Open Classes:

Class 406 Brown Burmese Kitten

1^st & BoB Mrs Cook’s EGLINTON EROL BROWN 27 M 14-07-2009

A rather lively character. He has medium-large eyes which have pleasing definition to the upper lids and would benefit from greater fullness to lower lids, they are set very well. They are golden yellow in colour at present. Face on he has a short wide wedge which is a little pinched at present. He has a level bite and appears to be teething. He has gentle rounding between his ears which are set very well apart; they balance well at present; they are wide in the base and having rounded tips. His profile shows medium depth to his skull. He has gentle rounding to his brow. He has a pleasing nose break and his nose line is interrupted by a small bump, his lower jaw is really too shallow and is also somewhat set back which disturbs the balance of his chin when viewed face on. His body has good weight for his size, which is currently a little smaller than I would expect for his age. He has a straight back and a strong chest. His stance shows correctly taller hind legs which were slender and elegant. He has large oval paws. His tail balances and tapers very well to a paint brush tip, it was a little whippy though. His coat has a somewhat coarse texture and appears to be a little ticked in places – hopefully this will grow out. It is light tone brown at present and he does have some bars to all four legs. He was shown in otherwise excellent condition. He was very confident but quite the wriggler.

Class 409a Lilac Kitten Male

1^st & BoB Miss Campbell’s MICIASALI YOSHUA 27c M 23-08-2009

Super expression on this sweet youngster. He has large and lustrous eyes which have excellent definition to the upper lids and super fullness to lower lids and are set very well. They are pale yellow in colour in this show hall. Face on he has a short wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle. He has a level bite but his gums looked a little swollen. He has lovely rounding between his ears; they are a little out of balance at present being a somewhat too large for his head but I’m sure his head will catch up soon; they are wide in the base and have rounded tips. His profile shows good depth to his skull. He has good rounding to his brow. He has a well defined nose break and a straight nose line, whilst his lower jaw has good depth I would like a little more for absolute perfection his chin could benefit from this. It is correctly aligned to the end of his nose in a straight vertical plane. His long body has good weight for his size and excellent muscle tone. He has a straight back and a strong chest. His stance shows correctly taller hind legs which were slender and elegant. He has neat oval paws. His tail balances and tapers very well to a paint brush tip from a medium base. His coat has a super fine texture and satin like feel to it although it was a little bit kitten-long at present but lies very close to his body. It is mid toned lilac with slight pink casting in the show lighting. He was shown in excellent condition. He was very confident and seemed to enjoy being handled today – a charming young man.

An extremely attractive young lady with a superb expression. Large & lustrous eyes set well apart with correct shape, pleasing slants to upper lids and generous rounding to her lower lids. They are golden yellow in colour. Face on showing a short wide wedge which tapers to a pleasing blunt muzzle. She has a level bite. She has gentle rounding between her ears which were set well apart, they are a very good size, wide at the base with rounded tips. In profile she has quite good depth to her skull, a rounded brow; her nose break has very good definition, straight nose line and rather short. Her lower jaw has quite good depth and is correctly aligned to the end of her nose, her chin has quite good depth. She has a medium sized body, with very good weight and muscle tone, a strong chest and a straight back. Her legs are nicely in proportion to her body having taller hind legs and neat oval shaped paws. Her tail balances and tapers well from a medium base. Her Burmese colour restriction chocolate is very warm over her pristine silver ground, her mantle of shading descends down her flanks well. She has clear thumb prints to her ears, an M to her forehead, a scarab and a rather faint necklace. She has good solid hocks to her hind legs and showing a diffused spine line along her back but having solid tail tip. Her coat felt like silk to the touch and was of medium length and very close lying to her body, she has attractive ear streamers, a minimal ruff and toe tufts with a fringe to her carriage. She was shown superb condition and behaved very well in fact she has quite a charming relaxed nature and was a pleasure to meet.

2^nd Mrs Hamilton’s CH INYANGA RAFAEL 68 43sq M 17-04-2008 BCR Brown Silver Shaded Tiffanie

A lovely lad who is well grown. Large & lustrous eyes set well apart with correct shape, pleasing slants to upper lids but a tendency to hood them over a trifle and very generous rounding to her lower lids. They are pale chartreuse in colour and have super rims which extra definition. Face on showing a short and very wide wedge which tapers to a pleasing blunt muzzle. He has a level bite. He has super rounding between his ears which were set very well apart, for me they are a just a little bit small for his head, though wide in the base with rounded tips. In profile he has reasonably good depth to his skull, a pleasing rounded brow; a good nose break, straight nose line. His lower jaw has reasonable depth but I would prefer greater depth for perfection and is set back slightly, weakening his chin a trifle. He has a large, well grown body with very good weight and muscle tone, a strong chest and a straight back. His legs are in proportion to his body having taller hind legs and spoon shaped paws. His tail balances and tapers well from a slightly thick base. His Burmese colour restriction brown shading was a little cool in tone over an immaculate silver ground but his very lightly shaded mantle descended down his flanks well. He has thumb prints to his ears, an M to his forehead, a scarab, spectacle marks and a necklace. He has good solid hocks to his hind legs and showing a diffused spine line along his back but having solid tail tip. His coat felt pleasingly silky to the touch and was of medium length and it was a trifle thick in undercoat at present but he had excellent ear streamers, a pleasing ruff and toe tufts with a flowing fringe to his carriage. He was shown superb condition and behaved very well. A pleasure to handle!

3^rd Messers Robertson & Richardson’s GRCH ESANES ETOURDISSANT 76 20 F 22-04-2008

Beautiful girl just a trifle tense.

Class 686 AV Foreign Limit Adult

1^st Ms Mather’s MAKIMA DESERT ROSE 23 F 03-10-2008

A very attract girl with lovely muscle tone and shown in super condition. Lovely balanced head with pleasing golden yellow eyes, good for set and shape. Level bite though missing a few incisors. Ears also set well and she has a nice profile. Elegant body and limbs, her tail balances well. Super ticking, very clear and distinct banding. Pleasing markings to head no necklace and very pleasing usual colours with excellent drag to her coat. Handled very well.

2^nd Mr & Mrs Miskelly’s KOPERKAT LIPSTICK JUNGLE 23a F 05-03-2009

Another pleasing girl with such a sweet face! Super expression across her eyes though head seemed to lack depth a tad at present. She has a nicely grown body for her age with slender elegant limbs and tail to balance. Her ticking was less distinct than I had hoped for but was a super rich sorrel colour. Pleasing coat but lacking drag at present. She had a super temperament – I could have wasted hours playing with her – will watch her development with interest.

3^rd Ms Minto’s ACCLAIM MINTANDER NEAVE 77 M 28-07-2008 – nice lad but rather straight in profile.

Class 701 AV Foreign Assessment Kitten

1^st Miss Johnson’s CAIRNICATS EBONY 16a15 F 08-08-2009

Sweet baby girl. She had a nice broad wedge and nicely shaped eyes, in profile her head could take more profile dip for my preference. She had nicely set ears that are appropriate in size for her age. Her jet black coat was rather close lying and a trifle long. She handled very nicely

2^nd Mrs Fullard’s CAIRNICATS ZIGGY 16a15 M 08-08-2009

Unfortunately this young man was a tad upset today. I felt he lacked width in the muzzle giving him a somewhat fine look and had a rather straight profile, possible due to his mood his eye set did not please, neither did he hold his ears well. Again his jet back coat was rather close lying at present.

Class 716 AV Foreign Assessment Neuter

1^st Mrs Stewart’s WAKANDA CHASKA 80L17 MN 24-03-2006

A very charming exhibit. Super depth to head, good nose break, large and expressive pale lemon yellow eyes. Super well grown body and strong limbs and tail to balance. Coat had excellent length, super texture and was very well presented. A bit of a character I suspect!

2^nd Mr & Mrs Lucas’ ADATESH TAIGA 83aw FN 26-09-2007

This exhibit had delightful bright but deep blue eyes that positively sparkled. She has a nicely grown body and tail to balance. Her coat was good for texture and length and her darker blue areas around her plume and tail were set off well against her pristine white undercoat. Unfortunately the marks to her face were not quite in balance and let her down a trifle.

Class 719 AV Foreign Maiden Neuter

1^st Mrs Robertson’s ABYGLEN ANYLA 23c 17-08-2004

She has a very pleasing head with a lovely broad muzzle, pale golden yellow eyes which were set well and had good shape. Her body was very well gown and her tail was a tad short to balance. Her ticking was a tad diffuse, but her facial markings were very pleasing. She was rather shy today and preferred to be handled in her pen.

Class 723 AV Foreign Junior Neuter

1^st Mrs Sinclair’s CLOUDBORN KITERUNNER 33a 30d MN 01-04-2008

A rather cheeky face to this exhibit. Good width at cheeks and reasonable stop, chin could take wee bit more depth for perfection. Super expression to his eyes – very wicked! Level bite. His body was a trifle long but had good muscle tone and ample coverage, but his coat lacked enough resistance to me – a trifle soft. Tail just short to balance but lovely slender elegant limbs. Handled nicely and was well presented.

2^nd Mr & Mrs Blair’s INYANGA CALVIN 72 43asq MN 16-02-2008 BCR Blue Silver Shaded Asian Shorthair

A well grown youngster who is not long adult. Large & lustrous eyes set well apart with correct shape, correct slants to upper lids but somewhat hooded and very generous rounding to his lower lids. They are golden yellow in colour. Face on showing a short wide wedge tapering to a blunt muzzle. He had a level bite. He has a rather flat top of head his ears are set well apart as they might on his rather narrow head, they are a little too large in size as yet, wide at the base, with rounded tips. In profile he has reasonable depth to his skull, with a flat brow; his nose break was acceptable but I would prefer more definition, he has a straight nose which is a trifle long. His lower jaw has reasonable depth but I would prefer it to be deeper and was receding all in all weakening his chin. He has a long somewhat rangy body, a strong chest and a straight back, his legs in proportion to his body having taller hind legs and oval paws. His tail balances and tapered well from a medium base to a paint brush tip. His BCR blue, heavily shaded mantle was rather cool in tone, it covered his flanks well and his ground colour was a pristine silver. He has thumb prints to his ears, a scarab to his head and an M to the forehead, spectacle lines and a broken necklace. He has smudges to his inner fore legs, a strong hocks to his hind legs and clear spine line descending well down his tail. His coat felt like silk to the touch and was a trifle longer in length than preferred, but is very close lying to his body. Shown in excellent condition and was little upset but manageable.

Class 724 AV Foreign Senior Neuter – A very strong and Impressive Class, thank you for entering!

1^st Mrs Fleming’s UK & IGRPR SHOELINA ZELENSKY 16a MN 09-05-2006

Just superb; I understand he went on to become Overall BOV Foreign – well done! He has a very strong head which simply screamed Russian type to me, super shaped olive green eyes, board muzzle with nicely displayed whisker pads, pleasing dip in profile, well set expressive ears. He had a level bite. Super coat which clearly maintained the imprint of my hand, which was most impressive to see. Well grown body with appropriately strong limbs and tail to balance. He handled well and was a pleasure to meet today!

2^nd Mr & Mrs MacDougall’s ABYGLEN ALESHIA 23 FN 21-10-2007

Another super exhibit! Lovely broad head, with large yet expressive eyes, nice profile and large ears. Super distinct ticking to her coat with good drag to it and super facial markings. Very pleasing colours to this usual girl. Elegant body and limbs tail to balance. She was a little worried and trifle upset but handled well. A very pleasing example of her breed and unlucky to meet the winner today.

3^rd Mrs Lane’s INYNAGA CHARUDUTTA 72 43asq MN 02-10-2007 BCR Blue Silver Shaded Asian Shorthair

A nicely developed adult. Reasonably large & lustrous eyes set well apart with good shape, correct slants to upper lids and nice rounding to lower lids. They are chartreuse in colour. Face on showing a short wide wedge tapering to a blunt muzzle. He had a messy bite. He has gentle rounding between his ears which were set well apart, they are good for size, wide at the base, with rounded tips. In profile he has reasonably good depth to his skull, a rounded brow; his nose break could take more definition for my preference, he has a straight nose line. His lower jaw has reasonably good depth and is correctly aligned in a straight plane to the end of his nose, his chin has some strength and firmness. He has a solid reasonably large sized body, a strong chest and a straight back, his legs are nicely in proportion having taller hind legs and oval paws. His tail was just short to balance but tapered well from a medium base to a paint brush tip. His BCR blue was a trifle cool in the show lighting but the mantle of medium shading descend well down his sides and was set against a clear silver ground. He has thumb prints to his ears, a scarab to his head and an M to the forehead, spectacle lines and a broken necklace. He has lots of stripes to his fore and rear legs, good colour ascending up his hocks and rings to the lower end of his tail which did have a solid tip. His coat is close lying and is of slightly longer in length than preferred but has a good silky texture. He was shown in excellent condition with a awful lot to tell me!

Class 728 AC Burmese Self Adult

1^st Mrs Ferguson’s CH TEAROHA AUGUSTUS BROWN 27 M 21-07-2008

Bit of a sleepy chap! He has quite large and lustrous eyes which have pleasing definition to the upper lids and adequate fullness to his lower lids and are set well. They are pale chartreuse in colour today. Face on he has a short reasonably wide wedge which tapers to a blunt finish. He has a level bite. He has gentle rounding between his ears and they balance his head; they are wide in the base and have rounded tips. His profile shows reasonably good depth to his skull. He has gentle rounding to his brow. He has a defined nose break but his nose line is interrupted by a small bump, whilst his lower jaw has reasonable depth I would like more for perfection; his chin would benefit from this greatly. It is correctly aligned to the end of his nose in a straight vertical plane. His long body has good weight for his size and excellent muscle tone. He has a straight back and a strong chest. His stance shows correctly taller hind legs which were slender and elegant. He has oval paws. His tail balances and tapers very well to a paint brush tip from a medium base. His coat has a fine texture and lies very close to his body being reasonably short. It is warm brown with some pleasing chestnut tone in the show hall today with a few smudges to his legs. He was shown in super condition and well prepared. He handled very well and didn’t mind being woken up at all.

2^nd Messers Kennedy & Waddington’s BEECHBANK VISCOUNT 27f M 23-04-2008

What a chatterbox and a bit of daft lad! He has medium-large eyes which have good definition to the upper lids yet needs much more fullness to the lower lids, they are set as well apart on his head which for me lacks width. They are pale golden in colour in this hall. Face on he has a reasonably short wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle. He has a level bite. He has reasonable rounding between his ears; they are a little out of balance at present being somewhat too small for his head; they are wide in the base and have rounded tips. His profile shows reasonable depth to his skull. He has very gentle rounding to his brow. His nose break could take more definition and has a straight nose line, his lower jaw lacks depth; I would like a much more for perfection thus consequently his chin could benefit from this too. It is correctly aligned to the end of his nose in a straight vertical plane. His body has good weight for his size and pleasing muscle tone. He has a straight back and a strong chest. His stance shows correctly taller hind legs. He has oval paws. His tail only just balances and tapers very well from a rather thick base. His coat has a rather coarse texture today yet is quite short but did not lie close to his body. It is quite a pale cream with nice powdering to the back of his head with a few residue markings to his head yet otherwise quite clear. He was shown in good condition. He was a huge, larger than life personality and I bet he is a really joy to indulge!

Class 730 AC Burmese Breeder’ Adult

1^st Mrs Coulter’s CH JACOU UNIQUE ULTRAVIOLET 27j F 13-02-2008

Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs which were dainty and elegant. She has neat oval paws. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a rounded end from a medium base.

Class 731 AC Burmese Non-Breeder’s Adult

1^st Mrs Coulter’s CATMARIAN MISTERBOJANGLES 27a M 03-02-3006

Another chap who seems to prefers to sleep the day away under his blankets and was rather uncooperative. He has medium eyes which have hooded upper lids and need much more fullness to the lower lids and the bridge between them is far too prominent and rather coarse for my taste. They are muddy chartreuse in colour in the hall. Face on he has a medium length wedge which looked fine in the muzzle especially as his is rather jowly. He was not prepared to let me examine his bite today. He has reasonable rounding between his ears; they are a little out of balance being a somewhat too large for his rather narrow head; they are wide in the base and having rounded tips. His profile lacks depth to his skull. He has a very gently rounded brow. He has an exceptionally well defined nose break and a straight nose line which was too long, his lower jaw has barely acceptable depth and really requires much more, yet it is correctly aligned to the end of his nose in a straight vertical plane. His lean body has good weight for his size and excellent muscle tone yet not a hint of any fat. He has a straight back and a strong chest. He would not stand for us. He has oval paws. He was too upset to assess his tail properly. His coat has a fine texture and rather short. It is medium toned but and did have some pleasing silvering to it. He was too upset do himself any justice today.

Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs which were slender and elegant. She has neat oval paws. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a paint brush from a medium base. Her coat has a super satin like feel to it and is short and close lying. It is a pleasing warm tone chocolate mingled nicely with various shades of red, shown in excellent condition. She is a confident girl who is very sweet and gentle though maybe experiencing her first call today judging by her behaviour - I really enjoyed handling her today and could have wasted lots of time with her.

Rather a pretty girl and very sweet with it. She has a very gentle nature and was very relaxed with my steward and enjoyed a big cuddle. She did purr for us. Excellent presentation – pristine show blanket and very well prepared – coat gleaming with health, lovely soft texture and immaculately clean. She is lovely lilac cat of Burmese type. Shown in excellent health and condition. She was really quite charming to us so thoroughly deserved her awards today!

Miscellaneous Classes:

Class 650 AV Foreign Visitor’s Adult

1^st Messers Crow & Goss’s CH KAGURA KATISHA 72 45q F 23-11-2005

An extremely attractive exhibit. Large & lustrous eyes set well apart with correct shape, correct slants to upper lids and generous rounding to her lower lids. They are pale chartreuse in colour. They really had superb expression. Face on showing a short wide wedge tapering to a blunt muzzle. She had level gums really. She has gentle rounding between her ears which were set well apart, they are good for size, wide at the base, with rounded tips. In profile she has good depth to her skull, rounded brow; her nose break has good definition, straight nose line and rather short. Her lower jaw has excellent depth and is correctly aligned in a straight plane to the end of her nose, her chin has strength and firmness. She has a solid medium sized body, a strong chest and a straight back, her legs are nicely in proportion to her body having taller hind legs and neat oval paws. Her tail was just short to balance but tapered well from a medium base to a paint brush tip. Her warm BCR brown ticking is very distinct over her pale beige ground. She has thumb prints to her ears, a scarab to her head and an M to the forehead, spectacle lines and a broken necklace. She has stripes to her inner fore legs, a strong hocks to her hind legs and several rings to her tail. Her coat felt like the finest silk to the touch and was of slightly longer length than preferred, but is very close lying to her body. Shown in excellent condition, with some spirit but is just adorable. A real pleasure to meet such a lovely ticked tabby.

2^nd Mrs Ward’s HUGGIBEAR AUTUMN PROMIS 68 45 F 19-09-2008

A really very sweet youngster who was very sleepy. She has quite large & lustrous eyes which I would prefer to be a tad larger for absolute perfection they are set well apart with correct shape, nice slants to upper lids and rather generous rounding to her lower lids. They are chartreuse in colour with super black eye liner. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle which I would like fractionally broader. She has a level bite. She has gentle rounding between her ears which were set well apart, they are good for size, wide at the base, with rounded tips. In profile she has reasonably good depth to her skull, a nicely rounded brow; her nose break has good definition, her short straight nose line has a tiny bump. Her lower jaw has reasonable depth which aligns in a vertical plane to the end of her nose, her chin has adequate depth but would benefit from more. She has a medium body, with very pleasing weight for her size, a strong chest and a straight back, her legs are nicely in proportion to her body having taller hind legs and spoon shaped paws. Her tail was just short to balance but tapered well from a medium base to a paint brush tip. Her full expression black ticking is distinct over her rich coppery bronzed ground. She has clear thumb prints to her ears, a scarab to her head and an M to the forehead, spectacles which were very fetching against the intense rufus colouration on her face. She has a faint necklace plentiful fine stripes to all of her legs, clear hocks to her hind legs and defined spine line running down to a solid tip on her tail. Her coat has good semi longhair length yet feels like there was still a fraction too much undercoat; a rather immature coat still with nice streamers to her ears and toe tufts beginning to emerge. Shown is excellent condition and behaved very well – a delightful youngster with a pleasing expression.

A rather super looking young Russian. Excellent ear set and pleasing head type. Lovely green eyes have good shape and corners point correctly to the ears. Nice profile with lower profile dip giving the wedge a pleasing balance. She has strong prominent wisher pads. Her coat was trifle sot at present but she is still young, it was mid tone blue with a pleasing silvery sheen to it. Very promising youngster.

2^nd Mrs O’Dowd’s YAHTO OHANZEE 84 16 M 10-06-2009

Please head type, prominent cheek bones and a distinctive whisker break on prominent whisker pads. Slightly round top and lovely large hears. Super lemon shaped eyes of glorious golden colour.

1^st Miss Stretton CHARNFIELD CHEECHAQUA 33a 40 1 FN 31-10-2008

Love Si-Rex girl who handle very nicely and enjoyed a cuddle from my steward. Lovely large ear, flat top of head, large blue eye that could take a more defined line to the upper lids. Reasonable width at the cheeks but would prefer a little more for perfection, good nose break but not quite a stop, muzzle could also take more width for balance though she has good depth of chin but bite was messy. Lovely solid muscular body yet still managing elegance. Pleasing covering of rex coat and quite the charming you lady who purred away for us. Schmoozer!

She has good rounding to her brow. She has a reasonably well defined nose break and an essentially straight nose line with a marginal falling away towards the end. Whilst her lower jaw has reasonably good depth I would prefer a little more for perfection her chin accordingly is fractionally lacking in depth. It appeared fractionally set back today. Her head type is generally very pleasing and it must be born in mind she is still a work in progress being a relatively young adult. Her body has good weight for her size and is nicely balanced. She has a straight back and strong chest. Her stance shows taller hind legs which were dainty and elegant. She has lovely spoon shaped paws. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a rounded finish from a medium base. Her coat is short and feels like satin.

Class 688 AC Burmese Debutante Kitten

1^st Messers Crow & Goss KAGURA ATHENA 27b F 31-05-2009

Generally a balanced exhibit. She has large and lustrous eyes which have good definition to the upper lids and fullness to lower lids and are set very well – at times she was hold them a little tight but when she relaxed they had a very pleasing expression. They are muddy golden yellow in colour in this show hall. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle. She has a level bite but her gums looked a little sore which appeared to be the onset of teething. She has lovely rounding between her ears which are set very well apart; they are nicely balanced; wide in the base and having rounded tips. Her profile shows good depth to her skull. She has good rounding to her brow. Her nose break was possibly effected by her teething as it appear to be swollen and lacking in definition today, she has a straight nose line, whilst her lower jaw has good depth I would like a little more for absolute perfection which would given her chin a tad more depth too. It is correctly aligned to the end of her nose in a straight vertical plane. Her body has good weight for her size and is nicely balanced. She has a straight back and a strong chest. Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs which were dainty and elegant. She has neat oval paws. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a paint brush finish from a medium base.

2^nd Mrs C Stalker VINTARN ANGEL DELIGHT 27b F 08-07-2009

A little unsure of herself today. She has large and lustrous eyes which have pleasing definition to the upper lids, good fullness to lower lids and are set very well. They are golden yellow in colour in the show light. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle, which she was holding a tad square today. She has a level bite but bless her gums did look very sore – most definitely teething and everything on the move. She has lovely rounding between her ears which are set very well apart; they are nicely balanced; wide in the base and having rounded tips. In profile I wanted more depth to her skull which appeared to have medium depth. She has good rounding to her brow but it was a touch long. Her nose break was suffering from the effects of her teething and was rather lacking in definition and a straight nose line with a roll off. Her lower jaw has acceptable depth but I would like a lot more for perfection and to give her chin enough fullness. It was set back a trifle today. Her body has good weight for her medium size and is nicely balanced. She has a straight back and a strong chest. Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs which were slender and elegant. She has neat oval paws. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a paint brush tip from a medium base. Her coat is reasonably short, lies close to her body and has good texture. In the show lighting her coat was a tad too pale a chocolate for me and it made the contrast with her mask and extremities rather too pronounced. She was shown is excellent condition. She was a little shy today but handled nicely and enjoyed a cuddle from my steward!

Class 695 AC Burmese Breeder’s Neuter

1^st Miss Herrington’s PR SUGARBOWL HUNKYDORY 27c FN 05-07-2007

A mature looking exhibit. Large and lustrous eyes they have the correct shape but she does rather hood the upper lids in a less than attractive manner which detracts from her expression. They are chartreuse in colour. Face on she has a very short, wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle and she has a level bite. She has a gently rounded top of head and correct well set ears of pleasing proportions with wide bases and rounded tips. In profile she has reasonably good depth to her skull, slightly flatter brow than desired, a defined nose break. Her nose line is straight. Her jaw has reasonable depth; needing more for perfection which would give her chin the correct fullness, set in a straight plane to the end of her nose. Her medium-large sized body felt solid and muscular though I think she’s carrying a tad more condition since I last saw her, she has a straight back and a nicely rounded chest. Her limbs are proportionate to her body and were elegant having the desired stance. She has dainty spoon shaped paws. Her tail was just short to balance to the shoulder, it tapers well from a medium base to a paint brush finish. Her coat is fairly short in length and lies very close to her body; feeling like silk. It is a rather cool tone of lilac – almost metallic in the show lighting today. She was shown in excellent condition, a little fractious today with lots to complain about but she handled well enough.

1^st Mr & Ms Gilbert’s IGRPR MARSHMIST ELEANOR 27h FN 20-09-2001

Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers nicely to a broad blunt muzzle with a level bite, nicely rounded top of head with well shaped and sized ears which are set well apart. In profile her skull could do with a little more depth for balance, nicely rounded brow, good nose break and an essentially straight nose line apart from the end which fell away, her jaw has reasonable depth but really needs to be deeper for perfection - her chin lacks a little depth, it sits correctly in a vertical plane to the end of her nose. Her body feels weighty and firm, it has a strong chest and a straight back, her legs are elegant and in keeping with her body they have the correct stance and she has oval paws. Her tail balances to her shoulder and tapers well to a paint brush finish from a medium base. Her coat is short in length, with a smooth silky feel to it and is rich chocolate in colour and mingled well with various shades of red. She was shown in very good condition and handled well being the mood for strutting her stuff today. A very well balanced exhibit.

A sweet little chap who was rather unsure of himself today and preferred to be in his pen. Love broad wedge and such appealing golden eyes. Charming white mitts.

His limbs were in proportion, nicely muscled, they were taller in the hind legs and had spoon shaped paws. His tail was short to balance. It tapered well to a rounded end. He coat was generally well coloured to the roots and had some sheen to it. Presently it is rather long, open and kitten-like really which will hopefully rectify itself as he grows. He is a very sweet little chap who hopefully will develop nicely.

1^st & BoB Miss Ransom’s CARNUS FIRSTKISS 27, F, 15-02-2009

A kitten of very good overall type. She has large and lustrous eyes which have excellent definition to the upper lids and super fullness to lower lids and are set very well. They are pale yellow in colour with inner chartreuse rims in this show hall. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle. She has a level bite. She has lovely rounding between her ears which are set very well apart; they are nicely balanced; wide in the base and having rounded tips. She has a very typical contour to her upper face. Her profile shows quite good depth to her skull. She has good rounding to her brow. She has a very well defined nose break and a straight nose line, whilst her lower jaw has good depth I would like a little more for absolute perfection her chin could be a tad fuller consequently. It is correctly aligned to the end of her nose in a straight vertical plane. Her body has good weight for her size, which is on the dainty side for her age and is nicely balanced. She has a straight back and a strong chest. Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs which were dainty and elegant. She has pretty spoon shaped paws. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a paint brush tip from a medium base. Her coat has a super fine texture and satin like feel to it. It is warm lighter brown at present but will no doubt develop with age. She was shown in excellent condition. She was a little bit moody but handled well enough and I found her look very appealing.

Miscellaneous Classes:

Class 703 AV Foreign Breeder’s Adult Female

1^st Mr & Mrs Alger-Street’s TYPHA OLOROSO (72b) F, 10-08-2007 Chocolate Asian Self

A dainty little poppet. She had reasonably large eyes. They had reasonable shape; a gentle slant to the nose in her upper and fully rounded lower lids. They were set well apart in a head that is still developing and needs more width as yet. They were rich coppery amber in colour with a few flecks. Face on she had a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. She had a level bite although her upper incisors where set slightly back of the lower set they did meet. She had a very gently rounded head, verging on being a trifle flat and ears that are set reasonably well apart but would benefit from being further apart. Her ears had wide bases, had rounded tips and were a good sized for balance. They had reasonable profile tilt. In profile her skull had good depth. She had a very gently rounded brow. Her nose break was defined, her nose line was interrupted by a small bump. She had good depth to her lower jaw which correctly aligned with the end of her nose and gave her chin good depth. Her body was quite small and it felt a little less weighty than I would like but it had good muscle tone. She had a strong chest and a straight back. Her limbs were elegant and in keeping with her body. She had correctly taller hind legs. She had neat oval paws. Her tail balanced well to the shoulder. It tapered from a medium thick base to a rounded end. Her coat was marginally long but sound to the roots which is most impressive in a chocolate self! She could have stood a little more show preparation as her coat improved visibly just from steward’s careful hand grooming. She was an absolutely delightful character, full of the joys, very friendly and loving. I suspect she may well have not long finished nursery duties so was happy to make allowances for her stature today.

2^nd Mrs Cragg’s WAKANDA GOODIE BLUESHOOZ (74a) F

A very pleasing Blue Tonkinese who straddles the line between Burmese and Oriental type exactly! Super head with a pleasing profile, suitably set eyes and ears which were large but in keeping with her head. Svelte yet weight body with a delightfully soft coat with a satin like texture which felt as though it had been glued into place – hair by hair. Tail just balanced and has elegant limbs. Prepared beautifully and shown in excellent health – a charmer to meet today.

His skull has reasonable depth, a rounded brow, his nose break was lacking definition today and he has a straight nose line which fell away marginally toward the nose leather. His lower jaw had acceptable depth and was set back, his chin was lacking due to this. His body has good weight and muscle tone, he has a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in proportion and have good stance. He has neat oval paws. His tail balances and tapers well to a rounded end. His coat is reasonably short and lies close to the body, it is a warm honey toned chocolate with quite dark contrast to his face and extremities.
