Bob only WALL’S GR CH SHEERBLISS ENRICO 70 31a, M 14.4.07. Blue & White Bicolour Exotic. A huge male that I have had the pleasure of judging before, it was a pleasure to be able to award his BoB. At almost 2 years this male has it all, excellent body conformation & weight supported on thick short legs with a short tail to balance. His head is large & round with great width between small well set ears, smooth rounded forehead, round copper eyes, short nose, full cheeks, firm chin & level bite. Expertly prepared coat of mid blue which is sound to the roots with clean white areas. His coat is plush, standing well away from his body without a hint of shading anywhere. Wonderful to handle, he later got his Imperial Gr Ch, congratulations to his owner & his breeder.
AC Silver Tabby Kitten
1st & BoB ROGERS PICWICK TINKERBELLE 7, F 24.7.08. Silver tabby Persian. What a beautiful looking little girl. She is 1 month away from being an adult but has used her time well, not overly large but with very good weight, conformation standing on short fat legs with large round tufted paws & a full furnished wee tail. She has lovely balanced type, excellent width between small well placed ears, round skull, large & bold round pale copper eyes. Nose is short with brick leather outlined in black, full cheeks, firm chin with a slightly undershot bite. She is obviously in the middle of a coat change, down sides & flanks the coat has a silky feel, along her spine line much harsher but new coat coming through, still a little woolly round her neck & tummy area, coat is very good length. Quite good tabby pattern showing ‘M’ to forehead with lines going over head & down to shoulders with butterfly displayed very well, unbroken lines from outer corner of eyes, pencil lines on cheeks & spotted whisker pads. Today lacks spine lines due to coat change, displaying oysters on flanks & spotted tummy, tail is ringed but all tabby markings diffused due to coat length. Legs barred with bracelets from body to feet with spotted toes. She is showing minimal tarnishing or possible staining to face with the same down area of spine line & unbroken necklaces to neck & chest. A beautiful baby that was a dream to handle that went on to win BIS Persian Kitten.
Blue-Cream Kitten
1st & BoB WEATHERLEY’S PICWICK HAPPYTHOUGHTS 13, F 12.11.08. Well she certainly lives up to her name, what a little poppet. At 4.1/2 months she is such a cute baby with wonderful expression & type. She has excellent top of head with tiny well placed ears complete with medium blue cream furnishings, smooth forehead, large round pale copper eyes, short nose with small nostrils & reduced blue leather, full cheeks, firm chin & scissor bite. Cobby shape supported on short fat legs with well covered short tail. Her coat is medium length & had been expertly stripped of guard hairs, pastel blue & cream intermingled plus showing some small patches on body which would be less obvious on a longer coat. Both colours to face & tail, all legs showing blue & cream, left front paw with large cream area to front of paw with back right foot blue. This didn’t detract from the overall impression of a delightful baby who was a dream to handle.

Narrow top of head with ears needing to drop, smooth skull, round pale copper eyes. She has a short nose; cheeks need to fill out, firm chin & narrow undershot bite.
