The usual smooth running happy Show from Team Robinson – great to be part of.
My thanks go to Paul Esterford-Howard who made the long roundtrip just to steward for me, I hope it was useful for you and you enjoyed your day also.

AC ORIENTAL CHAMPION ADULT MALE

1 & GR CH DAWE’S CH WESTGARTH FOOLSGOLD (37k) 23/3/08

What a lovely start t the day – stylish, well grown and of lovely type. Long wedge with wide set ears, tiny bump to nose, excellent depth of green to his eyes of super expression and set, chin rounds off but bite is level, long neck and firm muscled body, long fine whip and legs. Excellent warm spicy tone to coat – a few seasonal ‘highlights’ to his sides, his coat short and sleek. Very relaxed with perfect manners. I understand this made him Grand. Well done. Later Best Oriental Adult and BOV.

AC ORIENTAL CHAMPION ADULT FEMALE

1 & GR CH MAULE’S TEMPANO ROSA DELALPINO (35) 30/4/07

A mature For White lady of very good overall type. Strong wedge with large ears - she does tend to bonnet them at times – excellent eye shape and set and of dark blue, small pinch and a little square to muzzle lines, straight profile, chin could have a touch more depth for perfection, bite rather messy with a few missing teeth, long slightly portly to body, whip tail that just needs another 1”, elegant long legs and neat paws. Coat short shining and brilliant white – she really was in lovely condition and very dignified.

2 (RES w/h) DAWE’S CH BARBECCO WALLISIMPSON (37e) 4/10/06

I loved the flashy type of this black tortie but she was rather fine and dainty I thought for her age. Long wedge, almost straight profile, slightly sharp to muzzle and chin is shallow, her bite fractionally over, lovely wide ear flare, oriental eyes of pale green, long neck, body a little short and rather lacking in substance – I wondered if she was back on the Bench after maternal duties? Spider legs and fine whip. Super bright red breaks evident throughout her coat and this although rather long was of good texture.

ORIENTAL BICOLOUR ADULT INTERMEDIATE MALE

1 (IC w/h) CHIVERS’ DANDY DES PETITES BAVARDES (48 40) 3/4/08

Seal point and white of fair type, ears of good size but need to be more open to base and they are set forward which unbalances the line, pale blue eyes of god shape, small dip to profile, very shallow chin although bite is ok, long body of good development, tail rather heavy and short, lacks the 1/3 white required I felt, small scattering of his base black forming spots to back of skull, white blaze extending across back of head, clear line along belly and white socks .Coat long but of good texture.

ORIENTAL BICOLOUR ADULT INTERMEDIATE FEMALE

1 (IC w/h)RUDGE’S ASHJOLEX SANDIMESE STORM (48 40n) 4/8/08

Very fine and kittenish caramel and white rather lacking in oriental head type – her ears although of reasonable size are set close and high, pale blue eyes of good shape, dip to profile, chin ebbs a little but bite ok, quite a pronounced pinch and also bump to back of skull, long neck, body needing to lengthen and develop, fine whip and legs. Excellent base of brownish blue tone, her white areas which made up over third were clear and bright in tone, - lovely pink shell tipped ears I noted. White flash to nose, on shoulders and legs. Coat of very good texture.

ORIENTAL TORTIE NEUTER

Considered for and awarded BOB to LEE’S CH & IGP WILLHAVETODO OUIJA BOARD (37p) 27/5/06

A lovely lady and today she was much more relaxed which always adds to the complete package. Needs nothing further for me to add.

AC ORIENTAL LONGHAIR NEUTER MALE

1 PC & BOB PERKIN’S APRIKAT SUMMERHEAT (62 15 d) 3/11/07

Red self who was of overall good type and lovely coat. Strong wedge with ears that wee set following the lines – ideally could be larger. Excellent depth of green to eyes and these of good shape, small rise over brow in profile, firm chin and level bite, long substantial body with length of tail, sturdy legs and paws. Rather dark’ flat’ colour red evident – some surface pattern - his coat was of good texture and followed the bodylines, good furnishings evident.

Also considered for BOB TASKER’S CH &GRPR BUNDOOK OHM MAID (62 43n) 25/11/01

Caramel shaded lady who was not in a good humour today. Still retains super eye colour I have to say – lacks oriental head type and her coat was very ‘fluffy’ and dry – no topcoat to it, dark beige undercoat pushing up the shaft of dark brown/blue tone.

TABBY POINT SIAMESE KITTEN MALE

1 & BOB WEBSTER’S JOMESE JESSE JAMES (32/1/) 6/11/08

Rather small but weighty seal tabby lad, Strong little wedge with small pinch, ears large and open based and a good set when he relaxes, excellent eye shape and colour – haws up fractionally today – tiny bump to nose, good chin and bite, short but sturdy body with a fine whip and quite sturdy legs and large boots to fill! Points rather black toned and lacking some warmth however as a result his tracing are very dramatic, he could do with a few more tail rings though, coat has a degree of warmth to it and only has a few ghost spots evident. Very relaxed young man.

2 BARNES’ MOCHALI LOVEATFIRSTSIGHT (32/3) 24/1/09

Well grown young man with a long wedge and large ears that were unfortunately set close and held high, eyes of a pleasing bright blue set a little straight, tiny dip to profile, chin could be stronger, bite ok, body of good development and feel, long whip. Points well matched but requiring a warmer tone to them - the body colour also a touch cold. Good clear facial racings evident, thumbprints, faint leg bracelets, and clear tail rings for half of length. Coat a little long but good texture.

3 CHILCOTT’S ANUBIS RAVELS BOLERO (32/2) 4/1/09

Solid blue tabby lad who was a bit overawed by proceedings, short wedge with ears of good size but set close and held high, very large round eyes of a pale blue tone, dip and bump to profile, chin very shallow although bite level, solid little body with whip waypoints
Of dark blue – quite well matched, his pattern clear at present although the scarab is starting to ‘smudge’ as happens in dilute tabbies, coat colour a touch too warm. Coat of good length and texture.

TABBY POINT SIAMESE KITTEN FEMALE

2 (1ST W/H) VIGGER’S MAFDET LUCKY CHARM (32t1) 17/11/08

Seal tortie tabby with long wedge - slightly sharp to muzzle, large ears open to base and reasonably well set, tiny dip to profile, eyes of a good shape but lacking depth of colour and with a paler outside rim and showing a permanent squint to both today which precluded the awarding of 1st.Firm chin and level bite long body of good tone and balanced whip, slender legs. Points show warm tabby pattern interspersed with breaks – this could show more brightness to the red, her coat short and polished and warm to tone.

3 MAULE’S FYFIANA SNOWLEOPARD (32/1) 6/2/09

Seal tabby with medium wedge rather square to the muzzle line ears of reasonable size but set high, eyes a little full, of a bright medium toned blue with paler outer rim, dip to profile, short plump body as yet commensurate with age, tail short and rather heavy. Points rather lacking warmth, impressive tail rings for nearly whole of length, clear facials tracings and bracelets to legs. Coat of good texture.

TABBY POINT SIAMESE NEUTER MALE

1 (PC & BOB W/H) COCKWELL’S CARBEILE BOJISTONE (32/1) 13/7/07

Seal tabby lad with a lovely temperament but lacking overall type and style. Medium wedge with ears small in size and set close, eyes a touch full but of very good depth of blue, pronounced bump to nose, chin shallow, bite fractionally over, rather short heavy body and tail. Points of warm seal but rather blurred to pattern however it is obvious he is ticked base, which does not help the cause, heavily shaded, but warm in tone. Coat rather long and open.

TORTIE POINT SIAMESE NEUTER

Considered for BOB but not awarded ROBINSON’S PR NATHIFA DELICATEDREAMER (32b1) 20/6/07

I loved the type of this lady, a really lovely balanced little wedge with good top line however her bite is unfortunately clearly undershot which precluded the award. Points rather back toned seal, and though with the minimum of breaks these do need a little more brightness to the red. Lovely coat qualities.

AC BALINESE NEUTER

1 PC & BOB PERKIN’S APRIKAT SUNDRAGON (61dt) 9/8/08

Promising red tabby lad who was a bit of a grumbler.

Loved the type on this choc pt lad, even broad wedge with minimal pinch, ears large and open based set following the lines, oriental eyes of good depth of colour, chin falls back but bit ok, long and muscular body, balancing whip tail.

1 WALLACE IGP ROZANDEN SIMBA MFALME (32a) 12/4/03

Still retaining his type and elegance this lad, so relaxed and he has kept that aristocratic head carriage – just a little portly in the bodyline now!

another handsome chap, excels in points colour and has retained a deep blue eye colour.

AV NOT WON A PC NEUTER
