Craig Dryden Croydon CC

Thank you so much to Pat and Bill and the Croydon Crew for making me feel so welcome. The show was so warm and friendly and had a super atmosphere and all seemed to enjoy including myself. My friend Karen Holder stewarded for me in her usual expert manner we had a lovely day and I look forward to the next time. Congrats to Beau too !!!

Chocolate Point Siamese Male Kitten

1st (BOB W/H) Wallace’s Rozanden Cosimo M 24B 28.05.09

Huge Masculine Chap with Longer wedge with Wide top and very large well flared ears, Almost straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Oriental deep blue eyes of super expression. Long muscular body well covered with a super coat of lovely texture a shade harsh on spine line. Very Dark bitter Chocolate points fairly well matched and showing some warm tones but in the light in the hall which though not natural was very bright, he almost appeared seal and for me although I liked his type very much,sadly his points were too dark for the standard and felt I had to withhold the BOB. His coat was lightly shaded in tone but rather dark beige, darker than desired. He did have a lovely temperament and was presented impeccably.

Tabby Point Kitten Male

1st(BOB W/H) Bauerfiends Palmira Marcus 32/3 19.06.09 M

Large gentleman rather at Sixes and Sevens today and going through an awkward stage. Overall of good type with a medium slightly pinched wedge, showing a slight dip to profile with rather a shallow chin, with level bite, ideally he required more depth to his head. Large ears that could ideally be larger for overall balance although these were set widely aligned. Oriental eyes of good setting but he can hold them rather full at time, these were an acceptable colour but I would prefer more depth to colour and more expression. Huge long muscular body well developed. Chocolate tabby points defined rather a diffused M and palish leg bars with tail rings that appeared clearer towards the end. Huge paws and rather thick ringed tail that needs an inch for balance. He was very shy but was presented beautifully with a super clear coat of lovely texture. A few too many little faults today precluded the BOB.

Tabby Point Female Kitten

1st (BOB W/H) Bauerfiends Toghar Crystal Gail 32/1 F 16.07.09

Very Fine boned lady rather lean and rangy today and rather lethargic. She was of good overall type with a medium wedge slightly narrow, with large ears fairly well set that ideally need more flare. Oriental eyes of super shape and set, just needing a bit more spark. They were for me very pale blue and in the light had an almost eau de nil rim, not the required deep blue especially for a Seal Tabby. Long narrow body requiring more muscle tone and today with a rather prominent sternum. This was mainly due to the lack of muscle tone at present. Rather cool seal tabby points all well matched with a ticked base clear M and thumb prints with well ringed whip tail to balance. The overall impression was for me too cold and appeared rather black and white and needed more warmth, her coat was a good length but again rather cool and needed to show more warm beige tones. Sweet lady not feeling or looking her best today.

Red Point Male Kitten

1st BOB Davies Rozanden Radzimierz 32A M 01.09.09

Stylish young man of very good type and size for his age with lots of length and shows promise. Longer wedge with almost straight profile with firmish chin with level bite and set with very large well flared ears with good width at the base. Long strong well muscled body with elegant limbs and long whip tail to balance. Rich Bright red points well developed that were well matched. Eyes of good shape and set and of a good blue. Gorgeous sleek coat of super length and texture presented well and unblemished. A Lovely boy for temperament and in super condition. Presented immaculately.

2nd Dents Spiritwind Redd Volturi 32a M 21.10.09

Sweet baby with a shorter wedge with large well set ears, Eyes of good shape and set and good blue. Long body developing well with long limbs and whip tail to balance. Almost straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Very pale point’s colour looking decidedly washed out but without the definition around the edges of his ears etc I would expect in a red point. I suspect that this baby will turn out to be apricot but it was so hard to decipher exactly what colour he was. I did speak to a Full Judge of the breed who wholeheartedly agreed with me that it was too early to say what colour he is but he is likely to be apricot but only time will tell. Super temperament and lovely condition just needing to sort out what colour he will be.

AC Siamese Breeders Adult

1st Owens Ch Pollybee Truly Scrumptious 24C F 10.12.07

What an apt name for this lady, beautifully balanced young lady in superb condition with a lovely medium balanced wedge with super large well set ears with good flare and width at the base. Almost straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Attractive eyes for colour and shape (when she relaxed) gorgeous ermine like coat clear and smooth. Well covered body muscular and well developed. Long elegant limbs and whip tail to balance. A super lady who for me stood out in this class.

2nd Corp’s Ch Pandai Rhianydd 32B1 F 09.03.07

Another attractive lady not quite as polished as the previous lady but nonetheless very attractive. Dark Seal tortie points well broken and mingled with varying shades of red. Medium wedge with almost straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Oriental blue eyes of super shape and expression. Large well set ears balancing the wedge. Long body well covered and long elegant limbs with long whip to balance. Super coat for texture quite shaded but contrast still seen. Attractive lady with sweet temperament.

3rd Holt’s Adateam Sharanz Sakura 24N 18.08.08 F

Pretty lady on full call and desperate to come out and see us. Medium wedge with large ears that need more width between. Oriental eyes of good colour and expression. Almost straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Long muscular body with long limbs and whip tail that needs an inch for balance. Well developed lilac based caramel points with clear taupe tones evident. Lightly shaded coat of good length and super texture. Lovely presentation.

Long muscular body with slightly open coat warm beige coat of good texture, Oriental eyes of a good blue but could do with a smidge more expression. Dark seal tortie points well mingled with varying shades of red. Attractive facial blaze.A pretty lady of super size and substance.

2nd Owen’s Gr Ch Roysterer Snowdandy 24C M 08.09.06

Huge gentleman of good type just lacking for me in the elegance I would desire in the Entire Male Siamese. Medium wedge with slight dip to profile with firm chin and level bite, large ears that ideally need to be larger for balance and have more distance between. Eyes of good shape just slightly full at times and good colour just needs a smidge more expression. Huge long muscular body well covered with a superb coat of gorgeous texture and colour, unshaded and beautifully prepared. Long limbs and whip tail to balance. Super temperament and condition just needing to be a bit finer for me.

3rd Dampier’s Simplisiam Stolen Kisses 24B 27.02.09 M

Young man of 12 months looking very fine and slender for his age. Longer wedge with large ears needing a bit more width between, almost straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Slightly deep set eyes of good colour and oriental shape . Dark but warm chocolate points well matched with good contrast to his clear smooth tight fitting coat. Super texture. Very elegant long limbs and long whip to balance. Attractive person just needing to Butch up.

AC Siamese / Balinese Limit Adult

A/C Siamese / Balinese Breeders Kitten

1st W/H 2nd Dampier’s Dukara Blue Rose 24a F 20.06.09

Rather overlong in the head and needing far more width for balance. Dip to profile with scissor over bite and slightly shallow chin. Almost straight profile. Narrow top with large ears needing much more room between. Long body needing a shade more substance. Very dark blue points all well matched with good cold clear coat. Oriental eyes of good colour and expression. For me this young lady had just too many faults on the day to warrant a first in the breeder’s class!

Stylish youngster looking super today I was surprised it was the same young man I saw a couple of weeks ago! Today he was holding his ears in a far better position and he looked very good. Longer wedge with super wide top set with large flared wide at base ears. Lovely profile with super ‘fat’ nose and firm chin with level bite. Huge long body with long neck which he uses beautifully Long limbs and dainty paws for a boy. Super coat texture, unshaded off white, sludgy lilac based caramel points looking more taupe toned today all well matched and developing well. Super boy looking great today.

2nd Turnbulls Malikasiam Mickaela –May 24c FN 02.05.08

Rude madam in rather bad humour which did not help her look. Medium wedge hea that needs more width on top large ears. Almost straight profile with firm chin and level bite, lovely eyes for colour and shape with super expression. Long well muscled body with long limbs and whip tail to balance. Lilac based caramel points well matched just a bit cool in colour needing more warm toffee tones. Needs to learn some manners! Super condition

AC Siamese or Balinese Breeders Neuter

1st Mason’s Pr Rozanden Rhuaidrie 32a MN 06.06.08

Handled only recently and my comments remain unchanged this is a handsome boy of very good overall type, he just needs a bit more width at the top of his head for better balance and slightly bigger ears, he has a lovely profile with firm chin and level bite. Super rich red points well defined and matched and showing good contrast against his off white coat which was super condition and texture.

2nd Haywoods Pr Monard Cosmic Girl 32/3 FN 12.08.05

Very shy chocolate tabby lady of good balance type very difficult to gain an overall picture as she was very tense, medium wedge with large fairly well set ears and almost straight profile with firm chin and level bite. Warm chocolate tabby points all well traced with M and thumb prints and clear leg bars and good tail rings.Lovely coat of super texture and only lightly shaded so good contrast seen. Eyes of good colour held rather full probably as she was so shy.

3rd Miller’s Gr Pr Pashtan Willie Wonka MN 17.05.05 32/10

Rather long narrow boy again of very good overall type but looking rather lethargic and jaded. Super well developed apricot tabby points showing deep blush tones well defined.
