Jackie Reed

Siamese Cat Asosciation Show 2009

Many thanks to Lilian and Harry for the invitation and to all for a lovely relaxed day at this friendly back to back Show, also to the ladies for the delicious lunch. My fellow Judge Steve Morris stewarded for me and as usual worked tirelessly through BIS – quite like old days!

AC SIAMESE OR BALINESE PREMIER MALE - 24 SERIES

1 & GRPR COPELAND’S GRPR FLOWERDEW GTXPECTATIONS (24) 1year 4 months.

Just lovely – wonderful head, and such a haughty expression! Wide set jug-handle ears, roman profile, muzzle a tad fine and the chin rounds off slightly, level bite, oriental eyes, bright – perhaps needing a little more depth for perfection, minimal pinch, long neck he uses to good advantage, long firm body, whip tail just needs another 1” for balance, long fine legs. Dense seal brown points all well matched, his body shaded and could ideally be a touch warmer but very good contrast. Coat short, close and of excellent texture. Wonderful temperament – so relaxed. Congratulations on Best Neuter later in the day.

2 (Res w/h) HUTCHING’S GR PR WILLHAVETODO SIR PERCY (24n) 3 years

A large substantial caramel chap who was not in the best of moods. Long wedge, chin could be stronger – his bite just over, large ears well set without extremity, slightly full oriental shaped eyes, bright medium tone needing more intensity, small rise over brow long rather plump body and sturdy long legs, tail thick but of good length. Points well matched brown/grey tone, heavily shaded, his coat was very patchwork as he had obviously been plucking a considerable area to his back and sides and although there was growth there it was still rather ‘threadbare’ and precluded the awarding of the cert I am afraid.

AC SIAMESE/BALINESE PREMIER MALE BREED 32 Close run thing on these two but the maturity and magnificent points colour of the winner shone through today.

1 & GR PR PR CHAIRIKKI TRIBAL WARRIOR (32a) 4 years 1 month

Even medium wedge with large ears reasonably set -ideally could have a little more width between – oriental eyes of deep vivid blue (a rare treat) straight profile, small pinch, firm chin and level bite, quite a pronounced bump to back of skull – however this is always exaggerated on older cats I find as flesh tends to come off the head area the older they get. Long body of good weight and feel to him, long whiptail and elegant legs. Points wonderful bright rich reddish gold – paler front stockings as per normal –his coat bright white some tonal flank ‘spots’ Coat well prepared – just a little long. I understand this was his qualifying certificate – well done.

RES GR PR HARRINGTON’S PR LOLUJA CASTINGASPELL (32/10) 1year 9 months

Very stylish apricot tabby. Long wedge with large ears that need a little more width between to balance the length, almost straight profile, firm chin and level bite, slightly deep set eyes of good shape and medium blue tone, long well nourished and muscular body. Long strong legs whip tail. Warm apricot tabby markings – would like to see a little more intensity of colour to them by now, overall well defined pattern. Body shaded but sufficient contrast. Coat of excellent texture, short and close.

AC SIAMESE/BALINESE PREMIER FEMALE

1 & GR PR FREEMAN’S CH & PR SOWHYNOT SERENDIPITY (24c) 3 years 9 months

Nicely balanced lady with an even wedge, ears are well set but could be a little larger, lovely eye shape and set and of a good depth of colour, almost straight profile, good depth to her chin and nice clean even bite, has a lovely neckline, body long well nourished, her tail is a good whip but needs another inch or two, long legs. Points a touch dark but show a pinky tone to a dove grey, some tonal shading but this does not detract, coat excellent just a little long. Congratulations on Best Female Neuter.

2 (RES GR PR w/h) DINSDALE’S GRCH & PR APPLEJACK BLUEFENIX (32b2) 5 years 4 months.

Rather matronly looking blue tortie. Medium wedge rather square to muzzle, ears of good size – need to be more open to base and more width between, eyes of good shape and set and of a pleasing depth of blue although a little dull, rise to brow in profile, good chin and lovely white teeth to her level bite, body very heavy and lacking elegance, tail also short and thick and with tiny end defect. Very dark blue points intermingled with carrying cream tones- some rather hot; her coat was rather coarse to the feel.

CARAMEL POINT MALE NEUTER

Considered for BOB but not awarded: HUTCHING’S GR PR WILLHAVETODO SIR PERCY (24n) 3 years

TORTIE POINT ADULT FEMALE

1 CC & BOB POUNDS’ CH JOMESE MANYDOTS (32B1) 1 year 10 months

A very stylish seal tortie lady. I loved her short strong wedge and wide ear flare, eyes touch full and ideally could have more depth of colour, almost straight profile, chin rounds very slightly but bite ok, lovely neck and length of body, fine whip, lengthy legs. Warm dark seal points well broken with lovely bright red /gold - aptly named! Warm coat with tonal patching, excellent short close texture to her coat. Congratulations on Best Adult Female and Best Adult.

CHOCOLATE POINT SIAMESE BREEDERS ADULT

2 (1st w/h) MORGAN’S ASTRALBLAESE ATALANTA F 1 year 2 months

Long wedge with pronounced pinch, ears of a good size and reasonable set, dip to profile, eyes slightly straight bit good shape and brilliance, firm depth to chin – a little narrow – bite undershot, fine body needing to mature, balancing whip and elegant legs. Points dark although show a degree of warmth, patchy to mask with ‘specs’ and white whisker pads. Coat of 1st class texture, warm ivory tone.

ADOLESCENT ADULT MALE

1 MULLEN’S FOXYPAWS ERICSSON (32fn) 1 year

A well grown masculine lad with a strong wedge and large ears – ideally these could have a little more width between, his eyes I term ‘upside down eyes’ in as much they are straight across top lid but have a pleasing shape to lower lid, of very good depth of blue, straight profile although his forehead is rather long at present to the eye to nose level however he is still young and developing, firm depth to chin and level bite, very long firmly muscled body and length of balancing whip tail, stands tall. Points of a rather warm cream at present and needing to develop a hot dusky tone, coat of warm off white with tonal shading to flanks - his coat of super texture. Congratulations on Best Adult Male.

2 SIMPSON’S SHERMESE PRIME SUSPECT (24) 9 months 1 week

A baby faced seal lad who was rather worried by it all. Medium wedge with large ears that could be a little more open to the base although reasonably well set, eyes full in shape although of a good depth to them, tiniest of dips to profile small pinch, chin could be stronger but bite ok, body growth commensurate with age although still to develop a real hard masculine feel to it, tail heavy although of good length, quite sturdy legs. Point s touch cold and his body also needing more warmth to it, coat of good texture although a little long.
