OPEN CLASSES

Imperial Class Male

IMP Mrs P Browning's GR CH PIPPASTRO HAWKMOTH 61n M 05.05.07

Magnificent caramel Balinese boy very handsome indeed, strong even wedge, broad topline large low set ears with good furnishings, oriental bright blue expressive eyes, roman profile just a little flat on top, firm chin and level bite, elegant neck, long muscular body, tall big legs and large tufted paws, tail needs to be longer to balance but the plume was ok, pale brownish grey points colour, off white coat which was a acceptable length, a little flat today but he is a entire male and a working boy full of raging hormones so it does affect their coat, he has a perfect laid back temperament shown and presented perfectly, he certainly is the best Balinese I've seen.

Imperial Classes Female

IMP MRS CCL Knowlson's GR CH DRESTOTHRIL SILK DRAWERS 32bi F 03.06.06

Very flashy seal tortie love her ears, longish wedge, huge open based ears set low, oriental eyes mid blue in colour just a little dull but she had a wicked look, small bump on nose, untidy bite, firm chin, graceful neck, very long rangey body, tall legs neat paws tail to balance, seal brown points colour mingled well with tones of reds. Lovely blaze down her face, short soft beige coat with tonal shading, shown and presented as always beautifully just a touch grumpy today.

RES Mrs J Pound's GR CH JOMESE JENUINELY GORJUS 32a F 04.05.06

Another lovely girl looking more mature now, balanced type, medium length wedge. Large open based well placed ears, expressive cornflower blue eyes, straight profile, level bite, firm chin, elegant neck, long well toned body, dainty legs and paws, tail to balance, pale red points colour, creamy white short close coat, shown in tip top condition, not too happy out of the pen today, think her bark is worse than her bite.

Imperial Grand Premier Male

Mrs J Pound's IMP GR PR JOMESE JACKTHELAD 24a MN 07.04.05

One of my favourites i love blue points, not a lot to add, looking good today, elegant boy with such good blue eye colour, and superb pale blue points colour, typey boy with superb temperament, shown in pristine condition as always.

RES Mr HC and Dr L. Davies GR PR RENDZINA CAPTAIN SCARLET 32a MN 21.04.05

This mature red point neuter looks better every time i see him, he hasn't got quite the ear size and flair of the winner but he has such a masculine head, although his eye shape is correct and his colour is blue i would prefer it to have more depth, strong well toned firm body, long tapering tail, bright red points colour paler on legs and paws, creamy white coat with the tonal shading presented most beautifully relaxed as always and easy to handle!

Oriental Lilac Kitten

Well grown kitten with a few faults long wedge with pinch, the ears were of good size requiring a touch more width between, bright green eyes that were rather full in shape, uneven profile, level bite, chin okay, the lilac colour coat was two tone a good colour on head and neck but darker on the body and it was unsound in places, elegant neck, well nourished body sturdy legs and paws, tail to balance with a terminal fault, shown in perfect condition, but i didn't like the dark cat litter with the two lovely white blankets, excellent temperament.
