OPEN CLASSES
Lilac Point Siamese Male
1st CC BOB MORGAN’S CH ASTRALBLAESE PEGASUS (24c) M 28.05.06Mature lilac male I have met before, he has a super temperament, calm and friendly.

Large ears, fairly open based very well set ears. Long body, firm and muscular, long legs and neat paws. Tapering tail of length to balance. Still almost clear magnolia coat, short and rather fluffy, points of rather dark grey toned lilac points. Shown in very good condition and comfortably presented.
Lilac Point Siamese Female
1st (CC withheld) SINGLE’S SINOPE FERN (24c) F 24.07.08Shy retiring lilac queen, we did give her time to settle and came back but although promising in type with quite a strong wedge head and very good topline, she is still very adolescent and needs more time to mature into adulthood. Almost straight profile, level bite and firm chin. Expressive oriental eyes of a good depth of blue. Large flared very well set ears. Long svelte body, long legs, dainty paws. Long fine tail. Short fine textured coat of almost clear magnolia with good pale grey toned lilac points colour. Excellent condition and comfortably presented.
Red Point Siamese Male
1st CC BOB ARMSTRONG’S CH JOHPAS RED ROUE (32a) M 19.10.07Stunning type to this young red point male, so handsome with a strong equilateral wedge head with broad topline. Profile almost straight, good bite and chin. Expressive eyes of a good depth and brightness of blue, very oriental in set and shape. Large ears with excellent openness at base and set following the lines of the wedge. Long svelte body, long legs, neat paws. Long tapering tail. Coat clear warm white, a touch long and which he will fluff out, doing himself no favours, although it is with love and excitement! Good reddish gold points colour. Excellent condition and presentation.
Tortie Point Siamese Adult
1st CC BOB STOKES’ CH LITTLEFEAT TATTOO HEART (32b1) F 26.11.05Beautiful tortie queen who was buried under her mound of pristine blankets!

Large wide based very well set ears. Elegant neckline, lengthy svelte body, long legs, neat paws. Good length tapering tail. Coat short and sleek with fairly heavy shading but still contrast and rather dark seal points all very well broken with mainly pale red. Very good to handle, excellent condition.
Blue Point Siamese Kitten (14 wks – 6 mths)
1st OWEN’S WANDERING MAGGIES PRIME (24a) F 17.10.08Slightly small for her age, a dainty girl with a rather narrow wedge, small pinch and needing a touch more width across the topline to balance. Small rise between eyes on profile, bite just over, shallow chin. Oriental set and shape to eyes of deep brilliant blue. Large ears fairly well set. Long fine boned body, long slim legs, dainty paws. Tapering tail of balanced length. Short fine textured coat, very lightly shaded with rather dark blue points colour. Delightful temperament, shown in excellent condition and comfortably presented.
Blue Point Siamese Kitten (7 – 9 mths)
1st BOB SIBLEY’S ATARIQ SIAN (24a) F 28.08.08Promising blue point kitten, well grown and developed, already with strength to her almost straight wedge head with balanced topline. Straight profile, neat level bite, firm chin. Expressive deep dark blue eyes, oriental in set and shape. Large wide at base very well set ears. Lengthy well nourished body, long slender limbs. Extra long fine tail. Sleek short coat already shaded but with plenty of contrast. Points slightly darker blue than my preference and I did hesitate over the BOB because of this, but felt it was acceptable today and I hope the colour does not darken further. Rather tense to handle, very well shown and presented.
Seal Point Siamese Neuter
1st PC BOB COPELAND’S PR FLOWERDEW GTX PECTATIONS (24) MN 02.02.08This very stylish seal point has really grown up and balanced since our last meeting, very tall, lengthy and elegant with a longer wedge, pinch and wide top of head.

2ND RUDKIN’S PR AMYDAY INCA WARRIOR (24) MN 15.10.04Huge and mature seal neuter whom I would have been happy to award the certificate to, had the winner not been present!

Oriental set and shape to eyes of the deepest blue. Large open based very well set ears. Long heavy body, long legs, neat paws. Balanced length to tapering tail.
