OPEN CLASSES

AC SIAMESE/BALINESE IMPERIAL GRAND PREMIER MALE Two fabulous neuters.

IGP, MUSSON’S GR PR MEILLAND MY KINDA GUY. (24) 29.6.06.

Seal Point Siamese. Extremely handsome boy excelling in true seal point body and points colour - so rarely seen these days and ultimately this was the deciding factor for me between the two of them. Long strong wedge head, beautifully balanced by large wide based ears, set well apart to follow the lines of his wedge. Good profile, very nearly straight, his chin has good depth, the bite level. Gorgeous expressive oriental eyes, excellent for shape and set, the colour not quite sapphire but bright and vivid in tone. Very long, hard and muscular body with elegant neckline. Stands proudly on long slender legs. Lovely long fine whip tail in perfect balance. Superb warm seal brown points all dense and well matched. Warm creamy beige body with minimal shading – contrast excellent. Coat short and close fitting, beautifully prepared and presented for his day out. I was informed later by his delighted owner that this was his qualifying Certificate – well deserved – congratulations.

RIGP, COPELAND’S GR PR FLOWERDEW GTX PECTATIONS. (24) 2.2.08.

Seal Point Siamese. Superbly stylish lad – extremely flashy, what a pity that I could not award 2 Imperials!! Long strong wedge head, just slightly fine on the muzzle, his ears very large, wide at the base, beautifully set and flared. Strong profile, deep firm chin, level bite. Lovely expression to oriental eyes, the colour has good depth, but for perfection could be a touch more intense. Very long, hard and muscular body with long elegant neckline. Long tall legs, stands beautifully, long whip tail in balance. Dense seal brown points all well matched, his body shaded and overall could be a touch warmer but there is very good contrast. Coat short, close and of excellent texture. Wonderful temperament - beautifully prepared and presented.

CARAMEL POINT ADULT FEMALE

BOB, MORGAN’S GR CH ASTRALBLAESE ANDROMEDA. 21.11.04.

A pleasing queen of good type, rather dainty overall but of very good weight and balance. Mid length wedge head with large ears, wide at the base and very well set. Good profile with a firm chin, her teeth rather untidy but the bite appeared level. Oval eyes, expressive and of bright vivid blue. Long firm body with slim legs and dainty feet. Whip tail in balance. Well matched lilac based caramel points. Un-shaded off white body, her coat a touch long but well prepared and close lying. Delightful temperament – excellent presentation.

CC w/h, 1 MORGAN’S ASTRALBLAESE APHRODITE. 22.3.08.

Of good overall type and balance, but small for her age at the moment - looking very immature and kittenish. Mid length wedge head with large well set ears. Profile not quite straight – still has a very small depression evident. Firm chin, level bite. Very good oriental shape and set to bright china blue eyes. Long slender body, needs to develop her muscle tone. Long slim legs. Long fine whip tail. Well matched lilac based caramel points with clear brownish overtones showing, particularly noticeable on her ears and tail. Un-shaded off white body – her coat long and open today. Presentation and temperament both excellent.

BALINESE ADULT FEMALE

CC & BOB, WOODHOUSE’S DORAL INYOURDREAMS. (61e) 22.6.07.

Seal Tortie Point. Attractive and of good overall type and balance. Shorter even wedge head with large well set ears. Very good profile, firm chin, teeth somewhat higgledy piggledy but the bite level enough. Lovely deep blue eyes – good for shape and set, held just a touch full. Long body, firm and very well toned. Elegant legs, feet not too big! Tail well plumed – ½” more would benefit. Points all beautifully mingled - warm seal brown with lovely rich bright red in evidence throughout. Warm beige body shows minimal shading – the coat of good length, beautifully prepared, silky in texture and lying correctly along her body. Delightful temperament – made up to Champion today I hear, congratulations.
