I must say everything seemed to run very well and I was very impressed with the paperwork some really novel touches. I was ably assist by Wayne Vessey who handling of all the exhibits was exemplary, his good humour and company a joy. My abject apologies to Liz for double booking again and thank you for being so very understanding of this dim wit! It was a real privilege steward for Mrs Gregory at Best of Best and a joy to find my first two exhibits of the day had made the final cut and especially thrilling that Rossikhan Yum Yum was chosen as Best of Best – which really made my day.</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Open Classes:</b></div><div><b>Class L 344 Asian Tabby Kitten</b></div><div>1st & BoB Mrs Kemp’s NAZKATZ KEEPSAKE 72 45 ,M, 1/3/10</div><div>A very handsome young man. He has large and lustrous muddy golden eyes, which are well set. He has a short wide wedge, level bite, fairly blunt muzzle and well set ears which have good shape and size. In profile he has reasonable depth to his skull, a rounded brow, his nose break is reasonable but more definition is desired, his nose line is essentially straight with a slight falling away a the very end, his jaw correctly aligns in a straight vertical plane to the end of his nose, but I would prefer more depth to his lower jaw. His medium sized body is well muscled, it has a strong chest and straight back. His legs are in proportion to his body with correctly taller hind legs with spoon shaped paws. His tail was little short to balance to the shoulder. BCR brown ticking was evident but the ground was a rather pale, he has an M to his forehead, a scarab to his brow, spectacle markings to face, a single broken necklace, smudges to his fore and hind legs, solid hocks, a clear spine line which descends down to a solid tail tip. His coat is still rather kittenish in length at present but he was shown in super condition and was a delight to hand being very playful and happy.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Class L408 Chocolate Burmese Kitten</b></div><div>1st & BoB Mrs Wilshaw’s ROSSIKHAN YUM YUM 27b, F, 23/3/10</div><div>Gorgeous was my first observation and I was soon hear others seemingly speaking my thoughts out loud as she was already gaining quite a lot of attention amongst my fellow judges first thing in the morning! She has very pleasing large and lustrous golden yellow eyes, super shape to both upper and lower lids, and set well apart – she has a typical Burmese expression! Sporting a short wide wedge, level bite and nice blunt muzzle, super setting to her ears which were suitably full at this age, but continued the typical contour desirous of the breed, she has super rounding to her head. In profile she has deep skull, again nicely rounded brow, excellent nose break, a straight nose line with tiny falling away at the end, she has good depth of jaw which is correctly aligned. Dainty but well muscled body which a strong chest and straight back. Her legs are in proportion, taller in the hind and having neat oval paws, her tail balances and taper nicely to a paintbrush tip. Her coat was exceptionally short and silky in texture is was the most pleasing honey toned shade of chocolate with bare minimum contrast to her mask. Shown in excellent condition and having a delightfully sweet temperament. It was as I said in my preamble an absolute delight to handle her again for Mrs Gregory later at Best of Best and watching delight in the crowd’s reactions to her as well is something I will always remember – I think her mother also has done the same if my memory serves me correctly.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Miscellaneous Classes:</b></div><div><b>H636 AV Foreign Novice Adult</b></div><div>1st REXIVAL SCHEHERAZADE a super sphynx with stunning lemon shaped eyes and excellent confirmation.

She has large and lustrous chartreuse eyes with great slants to the upper lids super fullness to her lower lids.

Well grown body, slender elegant limbs, tail too short to balance. Super silky coat that is a pleasing pale blue with plenty of silvering to rounded areas. Narrowly missed out to the winner today.</div><div>3rd GRPR SUGARBOWL HUNKYDORY This girl has quite large pale chartreuse eyes, good break but her chin needs more depth, I do find there is too much width between her ears which rather forces the ears to be far too low set for my taste which upsets the balance of her head. Her coat usually seemed a tad woolly today – she handles very well and was otherwise in excellent condition.</div><div>4th PR CHIARO SERAFINA Still a work in progress and not quite able to complete with the above today.</div><div><br /></div>Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08011132875815105709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322880703545617365.post-74345143762566183192010-07-15T17:03:00.003+01:002010-07-15T17:08:49.160+01:00Lakeland Cat Club Show 19-06-2010<p class="MsoNormal">My thanks to my steward, Liz Prescott, for her company and excellent handling of the cats.

His legs are elegant yet sturdy and in proportion to his body, with taller hind legs, they have neat oval paws. His tail balances to the shoulder and tapers to a rounded end from a medium base.

She has quite large and lustrous eyes, the upper lids were rather full and rounded today yet she had very good fullness to lower lids and they are set very well apart. They are golden yellow in colour. Face on she has a short wedge which is lacking width at present. She has a level bite, but was teething today. She has pleasing rounding between her ears which are set very well apart, they are rather large for her head at present and dominate somewhat; wide in the base and having rounded tips. Her profile shows good depth to her skull. She has good rounding to her brow yet in profile it was a tad long. She lacks definition in her nose break due to her teething no doubt and has a mostly straight nose line, whilst her lower jaw has reasonable depth I would like a little more for perfection, it is correctly aligned to the end of her nose in a straight vertical plane. Her medium body has good weight for her dainty size and had excellent muscle tone. She has a straight back and a strong chest. Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs, all of her limbs 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 was short but felt a little harsh along her spine line today; it is pale chocolate in colour with minimal contrast to her mask and ears. She was shown in excellent condition and was a little shy to start off with, but very sweet and gentle.

Of course none of it would be possible if Olive had not suggested I show my first Burmese ...

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

He has reasonably large eyes, his upper lids have acceptable slants to the nose and pleasing rounding to lower lids, they are set well apart and are pale chartreuse in colour with a mascara effect to the rims. He has a short but medium width wedge and has a level bite. Gentle rounding between ears that are a good size, balanced and are set as well apart as they can on this narrow head. His skull has reasonable depth, a rounded brow, a good nose break and he has a straight nose line which is a too long for perfection. His lower jaw had acceptable depth and was correctly set in an aligning vertical plane to the end of his nose, chin needs to be much fuller for perfection. His medium sized body needs more weight, he has a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in proportion and have good stance. He has oval paws. His tail balances and tapers well to a paint rounded end. His coat is short and has good texture, it is a mid toned blue with very nice silvering in parts.

He has large and lustrous eyes, his upper lids have reasonable slants to the nose I would like more definition still and good rounding to lower lids, they are set well apart and they are amber in colour. Occasionally he hooded over his upper lids which tends to spoil their expression a little. He has a short wide wedge, it tapers well to a broad blunt muzzle and has a level bite. Gentle rounding between ears that are a good size, balanced very well and are set well apart. He has a pleasing contour to his upper face.

His lower jaw had reasonable depth which was set back marginally, his chin could be a fraction fuller for perfection. His large body has good weight and excellent muscle tone, he has a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in proportion and have good stance – they are very solid and masculine.

He has a short medium width wedge which is a little pinched today, he has a level bite. Gentle rounding between ears that are large in size at present and are set as far apart as they can on his slightly narrow head. 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.

His ears are good a size and shape for balance, being wide at the base with round tips and are set well apart on his head. He has a short but medium-wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle. He has a level bite. His profile shows a skull of reasonable depth, a rounded brow, a nose break that could take more definition and a straight nose. Although his jaw finishes in the correct vertical plane to the end of his nose it would be enhanced by more depth to give fullness to his chin. His large body feels weighty and has very good muscle tone to it giving a masculine appearance. He has a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in keeping with his body having correctly taller hind legs with oval paws. His tail balances and tapers well to a paint brush tip from a medium base. His colour could well have been darkened by the pristine silver base and suffered from tarnishing too, but for me it has a burnt toffee brown tone in a few too many in areas such as his head, down his back and there were hints of metallic tone in the areas surrounding his paw pads. <span style="">I gave him the benefit of doubt on this occasion although I suspect his registration will eventually need changing to 72 43nsq as there are tell tale signs of the dilute modifier at work, but as with all Burmese colour restricted coats it will take time to be fully realised. </span>He is evidently shaded and a mantle of colour descends well down his body, he has thumb prints to his ears, an M to his forehead, a scarab, spectacle lines, a broken necklace and a clear spine line which carries along his tail to a solid tip.

<br />A sweet little girl who is rather unsure of herself. She has reasonably large and lustrous muddy golden eyes. They have good shape; fairly well defined slant to the nose in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They are set well apart in her head. They have a pleasing Burmese expression. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very blunt muzzle which was a little pinched today. She has a level bite, but was teething a little.

They add well to the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has good depth. She had a super rounded brow. She has a good nose break, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which appeared set back a little today. Her medium sized body felt appropriately weighty and had good muscle tone for her size. She has a strong chest and a straight back. Her limbs are neat and elegant with dainty spoon shaped paws. She has the correct stance; taller hind legs. Her tail balances to her shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was a warm brown in tone but the colour is still developing, it was very clear and even. It was also short in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture.

<br />A very cutesy exhibit. She has medium rich golden eyes, but I think she was teething which was upsetting many of her facial features today. They have excellent shape; well defined slant to the nose in her upper lids though her lower lids could be fuller. They are set well apart in her broad well developed head. They have an excellent Burmese expression despite their size. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very blunt muzzle which was a little pinched today. She has a level bite and as already noted she was teething. She has a lovely rounded head and ears that are set well apart thereon. Her ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are suitably sized to balance her head. They add well to the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has quite good depth. She had a nicely rounded brow. She has a very good nose break, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which was set back a little and could be deeper for perfection. Her medium sized body felt very weighty and had excellent muscle tone. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are rather dainty and elegant with sweet little spoon paws. She has taller hind legs. Her tail balances to her shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was a super soft baby blue with nice silvering already and mingled nicely with various shades of cream. It was also still very much a kitten coat, reasonably short, whilst being soft and silky in texture. She was shown in superb condition. She was very sweet and fitted in my pocket very nicely but I was frisked on the way out ...

<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CLASS 672 AV SH CAT</span>
<br />1st Messers Crow & Goss’ CH KAGURA AURORA (68 45q) F
<br />An extremely attractive exhibit. She had large and lustrous pale yellow chartreuse eyes. They had very good shape; well defined slant to the nose in her upper lids when she wanted to, she had a tendency to round them and fully rounded lower lids. They were set well apart in her broad well developed head. All in all they had an excellent expression. Face on she had a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very broad blunt muzzle. She had a level bite. She had a gently rounded head and ears that were set well apart thereon. Her ears had wide bases, rounded tips and were suitably sized to balance her head. They added well to the contour of her upper face and had the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull had good depth. She had a gently rounded brow.

Her medium sized body felt weighty and had good muscle tone. She had a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are neat and elegant with spoon shaped paws. She had the correct stance with appropriately taller hind legs. Her tail just balanced to her shoulder. It tapered well from a medium thick base to a rounded tip. Her coat had a super silky feel to it and suitable semi-longhair length, although she had minimal plume to her ruff and tail plume; this is appropriate for the time of year and I made allowances, she did have toe tuffs and ear streamers however. She had quite reasonably defined ticking which descended well down her flanks, a warm BCR brown over an oatmeal ground in the hall lighting, she had good thumb prints to her ears, an “M” to her forehead and a clear scarab with spectacle markings to her face, her necklace was less well defined. She had strong hocks to her rear legs, with stripes to the inner fore legs and also to the outer rear legs, her spine lines descends down her tail to a solid tip. She was shown in superb condition. She was a gentle girl and handled very nicely indeed! I would have no hesitation in offering a CC and BoB to this exhibit today.
<br />
<br />2nd Mrs Moore’s DUCAMARA ANNABELINDA (27) F24-07-2008
<br />Such a little sweetie. She has reasonably large and lustrous muddy golden eyes. They have very good shape; a clearly defined slant to the nose in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They are set well apart in her head, which is still developing and could benefit from more width. They have a very fine Burmese expression. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. She has a level bite. She has a gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart. Her ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are suitably sized to balance her head. They compliment the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has reasonably good depth. She had a gently rounded brow. Her nose break was acceptable but could stand more definition, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which ends in the same vertical plane as her nose and needs more depth for perfection. Her medium sized body felt weighty and had good muscle tone. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her slender limbs are elegant with neat oval paws. She has the correct stance. Her tail balances to her shoulder. It tapers very well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was a warm brown in tone, it was very clear and even. It was also very short in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture – very stylish. She was shown in superb condition. She is quite a sweet baby girl in a very playful mood today as she managed to steal my twizzler whilst was writing her up!

<br />2nd Mr & Mrs Williams’ MOLYNMEUX BEUXTIFUL (27c) F

<br />Ever so drop dead gorgeous and he knows it! He has large and lustrous yellow eyes. They have excellent shape; extremely well defined slants to his upper lids and very full lower lids. They are set well apart in his broad well developed head. They do have an excellent Burmese expression – text book in fact. Face on he has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very broad blunt muzzle. He has a level bite [I noticed he’d lost a single upper incisor]. He has a pleasingly rounded head and ears that are set well apart. His ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are suitably sized to balance his head. They enhance the contour of his upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile his skull has good depth. He has a well rounded brow. He has a very good nose break, a straight nose line and a very good deep lower jaw, adding the required depth to his chin, which ends in the same vertical plane as his nose. All in all an excellent profile! His medium sized body felt weighty and had excellent muscle tone. He has a rounded chest and a straight back. His limbs are elegant and muscular with oval paws. He has taller hind legs, giving him the desired stance. His tail balances to his shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat was a pink toned lilac which was a little cool in the hall lighting today. It was also very short in length, whilst having that very expensive texture that very few Burmese achieve – the costliest of satins. He was shown in superb condition. He got a few grumbles off his chest but he handled very nicely. My pick of the day.

<br />A very appealing chocolate. She has large and lustrous golden yellow eyes. They have good shape; nicely defined slants in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They are set well apart in her very broad head. They have a really appealing Burmese expression. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. She has a messy bite. She has a gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart. Her ears have wide bases, they have rounded tips and are in proportion to her head. They compliment the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has reasonably good depth. She had a gently rounded brow. She has a very good nose break, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which was set back a little. Her medium sized body very felt weighty and had good muscle tone; her weight is that very typical shock you have when picking up a Burmese – like a brick wrapped in silk. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are elegant with dainty spoon shaped paws. She has the correct stance. Her tail is just short to balance to her shoulder. It tapers well from a rather thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was a mid toned chocolate with minimal contrast but brindling was evident. It was also reasonably short in length, whilst being soft in texture with that lovely satin effect. She was shown in superb condition. She was a very sweet natured girl – who added up to a greater sum than her parts on balance for me today.

<br />This is beginning to be a habit – but she is rapidly becoming one of my favourite time wasters! A gorgeous exhibit. She has large and lustrous rich chartreuse eyes. They have excellent shape; super definition to the slant in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They are set well apart in her well developed head. They have an excellent Burmese expression. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very broad blunt muzzle. She has level gums bless her! She has a gently rounded head and her ears are set well.

In profile her skull has reasonably good depth. She had a gently rounded brow. She has a very good nose break, a straight nose line and a reasonably deep lower jaw which ends in the same vertical plane as her nose, but could take more depth for perfection. Her medium sized body felt weighty and had good muscle tone – thought she looked festively plump. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are neat and elegant with spoon shaped paws. She has the desired stance with taller hind legs. Her tail just balances to her shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat has rich shades of red mingling with warm chocolate. It was also very short in length, whilst being soft and very silky in texture. She was shown in super condition. She a real joy to handle as she just love schmoozing and showing off – as I stated at the beginning a real time waster.
<br />
<br />2nd Miss Beswick’s PR MAINMAN LEONARDO (27) MN
<br />A very relaxed exhibit. He has reasonably large chartreuse eyes. They have good shape; well defined slant to the nose in the upper lids and nicely rounded lower lids.

He has a flatter head than desired and ears that are set quite well apart. His ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are in proportion to his head. They add to the contour of his upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile his skull has reasonable depth. His brow is rather lacking in rounding. He has a good nose break and a straight nose line which is a tad long. He has reasonable depth to his lower jaw which ends in the same vertical plane as his nose, it could be deeper for perfection. His medium sized body felt weighty and had good muscle tone. He has a rounded chest and a straight back. His limbs are strong and elegant with oval paws. He has good stance. His tail is just short balance to the shoulder. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat is warm brown in tone and has super sheen to it.

<br />1st Miss Ziccardi’s AFFECTIONATE BOOBY DAZZLER (76 20) MN
<br />A very impressive exhibit in his pen but not too co-operative on the table. Super strong large body and limbs with tail to balance with suitably small wild looking head. Super colours to coat and an especially rich ground colour to this marble pattern. Unfortunately he was too upset to handle so I cannot go into further detail.

<br />1st Mrs Willis’ CH LUSARA CHLOE NARCISSE (27c) FN
<br />A very pretty lilac! She has large and lustrous pale yellow eyes. They have very good shape; well defined slants in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They are set well apart in her pleasing head. They have a pleasing Burmese expression. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle. She has a level bite. She has a gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart. Her ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are suitably sized to balance her head. They add well to the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has reasonably good depth. She has a gently rounded brow. She has a very good nose break, a straight nose line which could be shorter for perfection and a reasonably deep lower jaw which ends in the same vertical plane as her nose. Her medium sized body felt weighty, but was carrying some fat. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are dainty and elegant with oval paws. She has taller hind legs. Her tail was short to balance. It tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat was a pale lilac with a cooler frosty mask. It was also acceptable in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture. She was shown in superb condition. She was a very cheeky girl with a feisty side to her – but a very enjoyable character!
<br />
<br />2nd Mr & Mrs Smith GRPR MACHIKA GUINEVERE (27a) FN
<br />She has medium sized chartreuse eyes, the right eye has a brown fleck in it. They really let her head down as they have little definition to the upper lids and lack in fullness in the lower lids. All in all they have rather poor Burmese expression. Face on she has a reasonably short wide wedge which tapers well to a rather square muzzle. She has a level bite. She has a rather flat head and ears that are set reasonably well apart. Her ears are too small for balance but OK for shape. They detract from the contour of her upper face due to the lack of size. In profile her skull has reasonable depth. She had a flat brow. She has a reasonably good nose break, a straight nose line that is too long really. Her jaw lacks depth and recedes somewhat. Her large body felt rather over weight. She has a rounded chest and a straight back. Her limbs are neat with oval paws. She has taller hind legs. Her tail is short to balance. It tapers well from a rather thick base to a paint brush tip. Her coat is a soft blue with some silvering. It was reasonably short in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture. I would like to see her lose some weight, she handled well and seemed rather bored with the whole affair today.

<br />A super Tawny Ocicat Classic. A very elegant boy; very well set eyes and his head looking very typie in general; nice modified wedge, good cheeks, good definition to muzzle. His pattern was superb with tram lines on is spine, butterfly wings and oysters to his body, thumb prints to his ears, an M to his forehead and a scarab, spectacles to his face and an unbroken necklace. Superb rich colours; a dark pattern against that rich tawny agouti background and excellent confirmation. He was present very well and handled very nicely indeed.
<br />
<br />2nd Mrs Kaye’s SILSILA BEOWULF (23a) MN
<br />A very attractive Aby neuter boy. Lovely sorrel ticked coat, super texture with excellent drag. M to forehead, scarab, broken necklace, white to chin but good hocks! Nice head pleasing yellow eyes, wee indentation to profile, firm chin and good width. Tail balances and limbs are neat and elegant. He handled very well - obviously waiting for the extra legs to develop! Seriously though a very lovely exhibit whom it was a pleasure to handle today.

<br />1st Miss Bradley’s GRCH KAMEHAHD TICKETY BOO (72 45) F
<br />A very gentle exhibit. She has large and lustrous rich golden amber eyes. They had good shape; a reasonably well defined slant to the nose in her upper lids and fully rounded lower lids. They were set well apart in a head that lacks in width at present for my taste. All in all they had a pleasing expression. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a reasonably blunt muzzle which looked a little pinched today. She has a level bite with a couple of upper incisors missing. She had a very gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart. Her ears had wide bases, rounded tips and balance her head. They enhance the contour of her upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile her skull has good depth. She had a rather gently rounded brow. Her nose break could take more definition for perfection, it had a straight nose line which fell away slightly toward the end. Her lower jaw had reasonable depth but was slightly set back. Her medium sized body felt weighty and had pleasing muscle tone. She had a strong chest and a straight back. Her limbs were dainty and elegant with oval paws. She had the correct stance. Her tail just balanced to her shoulder. It tapered well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. She had superb black ticking with very clear definition on her rich coppery ground, she had clear thumb prints to her ears, an “M” to her forehead, a scarab, spectacles, good necklace. She had small stripes to all legs with trout like spots to her upper forelegs and on her tummy too, she had solid hocks to her rear legs. She had clear spine line and rings too on her tail. Her coat was also very short in length, whilst being soft and silky in texture – very pleasing. She was shown in superb condition. She handled very nicely and was really rather confident today.
<br />
<br />2nd Mrs Ward’s HUGGIBEAR EBONY CHIEFTAIN (72) Bombay M
<br />Still a rather young adult. He had medium sized eyes, pale yellow with a vivid green inner rims beginning to form. They had an horizontal line in the upper lids and reasonable rounding to lower lids. Face on he had a short wedge which was still a little pinched. His bite was level. He had gentle rounding to the top of his head where his ears were set well apart. They were wide in the base and had nicely rounded tips. They balanced his head well. His skull had medium depth, a gently rounded brow and a fairly good nose break. His nose has a bump mid way down, his jaw was only just acceptable for depth and was set back a little. His medium sized body had reasonable muscle tone and weight to it. He had a strong chest and a straight back. His limbs were in proportion, they were taller in the hind legs and had oval paws. His tail only just balanced. It tapered well to a rounded end and was somewhat thick at the base. He was generally well coloured to the roots, although he did have several out breaks of white hairs mostly on the back of his neck, on his chest under his chin and on his limbs, his tummy was also had a rusty tone to it. His coat was really too long for a shorthaired exhibit. He was very easy top handle and has very sweet temperament – he is very easy to waste time with!

<br />An adorable character! His pale yellow - chartreuse eyes lack size really. His upper lids tend to be rather horizontal and lower lids could be fuller. They are set well apart. They have could had a better Burmese expression. Face on he has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a very blunt muzzle. He has a level bite [though is missing incisors on his lower jaw]. He has a gently rounded head and ears that are set well apart. His ears have wide bases, rounded tips and are in keeping with his head. They add to the contour of his upper face and have the correct profile tilt. In profile his skull has reasonable depth. He has a gently rounded brow. He has a very good nose break, a straight nose line and a rather shallow, receding lower jaw. His large body feels weighty and has good muscle tone. He has a rounded chest and a straight back. His limbs are neat and elegant with oval paws. He has taller hind legs. His tail balances to his shoulder. It tapers from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat was a rich warm tangerine red tone. It is medium-short in length, whilst being soft in texture. He was shown in excellent condition. He is a very relaxed and adorable character – a super companion I bet!

She has a 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 sits correctly aligned to her nose in a straight vertical plan. Her body has good weight for her size and is beginning to look slightly unbalanced in that she has obviously had a growth spurt recently and she has become rather long in the body. She has a straight back and strong chest. Her stance shows correctly taller hind legs. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a rounded end. She still has a kitten coat at present, it is a warm even lilac. It had a super fine texture and satin like feel to it. Shown is excellent condition, she is a very confident girl who is very sweet and gentle – such a shame to wake her up from underneath her multi-layered blankets.

He has reasonably large muddy yellow eyes, which have a pleasing slant to his upper lids and reasonable roundness to his lower lids. They are set quite well but his head is at that “in between kitten and adult stage” of development at present. Face on he has a short wide wedge, which due to teething was a little pinched today. His bite was level. He has gentle rounding between his well set ears. They are good for size and shape. His contour to his upper face is pleasing. In profile he has a reasonably deep skull. He has a gently rounded brow. His break lacks definition (due to his teething no doubt). He has a straight nose which falls away a little at the very end. His lower jaw was rather shallow and slightly set back. His body is developing nicely and has excellent weight. He has a straight back and a rounded chest. His limbs are neat and in keeping with his body having oval paws and the correct stance. His tail balances, and tapers from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat has medium length. Is soft and silky to the touch. It is a rather pale lilac in tone with a slightly cool toned mask. He is a lovely lad who is very friendly and a pleasure to meet.

His ears that are set well apart, they are good for size and shape. He has a pleasing contour to his upper face. His skull was a medium depth and has a rounded brow. His nose break needed more definition (possibly due to his teething). He has an essentially straight nose that fell away little towards the end. His lower jaw has barely acceptable depth and really need much more for balance, it was also receding a little. His body was very well grown for his age being firm and solid. He has a strong chest and a straight back. His limbs are of an appropriate size for his body. They have oval paws and they show the correct stance. His tail was a little short to balance, but tapers well from a medium thick base to a paint brush tip. His coat was reasonably short. It has very good texture to it. It is a pale but bright red, currently with a few smudges to his inner fore legs, a remnant of a necklace which will hopefully blend in as he develops and scarab but a clear tummy.

She was delightful and purred away for us the whole time we handled her.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><b style=""><span style="">CLASS 189 WCC AC KITTEN<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="">1<sup>st</sup> Mrs Robinson’s MOLYNMEUX GOLD DUST (27f) M 23-12-08<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="">see above<o:p></o:p></span></p> Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08011132875815105709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322880703545617365.post-5527278773642286432009-06-23T17:12:00.001+01:002009-06-28T10:57:40.536+01:00Lakeland & District Cat Show 20-06-2009<meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CAMAD%7E1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><link rel="Edit-Time-Data" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CAMAD%7E1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_editdata.mso"><!--[if !mso]> <style> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} </style> <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:officedocumentsettings> <o:relyonvml/> <o:allowpng/> <o:targetscreensize>1024x768</o:TargetScreenSize> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Verdana; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:536871559 0 0 0 415 0;} @font-face {font-family:Tahoma; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:1627421319 -2147483648 8 0 66047 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} p.MsoHeader, li.MsoHeader, div.MsoHeader {margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; tab-stops:center 207.65pt right 415.3pt; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} p.MsoFooter, li.MsoFooter, div.MsoFooter {margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; tab-stops:center 207.65pt right 415.3pt; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:595.3pt 841.9pt; margin:1.0cm 1.0cm 1.0cm 1.0cm; mso-header-margin:35.45pt; mso-footer-margin:28.65pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">My thanks to Edward & Mike for inviting me to judge at their show.

His head has a short but very wide wedge which is most pleasing, it tapers well to a blunt muzzle and has a level bite. His profile shows a skull of very good depth, rounded brown, good nose break, straight nose, jaw of good depth finishing in the correct vertical plane to the end of his nose. Medium body feels weighty and has very good muscle tone giving a strong & masculine appearance to it, with a strong chest and straight back. His limbs are in keeping with his body with oval paws and correctly taller hind legs – looking very elegant. His tail balances and tapers well to a paint brush tip from a medium base. His warm lilac base caramel clearly show hints of metallic tone around the back of his head and around his paws it contrasts well with his silver background. He is lightly shaded and his mantle descends well down his body, he has faint thumb prints to his ears, an M to his forehead, a scarab, spectacle lines and broken necklace a good spine line which carries along his tail to a solid tip. His coat is very clear, his legs appeared free from smudges and stripes though he does have solid hocks to his hind legs. His coat was very soft and silky in texture lying close to his body. Shown in excellent condition and handled well – he responds well to flattery and a cuddle.

Face on she has a short wide wedge that tapers to a blunt muzzle, an essentially level bite [but the upper incisors are concave] gently rounded top of her head and her ears which are a good size for her head wide in the base and rounded at the tips are well very well apart. Her profile shows a skull of good depth, nicely rounded brow, well define nose break, a straight nose line which falls away slightly at the end, a jaw of decent depth which aligns in a straight plane to the end of her nose. Her medium sized body was well grown and felt weighty she had a strong chest and straight back, her limbs were in keeping and had oval paws and she had a good stance.

Tail was well plumed, but was just short to balance to his body. Dark charcoal blue coat which was sound to the root, had a silky texture of the correct length; showing minimal ruff, minimal breaches and plume to the tail, the coat was quite fine but his undercoat was rather too full [it needs stripping back to give it the desired fine coat that is now being achieved] and lacked preparation; he was let down by some knotting.

Shown in excellent condition, a little grizzly but she handled well enough preferring to be back in her pen.<span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08011132875815105709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322880703545617365.post-20230461874749052102009-05-31T17:17:00.000+01:002009-05-31T17:38:20.338+01:00Durham County Cat Club Show 2009<meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CAMAD%7E1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><link rel="Edit-Time-Data" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CAMAD%7E1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_editdata.mso"><!--[if !mso]> <style> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} </style> <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:officedocumentsettings> <o:relyonvml/> <o:allowpng/> <o:targetscreensize>1024x768</o:TargetScreenSize> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Verdana; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:536871559 0 0 0 415 0;} @font-face {font-family:Tahoma; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:1627421319 -2147483648 8 0 66047 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} p.MsoHeader, li.MsoHeader, div.MsoHeader {margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; tab-stops:center 207.65pt right 415.3pt; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} p.MsoFooter, li.MsoFooter, div.MsoFooter {margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; tab-stops:center 207.65pt right 415.3pt; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:595.3pt 841.9pt; margin:1.0cm 1.0cm 1.0cm 1.0cm; mso-header-margin:35.45pt; mso-footer-margin:28.65pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal">My thanks to Lorraine & Betty for their kind invitation to judge at their show.

Medium large eyes with a pleasing expression of muddy golden yellow with an inner chartreuse rim, the upper lids were a little horizontal today and the lower lids could be a little fuller, they are set well apart in her lovely broad head. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a nice blunt muzzle with an essentially level bite she has gentle rounding and her ears are set very well for one so young, they are nicely shaped a fraction large for some but her head can take them and they do form a pleasing contour to her head. In profile she has deep skull, pleasing rounded brow, a fair break that I would see a little more definition to; lets hope she is still developing, her nose line is straight and her jaw could be a little deeper for perfection and is set back a fraction. Her body has good muscle tone and substance to it and is quite large for her age but very elegant, having a strong chest and a straight back, she has slender limbs in keeping with her body they have the correct stance; taller hind legs, and they have neat oval paws. Her tail just balanced and tapered nicely from medium thick base to a charming paint brush end. Her coat is a rather soft but lies very closely to her body and has warm milky chocolate tone being mingled well with shades of red. She was shown in excellent condition but was a little grizzly with us today and when upset tends to throw some of her lovely attributes out such as pinching her muzzle and narrowing her eyes; however when relaxed she is delightful to view. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="">2<sup>nd</sup> Mrs Andrew’s ISAJEN MISSMARBLES (27e) F <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="">What an amazing little character, I could have wasted hours playing with her! Her eyes were a little watery today and the left eye particularly so and hence I felt she was not able to show us her eyes to their fullest size; they did have a wonderful slant to her upper lids though, I was very much taken with the shape of her eyes although the lower lids need to be much fuller, they are set well but her head is still rather immature and let’s hope once she reaches full maturity it will be broader as they could benefit from being further apart. Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers well to a blunt muzzle and she has an essentially level bite she has very gentle rounding to the top of her head and her ears will be better set once her head broadens out in maturity, they appear a little too on top of her head at present though they are well shaped but a little big for her head right now; this of course upsets the balance a little to the contour of her head today. She has very good depth to her skull in profile, gently rounded brow, good definition to her nose break, a straight nose line and a jaw of good depth if set slightly back at present it still gave her chin good depth when viewed face on, however all in all a promising profile. Her medium sized body is growing well, she has a round chest and a straight lower back; her limbs are nicely proportioned, dainty and elegant having oval paws and correct stance. Her tail just balances, is a little thick and has a rounded end, the end of her tail has a slightly tensile feel to it. Her coat was quite short and had a silky feel, she has a warm brown tone which is mingled well with various shades of red.

A large, heavy boned and well grown boy, tail that was really very short. His coat was a trifle long and soft at present but I suspect he has not had a full moult yet.

A little nervous and tending not to show herself off to her best, but the longer we have her out the more she settled down. She initially tended to round her eyes but eventually they settle showing the desirable shape, a slightly light but beautiful blue in colour. Her wedge and head was rather moderate but she is still rather young and developing, her ears could do with being slightly lower which will hopefully come with time. Her body fell solid and much heavier that it looked, her coat was immaculately prepared being absolutely pristine white in colour and clung to her body like it had been glued into place – it might have be a touch longer than desirable.

Face on he has a wide wedge which is a fraction long, it tapers to a blunt muzzle and has a level bite, he has a gently rounded top of head and his ears are set well giving a pleasing contour to his head; they are shaped well being wide in the base and having rounded tips, but could be a fraction larger for my taste. His skull has good depth in profile, a rounded brow, well defined nose break, his slightly longer nose line is straight, though his jaw requires greater depth and is set back slightly. His large body is rather over weight which leaves him a little inelegant, he has as strong chest and a straight back, neat limbs that have charming spoon shaped paws and correct stance. His tail was too short to balance but tapered nicely to a paint brush finish from a medium thick base. His short coat lies close to his body and was generally very good in texture apart from a slightly harsh texture along his tail, it was a rather intense shade of cream and there was very little powering evident today. A very sweet and gentle giant who handled very well – knowing how hard it is to loose those extra pounds of indulgence piled on during the course of many a pleasurable meal; I won’t state the obvious.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><b style="">

Face on she has a short wide wedge which tapers to a blunt muzzle, lovely rounding between her ears which are set well apart; they are nicely balanced; wide in the base and having rounded tips.

Her body is a good weight for her size; she has a straight back and lovely stance showing correctly taller hind legs. Her tail balances and tapers very well to a rounded end. She still has a kitten coat at present and the hall lighting was particularly unkind to lilacs today tending to darken it out somewhat, but it had a super fine texture and satin like feel to it.

His skull in profile shows good depth, very good rounding to brow, a well define nose break and straight nose, his jaw had good depth but it could have been a fraction deeper for perfection. His body is well developed and has super weight and a firm feel to it, a strong chest and straight back. His legs are in proportion to his body being well muscled, elegant, correctly taller in the hind pair and having charming spoon shaped paws.

He has rich red ticking against a tangerine background. He has faint thumb prints to his ears, a scarab is clearly defined as is the M to his forehead, he has spectacle lines to his face and a clear necklace which was not broken, his legs are quite clear of stripes but he had a few smudges to his rear legs and reasonable well appointed hocks, a solid spine line which followed down his tail to a solid coloured tip to his tail.

Distinct full expression chocolate shading against pristine silver which did tend to darken the chocolate, giving an even light shaded mantle descending well down his flanks, and tail. His thumb prints were more evident in his skin pigmentation than hair but his scarab and M to his forehead were distinct, as were the spectacle lines to his face and a strong necklace, he had several thin stripes to his fore and rear legs and most impressive solid hocks to his rear legs. His spine line was more diffuse down his body but clearly evident along his tail which was free from rings and ended in a solid tip.

Face on he has a narrow wedge which appears long at present, his bite was acceptable but his head appears to be rather flat.

Rich amber eyes, medium large in size could be larger for perfection, the upper lid could do with more definition and the lower lid could be slightly fuller again for perfection, set well apart in a head that is still developing and which will hopefully be broader in maturity. Head on he has a short medium width wedge, his muzzle was showing a slight pinch today and his bite whilst level displayed concave incisors, he had gentle rounding to the top of his head, his ears were set well apart on his head; they were of good size, wide in the base, with rounded tips and wee tufts, but showing the desired profile tilt when relaxed. In profile his head was quite deep, with a gently rounded brow, a reasonable nose break, a straight nose that fell away to the nose leather, his jaw was of acceptable depth but I would prefer more depth for perfection and it was set back slightly. His body is developing nicely and has good weight and size for his age, having a strong chest and straight back. His legs are in proportion to his body, correctly taller hind legs with oval paws. His tail did not quite balance being a little short of the shoulder, it tapered well to a paint brush tip and was of reasonable thickness. He had a very clear coat though the hall light rather muted his colour making it more warm red than tangerine to my eye but the hall light was really rather unkind to all the colours today, his coat as medium length and had an acceptable feel to it. His condition and temperament were excellent – quite a charming young man.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Class 406 AOC TORTOISHELL BURMESE KITTEN</span><br />Absent Ms Jones’ KARAKORAM TOAROSE (27j) F 3/12/2008<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miscellaneous Classes</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Class 667 AV Foreign Kitten (10 entered)</span><br />1st Mr & Mrs Johnson’s KAHK CZAR DOMBROVSKI (16a) M<br />This boy just screamed Russian to me. An elegant boy who is developing nicely with an excellent frame, ears held high and wide at the base, although he tended to round his eyes occasionally when relaxed they showed the desired almond shape; the colour is still developing currently a muddy green-yellow. His whisker pads were clearly prominent and added to that distinctive expression with the angle to his head still in developing but his nose had the desired concave curve. His chin was strong and correct set. His body was long and solidly muscular yet graceful and his coat had good density to it. Shown in excellent condition he handled beautifully.<br /><br />2nd Mrs Higgins and Miss Kennedy’s MESHKHENET MIYOKO (78 36) F<br />A really rather attractive smoke with excellent definition to her underlying spotted pattern on pristine silver. Well defined outlining to her nose, lips and eyes and correct paw and nose leather colour. Charming head type, slightly rounded wedge, large almond shaped eye which are still developing in colour; currently a muddy green-yellow in colour giving a rather worried look when view head on; her nose had the correct parallel lines and had a gentle contour in profile, she also had a super firm chin and level bite.

Head on she has a short wide wedge, blunt muzzle with a level bite, a very rounded top of her head and ears that are a little small for her generous sized head, but set well, wide at the base and with rounded tips. In profile her skull has good depth, again very rounded brow, very good nose break, straight nose and jaw of good depth, set correctly in a straight plane to the end of her nose. Her body is large and appropriately weighty – she had a substantial feel I noted, a strong chest and straight back, proportionate legs with spoon shaped paws and correct stance. Her tail balanced and tapered to paintbrush tip. Her coat was a rich warm brown in colour with sprinkling of white hairs across her shoulders but her coat was quite short in length, felling soft and silky. Shown in excellent condition, a little grizzly but she handled well.<br /><br />2nd Mr & Mrs Tower’s CH FERNYAULGH MISS BLUEBELL (27a) F<br />A very pretty exhibit. Large and lustrous eyes of pale chartreuse, set wide apart showing super expression with correct slant to nose on her upper lids and pleasing rounding to her full lower lids, they had a charming eye liner effect to rims and her mood only enhanced her expression. Ears of good proportion to head set well apart with rounded tips and wide at the base. Head has good depth to skull, gentle rounding, and a short wide wedge . Her profile showed a very good nose break, straight nose, and her jaw sits back a bit and had reasonable depth but I would prefer deeper for perfection. Her medium almost compact body is of excellent weight with a strong chest and straight back. Proportionate sized legs with good muscle tone, has oval paws and correct stance. Tail just balances, is of medium thickness and tapers to a rounded end. Her close lying coat is short, soft and silky of a mid blue colour with correct silvering. Shown in excellent condition, though in foul mood, she handled well enough for us a tad spoilt and used to getting her own I suspect – how unlike a blue to take itself so seriously?<br /><br />3rd Mr & Mrs Boardman’s CH ARTRO LILAC MOONSTONE (27c) F<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Class 702 AC BURMESE KITTEN (1 entered)</span><br />1st Mrs Kirkman’s RAWEKE CHOCOLATE SURPRISE (27b) MN<br />Well grown kitten who is going through a gangly period of development at present. This youngster had medium sized, pale golden eyes which were set well; the upper lid having a very gentle slant and the lower needing great fullness at present. Head on he had a medium length to his wedge, gentle rounding to his head, his ears were set well apart but his head is still growing and need more breadth they are wide at the base with round tips. His skull had good depth in profile, with a gently rounded brow, his break was acceptable but more definition would be desirable and he had a straight nose, his jaw had reasonable depth but was set back slightly and more depth again is required for perfection. His body was well grown for his age and had good weight; his limbs were in proportion with oval paws and showing the desired stance: taller in his hind legs. His medium thick tail balanced and tapered gently to a rounded end. His coat colour is presently a rather pale chocolate not the warm milk chocolate called for in the standard and therefore shows a strong contrast to his darker but still warm chocolate mask, it is to be hoped that the colour will even out as he matures; otherwise his coat was medium in length but soft and silky to the touch. He was shown in excellent condition and although at little unsure of himself he handled very well.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Class 703 AC BURMESE BREEDERS KITTEN (2 entered)</span><br />1st Dr Collin’s AUREUS SWEET JULIET (27) F 30/9/08<br />A very pretty kitten. Large and lustrous muddy golden yellow eyes, having thin inner chartreuse rim; super shape to both upper and lower lids and set well apart on her nicely developing head. Face on she has a pleasing short wide wedge, level bite and blunt muzzle, her head is nicely rounded with ears that are of good proportion, wide at the base and rounded tips, set well apart and displaying the desired forward tilt. Her skull is deep in profile and has good rounding to the brow, a good nose break and a straight nose, her jaw has good depth and set correctly in a straight plane to the end of her nose. Her medium size body is developing nicely and have a lovely feel to it with a rounded chest and straight back, her limbs are in keeping to her size with delightful spoon shaped paws and correct stance. Her tail balances, is of medium thickness and tapered well to a paint brush tip. Her warm brown coat was brindled but as she still has her kitten coat hopefully this will eventually clear out, it is short and feels very soft and silky, and lies close to her body. Show in excellent condition; all in all a delightful and sweet girl.<br /><br />2nd Mr & Mrs Boardman’s AMABILE BROWN DESDEMONA (27) MN<br />Another very pretty kitten sadly let down by a pronounced undershot bite which was confirmed by the duty vet. Again large and lustrous golden yellow eyes, with good shape and set well apart on a broad and very round head. Face on she shows a short wide wedge with a blunt muzzle, very much kitten rounded head, and her ears are set well, being of good size, having wide bases and rounded tips and showing correct profile tilt. In profile her skull is deep, again showing a kitten rounded brow (i.e. more than would be desirable in an adult), good break, straight nose, reasonable depth to her jaw and set correctly in a straight plane to her nose. Her body is compact but solid with pleasing firmness, strong rounded chest and straight back; her limbs are in proportion with oval paws and showing a good stance. Her tail balanced and tapered to a paintbrush end but had a degree of tensile tail to the very end. She had a lovely warm chestnut brown coat; it had a super soft & silky feel to it, lying very well to her body and of good length. She was shown in excellent condition and was a little upset and I guess fed up of having her mouth checked so often.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Class 715 AC BURMESE DEBUTANTE NEUTER (3 entered)</span><br />1st Miss Garlick’s SIGIMUND ONCEINABLUE MOON (27a) MN<br />Fast asleep when I arrived at his pen, I took a fair amount of time to try to ensure his was fully awake and settled before assessing him. Medium large chartreuse eyes, displaying a horizontal line rather than slanting toward his nose and would prefer a fuller lower lid. Head on he has a short medium width muzzle, good level bite, gentle rounding to the top of his head and his good sized ears were set well apart on his fairly broad head, and they were wide in the base and had rounded tips. His skull was of good depth in profile, having a rounded brow, his nose break could do with more definition but his nose was straight and his jaw had good depth and was set correctly in a straight plane to his nose. His medium sized body had good weight, a strong chest and straight back, his limbs were in keeping to his body size having oval paws and he displayed the correct taller hind leg stance. His tail balanced well and tapered to a paint brush finish. His soft blue coat was his best asset beautifully silvered such a pleasing shaded of blue and had superb short coat length – frankly the best all day also having a super satin feel to it. Shown in excellent condition a little fractious but handled well enough – another blue who thinks too much of himself!<br /><br />Absent Miss Negus’ ROSSIKHAN DARLING DAISY (27a) FN 21/7/08<br />Absent Miss Negus’ SUSUANE JASPER (27c) MN 7/7/08<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Class 722 AC RADIUS NEUTER (3 entered)</span><br />1st Mrs Jubb’s MAHARANI GABRIELLE (27)<br />FN A very pleasant exhibit; large and lustrous pale yellow eyes, set wide apart with good shape. Ears of good size, broad at the base with correct profile tilt, set wide apart on a gently rounded head which shows a very short wide wedge with a good level bite and blunt muzzle. In profile having gentle rounding to brow, good nose break, straight nose but a bump just past her nose break and chin of good depth which was set back a little. Body of medium size, very good weighty feeling, a strong broad chest and straight back. Neat legs with dainty oval paws which are in proportion to the body with taller hind legs. Tail is of good shape with plenty of length to balance, in fact having some spare, with a paint brush tip which felt slightly tensile at the tip today. Coat has a super silky feel and is pleasing rich warm brown. Shown in excellent condition; handle very well, a charming gentle girl.<br /><br />2nd Mrs Hartley’s PR GATTINI DANDINI (27a) MN<br />A rather large lad! Large and lustrous golden chartreuse eyes a tad hooded set well with good upper and lower lids with pleasing eye liner effect. His large ears were well in proportion to his head, broad at the base, rounded tips set well apart on gently rounded top of head. Had a reasonably short wide wedge but would prefer shorter for perfection with level bite his muzzle was slightly pinched today, brow appeared slightly long in profile too, with a weakly defined nose break but having a straight nose with a slightly shallow chin, which sat in the correct straight plane to nose tip. Long body with a good weighty feel, broad chest and straight back. Large limbs but in proportion, hind legs being taller and sat on oval paws. His tail was more than long enough to balance with round tip if slightly tensile today. Short, soft and silky coat of charcoal blue with good silvering. Shown in very good condition – handled well but a little upset by his neighbour today!<br /><br />3rd Mrs Hartley’s KARLAC BOUNCING BEANO (27c) MNSimonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08011132875815105709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322880703545617365.post-52590832006823782032009-02-27T17:09:00.001+00:002009-02-27T17:11:16.405+00:00If Carlsberg had a horn player it would be Dennis Brain<object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ORJgidberNM&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ORJgidberNM&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08011132875815105709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322880703545617365.post-17117399003475702582009-02-26T16:28:00.000+00:002009-02-26T16:30:36.870+00:00Sad but true . . .<object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mHXBL6bzAR4&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mHXBL6bzAR4&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08011132875815105709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322880703545617365.post-84204079531317702712009-02-26T14:36:00.000+00:002009-02-26T14:39:20.979+00:00Cat herding . . . enjoy!<object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Pk7yqlTMvp8&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Pk7yqlTMvp8&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08011132875815105709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322880703545617365.post-30482876093676153722009-02-26T12:53:00.000+00:002009-02-26T13:00:12.571+00:00My Favouite Blogs<span style="font-family: lucida grande;">I have just added a blogroll of some of my favourite sites, they're all classical music blogs or blogs from classical musicians. Don't be intimidated if you don't know anything about music they're really interesting people who put up some wonderful photographs and videos. I love Yankeediva's photography and her sheer sense of the joy in her life; it can be quite uplifting to read and look at her postings! Jessica Duchen's site is multi-award winning and she writes for the BBC & several newspapers. Cameron Kopf's Living in the Woods site is dear to me as I too play the french horn and like Cameron at one point in my life played Andrew Lloyd Weber's Phantom of the Opera for a living too, as you will read he love his pets (a cat & a dog who feature heavily from time to time) too.<br /><br />Happy reading!<br /><br /></span>Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08011132875815105709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322880703545617365.post-48720092713410438182009-02-26T12:28:00.000+00:002009-02-26T19:41:58.084+00:00Asian Group & Shorthair Cat Associations 10-01-09<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">My thanks to Lynda and the AGCS committee for the invitation to judge at the club show and to Celia for allowing the extra side classes for the Short Hair show.

Poor wee man seemed to be teething rather badly in the morning. I noticed later in the afternoon he had settled down and was looking very relaxed and settled. Large and lustrous rich golden amber eyes greeted me first; they are set well apart and had a very pleasing shape to them. Head on he has a short wide wedge, he was teething badly when I handled him and the duty vet confirmed he had a slightly irregular lower tooth but his bite was level, a blunt muzzle, rather pronounced rounding in the top of head (almost a Dome) at present which might be expected in such a young kitten. His ears were set well apart, being of good shape at present, wide at the base with rounded tips and slight tufts (due to his teething pains it was not possible to assess the profile tilt today). In profile his skull shows good depth, a very rounded “kitten” brow, a very good nose break, an essentially straight nose that fell away slight to his nose leather, jaw of good depth which lay in the correct plane to his nose. His medium sized body was very well filled for his age having that lovely plump kitten feel, but the muscles are developing nicely, strong chest and straight back. His legs were in proportion, the hind pair being taller and having oval paws. His coat was very much a baby coat going through that first moult and was patchy in terms of hair length and quality due to this, but it was a superb shade of chocolate, very warm and absolutely sound to the roots, he had a few stray white hairs mostly guard hairs though and his nose leather and paws were a complimentary shade of chocolate to match his coat. All in all a very sweet little chap who although suffering with teething pain when we examined him purred away and really enjoyed a fuss today. Will look forward to watching his development.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">2nd Mrs Ward’s RHUGGIBEAR EBONY CHIEFTAN (72) M 19/09/08</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">What a well grown youngster. His medium eyes were set wide apart and well shaped with correct slant to upper lid and pleasing rounding to lower, in colour they were a muddy yellow still. Head on he has a short wide wedge, with a blunt muzzle which was marginally pinched today due teething perhaps, but having a level bite; he also shows gentle round between his wide set ears which were of acceptable size, wide at the base with rounded tips. In profile his skull showed reasonable depth, a rounded brow, good break to his straight nose and acceptable depth to his jaw, I would prefer greater depth for perfection, which was set back slightly. His medium sized body was of excellent weight, with a strong chest and straight back. His limbs were medium sized but well proportioned, taller on the hind legs with attractive spoon shaped paws. His moderately thick tail balanced and had a paint brush tip. His coat was rather kittenish at present - a tad fluffy still; it was coloured to the root but there were some pronounced white hairs evident, no doubt where mum has been carrying him around, obviously black in colour with matching nose leather and paw pads. Shown in excellent condition and well prepared; such a sweet little soul who was very cheerful!</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >Asian Self Kitten Male (6months to 9months)</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">1st Mrs Pashler’s ADATESH COOLIAS EDUSA (72a) M 04/06/08</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">Rich golden yellow eyes which unfortunately he distorts somewhat narrowing them inside the pen and then widen them to “Chapel Hat Peg” size outside of the pen, he also rather tended to hood over the upper lids, set wide apart on his somewhat narrow head. Face on his has a medium length medium width muzzle which may well have been distorted by teething as his bite was confirmed as level by the duty vet but the lower teeth appear to be pushing further forward. He was puffing out his whisker pad though but had gentle rounding between his ears but they needed to be further apart as his head was somewhat narrow. Ears of reasonable size, wide in the base, with rounded tips and correct profile slant. His skull was of medium depth in profile, showing a rounded brow, a reasonable nose break, a straight nose a looking but a little too long, with a shallow receding jaw. His body was well grown for his age and he had very good weight and muscles developing nicely, a strong chest and a straight back. He had long legs which were in proportion to his body, neat oval paws and correctly taller hind legs. His tail balanced, had a gentle taper to a rounded end. His coat was slightly long but had good texture, it was the most unusual blue I have seen with a strange Pinkie-Brown (Cinnamon?) shade which was somewhat patchily scatter about his coat – there was a hint of silvering too but there was colour to the root if somewhat paler. A little nervous but handled well.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">2nd Mrs Pashler’s ADATESH AGROTIS PRONUSI (72a) M 04/06/08</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">This report will be very similar to his brother as they were almost alike as peas in a pod with a couple of minor differences. Medium sized eyes of golden yellow with green inner rim though, correct shape again with slight hooding to upper lids and set wide apart. Head on he was as narrow as his brother with medium width wedge of medium length, bite was level but whiskers puffed out again, gentle rounding but ears though set as far apart as they could be they still look incorrect because the head is not broad enough to take them as yet, they are of reasonable size, wide in the base and with rounding at the tips profile tilt was not quite there yet. Medium depth to skull in profile, rounding to brow, a weak nose break which needs more definition, straight if somewhat long nose, slight receding jaw which was again too shallow. Again a well grown body, with good weight and muscles developing very nicely, strong chest and straight back. Good long legs in proportion to body, neat oval paws and taller hind legs. Again coat the same as his brother slightly too long, that same odd pinkish-brown shade mingled into the pale blue but colour descending to the root if paling top the root. I am afraid he was tenser than his brother which along with his inner green rim and weaker nose break separated them for me.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" >Asian Self Kitten Female (6months to 9months)</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">Another pair of siblings who are developing really nicely!</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">1st Ms Rice’s CORVUS CELESTIAL (72b) F 24/05/08</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;">Lovely girl who I was pleased to see since I saw her a few months back in Yorkshire continues to develop beautifully.

Head on she has a pleasing short wide wedge, leading to a blunt muzzle finish with a level bite, gentle rounding across her broad head with well set ears; which are of good shape and size, wide in the base with rounded tips and have a good profile tilt. Her skull has very good depth in profile, a rounded brow with a very good nose break, straight short nose, jaw of acceptable depth set in correct plane to the end of her nose. Her medium sized body has very good weight, super muscle tone for her age, a good strong chest and straight back, her elegant legs are in proportion with neat oval paws and taller hind legs. Her tail balances and tapers well to a paint brush tip, being generally of moderate thickness.

Her ears are a good shape and size for her head, wide at the base and with pleasing rounding to the tips and correct profile tile. She has a deep skull in profile and a nicely rounded brow, her break is acceptable but not as good as her sisters I’m afraid, her short nose is straight but falls way slightly toward the nose leather at the end, her jaw is of acceptable depth and sits correct in the right plane to the end of her nose. Nice medium sized body of very good weight and muscle tone developing nicely, strong chest and straight back, medium sized legs in proportion to her body with nice oval paws and taller hind legs. Tail balances well and tapers to a paint brush tip but is slight thicker than her sisters. Again another lovely dark rich chocolate but pales much more towards the root than her sister’s coat, it too was sleek and lies very close to her body.

Medium sized body of good weight for size with a rounded chest and straight back, dainty legs in proportion to body with sweet little spoon shaped paws and correctly taller hind legs. Her medium thick tail balanced and tapered to a paint brush tip. Her ticking is developing but evident; having thumbs to ears, M to forehead, spectacles, faint broken necklace, and solid spine descending down her tail no rings to tail but having stripes on all four legs. Her coat colour is developing I would hope the background colour still has a good way to go yet as was a bit indistinct.

Good even mantle of BCR chocolate which is appropriately cooled by the pristine silver background, faint thumbs to ears, skull cap and M to forehead, spectacles to face, well descended spine line to solid tip.

Her tail balanced and was free of faults it was impossible to assess much more due to her displeasure and my valuing my fingers.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: verdana;"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Class 639 AV Foreign Radius Adult<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">1<sup>st</sup> Mrs Hawkins’ GR CH SAWATAO ARIANNAIDDWEN, 34, F<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Gorgeous was my first impression of this girl in her pen – she has such wonderful large eyes like Mercedes head lamps that illuminated her face so well! Lovely shape to her face head on – clearly the double heart effect. Her chin had good depth but receded slightly but she had a level bite. Her body was compact but very weighty with good muscle tone evident. Super elegant limbs and neat paws, her tail balanced. Very deep blue tone to her coat and silvering is showing nicely.

She also had strong cheek bones, pronounced whisker pads and a rounded muzzle. Straight nose, strong chin and good plane between both. Large ears and super large expressive eyes. Medium elegant body of good muscle tone, strong chest and straight back. Lovely whippy tail. Covered by the finest regal-blue down imaginable apart from the extra fluff to the lowest part of her ears which is permissible.

Alert ears which were a good sized for her head and broad at the base. Beautiful shade of blue to eyes, which were of good shape and set.

His had very promising head type, super wide muzzle, good width between his overly large ears (his head will grow but they are just so cute anyway!) and quite flat top of head already. Super width to his cheeks and a good strong stop, jaw a little shallow – imagine my horror at finding his bite not level today which was confirmed by the duty vet who felt it might be a developmental stage and be due to teething – let’s hope so. Wonderful kitten-fat little body; simply edible! He was covered all over with baby rex coat, but only had down across his top of his head, neck, shoulders and upper back. Could have wasted the whole day with him! I hope to see more of our little Frog Prince as he develops.

Large and lustrous rich amber eyes, set well apart, upper lid had minimal slant today but full rounding to lower lid. Ears are of a good size for head, wide at the base, rounded tips with small tufts beginning to develop, set well apart across a gently rounded head. He has a short wedge which is wide enough for his head however his head is a little narrow at present but still developing, the muzzle tapers to a blunt finish and has a level bite. In profile his skull is of good depth with a rounded brow, good nose break, with a small bump just after his break but is essential straight from here, jaw of good depth and sitting in the correct plane to the nose tip. His body is quite large for his age and is of very good weight with a strong chest and straight back. Proportionately long legs, taller in the hind with oval paws. Tail more than balances, taper to a paint brush tip but is rather thick. He is lightly shaded with a warm BCR red; the mantle is gradually descending from a firm spine line down his body and is very clear. He has an M to his forehead, a scarab, spectacles, faint thumb prints to his ears and a faint broken necklace, his legs are free from smudges or bars and his hocks are not fully covered by the colour yet. The silver background is clear and pristine enhancing his very pleasing colouration and pattern. His coat is somewhat long along his spine but lies well and is very soft to the touch. He was presented in excellent condition and is blessed with a charming disposition; clearly enjoying being handled – a lovely chap!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Class 334 Asian Tabby Kitten</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">1st & BoB Mrs Kemp’s NATZKATZ JABULANI, 72 45sq F, 26-01-2008</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">This young lady had super expression! Very large and lustrous eyes of pale chartreuse more yellow than green set well apart, with lovely shape to upper lid and full generous rounding to her lower lid which really made a big impact! Ears of good size for head, wide at the base, with rounded tip and no tufts, set well apart across her gently rounded head. She has a super short wide wedge, which tapers to a blunt finish and has a level bite. In profile her skull is of good depth, with a rounded brow, a very pleasing nose break with a very tiny bump to her otherwise straight nose, chin of reasonable depth which is set in a straight plane to her nose end. Her medium sized body is of good weight for her size, has a straight back and strong chest. She has medium sized legs which are in proportion to her body, the hind are taller than the fore legs and she has dainty spoon shaped paws. Her tail balances, tapers well to a paint brush end and is of medium thickness. Her deep BCR brown is cooled by the pristine silver background and ticking is evident but still developing; there are two to three bands of ticking however. She has an M to her forehead, a scarab, spectacle lines, super thumb prints to her ears, two broken necklaces, more smudges to her fore legs than her hind legs, a few small spots to her belly and very full hocks. Her coat is a little long but lies very close to her body feeling soft and silky to the touch.

Medium large eyes, colour still developing but showing muddy yellow with an inner green rim at present, set wide apart with correct slant to upper lid and rounded lower lid. Good sized ears set well apart across his gently rounded head, wide at the base with rounded tips and correct profile tilt. Head shows a short wide wedge tapering to a blunt muzzle finish with a bite where the teeth just meet, but due to teething was very slight overshot today. In profile showing a skull of good depth, rounded brow, nose break was disturbed by teething too but was acceptable, a straight nose which fell away slightly to the nose leather, acceptable jaw which was receding slightly today again possibly due to teething. For his age his relatively large body showed excellent weight and muscling, strong chest and straight back. His long legs are in proportion and the hind are taller than the fore legs; all having oval paws. Tail balanced, tapers to a paintbrush end and is of good shape. His coat was short, soft and silky in texture and was of a medium blue with silver developing there was faint ghosting to his hind legs.

Her profile shows a skull of good depth, good rounding to brow, very good nose break, straight nose, and good depth to jaw which was set in correct straight plane to her nose end. She had a compact body which had very good weight for her size, a strong chest and straight back. He legs were medium sized but in proportion to her body, tall hind legs with neat oval paws. Her tail more than balanced, tapered well to a paint brush end but was a trifle thick. Her medium length coat was soft and silky in texture and lies close to her body had very please silvering developing, it was a darker charcoal blue across her back that down her flanks.

Good sized ears set well apart and quite low down the side of his head, wide at the base with rounded tips. Head has short wide wedge that tappers well to a blunt finish with a level bite. In profile he has a skull of good depth, rounded brow and good nose break, a straight nose with a shallow jaw that is set slightly back. His large body was of good weighty and good muscle tone, strong chest and having a straight back. Long legs are in proportion to his body being taller in the hind and having oval paws. Tail balances, tapering to paintbrush tip and is medium thick. His coat is short, soft and silky, medium lilac in tone. Shown in super condition and such a happy boy who handled very well!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">2nd Mrs Akehurst’s CHIRAO PASTICCIO, 27c, M, 08-04-2008</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">A rather apprehensive youngster. It is hard to comment on the size of his eyes as he was not very relaxed, they were set well apart though – again shape was not possible to assess either. Good sized ears set well apart across a correctly rounded head, wide at the base with rounded tips. His wedge appeared to be of medium length but was very wide; he had a level bite but was exhibiting a pronounced muzzle pinch today. He had good depth to his skull, a rounded brow, super nose break and a straight nose, jaw of good depth and set in correct plane to nose end. His large body had very good weight to it with a strong chest and straight back. Proportionately large legs, taller in the hind pair with oval paws. Tail just balanced and tapered well to a rounded finish. His coat was soft and silky of medium length and showing a medium lilac tone. Shown in excellent condition he was rather unsure of himself and preferred to be back in his pen under his blanket.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Class 399b Lilac Kitten Female</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">1st & BoB Mrs Johnson’s VERVAIN CHERRYPLUM, 27c, F, 21-03-2008</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Very petite, sweet and rather edible! Large and lustrous eyes, muddy golden yellow tone and still developing, set well apart with lovely slant to upper lid and fully rounded lower. Ears of good size for head, wide at the base with rounded tips set well apart across a gently rounded top of head. She has a short wide wedge that tapers to a blunt finish with a bite that meets but was slightly concave. Her skull was of pleasing depth with a very good nose break, straight nose, jaw of reasonable depth which was set it the correct plane to the end of her nose. Medium sized body which has excellent weight, a strong rounded chest and a straight back. Her legs are of medium size and in keeping to her body, taller hind legs with large oval paws perhaps indicating more growing to be done. Her tail balances and tapers to a paint brush tip and was of medium thickness. Her short coat was soft and silky to the touch and very fine, she had a lovely pale lilac with hints of pink casting setting it off a treat. Although marginally small for her age she was of super weight and in excellent condition. She was a sweet girl who purred throughout for us!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">2nd Mrs Moore’s DULCAMARA PETRONELLA, 27c, F, 04-07-2008</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Another lovely girl who was surprising tall for her age! Large and lustrous eyes, muddy golden yellow in colour which is still developing, set well apart of correct shape to upper and lower lids. Large ears which are appropriate in such a young kitten, very wide in the base with correct rounding to tips set well apart and quite low down her head already. Her head has a short wide wedge, which tapered to a blunt finish; her bite did meet but the upper teeth were fraction set ahead of the lower but not overshot hopefully just down to teething. In profile her skull had good depth, a rounded brow, acceptable nose break, straight nose, jaw of acceptable depth set slightly back at present. Her body is large for her age but of appropriate weight, a strong chest and a straight back. Her legs are in keeping to her body, with taller hind legs and oval paws. Her tail balanced, tapered to a paint brush finish and was medium thick. Her coat was a fractionally long but soft and silk in texture with a pleasing pale lilac tone with hints of pink developing nicely. Very good condition for her age and behaves beautifully, though is a bit of a chatter box commenting thorough out of encounter.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">3rd Mrs Wilson’s KATZAKIORA TEHYA TABITHA, 27c, F, 09-02-2008</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">A rather sleepy girl who didn’t really show herself off very well. Another girl with large and lustrous muddy golden yellow eyes, set well apart but difficult to assess the shape as she was so very tired and held them somewhat awkwardly! Good sized ears, rather wide at the base with rounded tips set wide across her gently rounded top of head. Her short wedge is of medium width at present with a blunt finish and a level bite. In profile her head shows good depth, a rounded brow, good nose break, straight nose with a small fall off at her nose leather, jaw of acceptable depth but set slightly back. Her large body is not quite as heavy as I was expecting but has she has a strong chest and straight back. Her medium sized legs have spoon shaped paws and the hind legs are appropriately taller than her fore legs. Her tail just balances and tapers slightly to paint brush finish but is somewhat thick having a blunt feel to the final vertebrae. Medium length of coat is soft and silky, lying close to her body a pale lilac in colour and showing hints of pink particularly around her paws at present. Shown in good condition; a very gentle if somewhat dozy girl who needs to show herself off a bit more!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Class 717 AV Foreign Limit Kitten</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">1st Ms Rice’s CORVUS CELESTIAL, 72b, F, 24-05-2008</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">A very sweet young girl who was finding it hard going listening to her rather upsetting Bengal neighbour.

Tail balances and tapers to a paint brush tip and is of good shape. She is a rich deep chocolate, very even and clear coated, coloured to the roots if paling gradually. Her coat is of a good length feeling soft and silky. Shown in very good condition I do hope her noisy neighbour has not put her off showing.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">2nd Ms Leck & Miss Jenkins’ REKSIF DANUBE DANCER, 16a , M, 07-02-2008</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Charming well grown youngster.

Lovely oval shaped eyes which occasionally he held little rounded but very expressive and well set. Ears have super shape and are set well with that special mussel shell look. Head shows high cheek bones and medium wedge with a rounded muzzle and strong having a level bite. Large but elegant body, strong muscles, long legs with dainty paws, tail was fine and tapered well. His coat was super and he was well covered. The texture of his short dense coat was wonderful like crust velvet and a please warm chocolate colour too which was hard to ignore. A very lovely temperament – such a winning personality could have wasted the whole day with him.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Class 746 AC Burmese Breeders Adult</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">A most enjoyable headache I really would have been grateful for 4 first places to offer but they wouldn’t give them to me!</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">1st Mrs Wilshaw’s ROSSIKHAN CUPCAKE, 27b, F, 16-08-2007</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Simple gorgeous – she really is amazing out of her pen!

Large and lustrous pale yellow eyes of excellent shape enhanced by super eye liner effect – giving a wonderful Burmese expression; excellent slant to upper lids enhanced by her attitude and generous rounding to her lower lids. Good sized ears, wide at the base and having rounded tips set well part but not as low as the winner of the class.

Her tail balances, is of very good shape, tapering to a paint brush finish. Her coat was short, soft and silky and a very pleasing soft lilac with pink casting. She was presented in excellent condition, rather upset as I think she’s essentially quite shy and finds the show with all the attention her looks bring a little overwhelming – however the catch twenty two situation results in that attitude encouraging even more attention – super girl unlucky to meet the very laidback winner of this class today!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">3rd Mr & Mrs Tarbuck’s MOLYROSSI SHEWOLF, 27b, F, 17-02-2006</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Class 773 AC Burmese Neuter Male</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">1st Mrs Wilshaw’s PR ROSSIKHAN CARCKER JACK, 27c, MN, 05-10-2007</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Super young man!

Large and lustrous eyes, set well apart with pleasing shape to both upper lid which slants well to the nose and fully rounded lower lid, although the colour is still developing currently they appeared, under the show lighting, to be a light golden yellow in tone. Although her ears are currently dominating her head I was happy to make allowances for her stage of development, they are set well apart and quite low on the side of her head, wide at the base, rounded tips and showing correct forward tile in profile. Head is rounded nicely, with a short wide wedge coming to a blunt finish with a level bite; in profile showing good rounding to brow, good nose break, straight nose, jaw of acceptable depth set in a straight plane with her nose tip.

Tail balances well, is of a pleasing shape, tapering well to a rounded end.

Still a youngster and still developing, pale yellow eyes which he was tending to hood are medium-large in size and set well apart on this medium width head which I would prefer broader for perfection, though his eyes have the correct shape. His ears are large and slight unbalanced for his head at the moment, as his head matures and broadens I suspect they will be more in keeping, they have good width to the base and rounded tips. His head has a medium length and medium width to wedge at present, with a good level bite and blunt muzzle finish. In profile showing skull of good depth, rounded brow, good nose break, straight nose with a jaw of reasonable depth though it recedes slightly. Medium body of good weight is still growing, strong chest and straight back. Long legs are bit gangly at present but with good muscle tone, taller on hind legs with oval paws. Tail balances very well is of medium thickness and tapers to a round finish. His coat is of medium length, lies close to his body, is soft and silky; in colour of a mid blue tone with good silvering coming along nicely!
