
Born in February 2003, `Molly' lives,
mostly peacefully, with six other Devons, She is very
much alpha female and keeps the others in their places,
with the exception of Heather's Black & White girl
Tilly. They have the occasional face off regarding pole
position. Molly has had three litters of kittens and
hopefully will have a fourth sometime in Summer 2007
She has always loved going to shows and
seems to know the big occasion, performing beautifully
for the audience. She gives judges the look which says
`I know I'm the best, so I dare you to disagree with
me.' - It has certainly paid off!

The Best of Variety Siamese Kitten &
Supreme Kitten was Drestothril Dancelot, a Seal
Tortie Point Siamese Female, owned and bred by Christina
Knowlson
Dancelot was a love child. Champion Drestothril
Dambuster, Christina's Red Point, opened her door one
night whilst she was asleep and mated Imperial Grand
Champion Drestothril Daddysgirl - totally unplanned.The
result was this lovely litter of five Seal and Tortie
Points Christina kept Dancelot and her sister Silk Drawers.
(Dambuster has such a loving gentle nature so he still
lives in the house rather than in a stud chalet...Hopefully
his spraying will not get too much out of hand!)
|
| Dancelot is enchanting . She had been exhibited at two
previous shows but nothing could prepare her for the hustle
bustle of the Supreme.First there was the class judging
where she won Best of Breed, then the afternoon judging
for Best of Variety before she was placed in her Best
in Show pen as Best of Variety Siamese Kitten to be judged
by the panel for Supreme Kitten. |
|
|
|
Christina will never forget her elation when her win
was announced over the tannoy. Itwas totally unexpected.Christina
was doing last minute shopping at the surrounding stands
not even watching the stage when the result was announced.
Dancelot is the second of Christina's Siamese to be awarded
Supreme Kitten, the first being Drestothril Demelza in
2001. |

The Best of Variety Burmese Neuter &
Supreme Neuter was Supreme UK & Imperial Grand
Premier Chiaro Cioccolata a Chocolate Burmese Female
Neuter owned and bred by Penny Akehurst

idea why, but it suited her), she started her winning
as a kitten but at 10 months was diagnosed with PKD,
one of the first Burmese in the UK to be diagnosed.
She won her first CC at a year old, but was then neutered.
|
|
|
Once she came back out on the show bench
as a neuter, she has hardly looked back,rarely being
beaten for Best of Breed and winning all her attempts
at the Grand Premier, (except when she was beaten
by her Grannie) and all but two of her nine attempts
at Imperial. She has never had a Reserve Imperial,
it was always all or nothing!

of Variety Semi-Longhair Kitten was Namrib Sandy
a Cream Point Birman Male, owned by Mandy Davies and bred
by Heather Horton
Kasper to his friends is just like any other kitten.
He enjoys playing with Amber (a red and white Norwegian
Forest / Birman youngster ). He also shares his life
with 14 year old Smokey Blue and 9 year old Rascal.
One of his favourite past-times is unravelling a full
toilet roll across the landing upstairs - if only the
Andrex puppy knew about it ! He does enjoy wrestling
Amber in the bath which is very noisy. He also likes
watching the birds through the window and chirrups to
them.
|
 |
 |
He loves his one slave, Mandy's husband Karl, and generously
cleans his feet most evenings YUK !! Kasper loves bed-time
and usually finds room under the duvet.
He is a very happy chap and loves everything and everyone.
He even enjoys a bath and being brushed for his very
important show career. He is such a pleasure to own
and would like to thank his breeder Heather and my friend
Jen for making this dream come true.
