DR BRUCE BENNETT.

A large and exciting Show, themed as ‘Here comes summer’, with, in honour of this theme, some judges displaying remarkable knees beneath splashy shirts and appropriate Bermuda shorts. My thanks to Helen, Sue and Sean for their invitation to judge and gracious hospitality and to Graham Haggar for stewarding with his usual good humour and efficiency.

GR CC to OWEN’S GR CH ROYSTERER SNOWDANDY. M. (24c) 8.9.06.

Stunning big boy on whom I have reported several times . Very strong masculine wedge adorned by ears of good size that are well set, though he sometimes turns them just a little out when bored. Super oriental shape to his eyes with good depth of blue and languid expression. Strong, slightly curved profile, depth of muzzle, impressive canines, irregular incisors meeting. Huge strong body with limbs and tail in keeping. Coat texture good, short length, perhaps slightly thick with quite wonderful pinky grey points and totally unshaded magnolia body for contrast; exemplary. Later Best Siamese Adult; congratulations.
