A.V. BRITISH IMPERIAL GRAND CHAMPION

This was such a difficult class they were two stunning boys and boy worthy of a certificate.

1. I.G.C.C. BROWN’S GR CH KOLINGA JAGUAR (16) M 18/06/07

Blue. A very large teddy bear with a superb nature a joy to handle. Round faced with full cheeks and good smooth skull between small round tipped ears that fit neatly into the contours of his head. Large round deep orange eyes, short broad nose with slight curve but balanced well by his full cheeks, level bite and good chin. Lovely cobby shape to body with depth to chest, short level back all held on short well boned legs with large firm round paws. Short dense sound mid blue coat, thick tail a little on the short side.

2. Res I.G.C.C. HAZEL’S GR CH WYREWOOD CONQUEROR (79S 15) 06/07/07

Black. A super natured boy, round broad head with wide top between fractionally small ears, large round well opened eyes, short nose with slight curve when viewed in profile, full cheeks and rounded muzzle with cute curly whiskers, level bite and firm chin. Very well boned frame with depth to shoulders and rump with sturdy legs and firm round paws. Super coat thick and dense it stands well from his body and is covered with loose individual curls, medium length tail with compact curls.

A.C. COLOURPOINTED ADULT MALE

1. C.C. B.OB. RICHARDS’S NANNKAY JAC (40 4) M 26/04/05

Lilac Colourpointed. Well this boy has certainly been to charm school, he was a delight to handle his head butting and purring were designed to woe any judge. Well rounded head with good width between medium sized ears set well on the side of his head, large round eyes a good blue colour, full cheeks and rounded muzzle, level bite and good chin. Good sized frame with deep chest and short sturdy limbs, super very short dense coat, good definition to mask and points, clear magnolia white body colour, balanced length fully coloured tail.

2. HAZELWOOD’S ALTHAUS DRUSUS AQUILINUS (40 1) M 24/08/08

Seal Colourpointed. A lovely young boy with a lot of promise looking more pretty than butch at the moment. Slightly small round head with medium width to top the ears are a fraction on the large side for balance, large round eyes a stunning blue colour, cheeks developing small but round at the moment as is his muzzle, level bite and fair chin. Good boning to frame he just need to fill out more which will come with time, short coat with firm texture fully defined mask and points he has some shading to his warm fawn body colour, slightly long tail with pointed tip.

3. CHESTERMAN’S CHURCHBELLES MIGHTY MERLIN (40 2) M 01/11/05

Blue Colourpointed. A very tense boy who didn’t show himself well, quite round head with wide top and well set small ears, round eyes a pale blue colour with a slight shaking movement to the pupil I think this may have been because he was unhappy. Broad straight nose, his cheek are fairly full just a little square to his muzzle, level bite and fair chin. Good size body and frame with sturdy boned limbs, short dense coat, points well defined the mask seems to merge onto his head and shoulders, he also has heavy body shading, balanced length tail.

A.C. COLOURPOINTED ADULT FEMALE

1. C.C.WADE’S RODWAYE DIONETTA (40 10) F 28/07/07

Lilac Tortie Colourpointed. A sweet girl, well rounded head with medium width between ears that are a fraction on the large side, huge round eyes it was difficult to asses the colour as her pupils were so dilated, short straight nose, her cheeks are quite small and need to fill out more as does her muzzle, level bite and fair chin. She has good boning to a well filled frame which does make her head look a fraction unbalanced, short firm coat with good texture, fully defined mask and points with both colours visible, medium tail with rounded tip.

2. FIGGINS’S DIXYLAN AUSTRIANDREAM (40 13) F 25/03/09

Chocolate Tabby Colourpointed. Young , pretty but adolescent is the best way to describe her all she needs is some time and I think she will be gorgeous. Round head with slightly narrow top and fractionally large ears, large round expressive eyes with a good blue colour developing. Short straight nose, cheeks and muzzle developing, short coat that needs to crisp, good definition to mask and points with tabby pattern clearly visible, fractionally long ringed tail with rounded tip.

A.C. SELF OR COLOURPOINTED CINNAMON/FAWN ADULT

1. I.C. B.O.B. FOUNTAIN’S BEACHBUOY BOYD (15r) M 07/04/09

Fawn. This boy was lovely but I do have to say when I first saw him he was so pretty I thought he was a girl, he’s just at that stage. Well rounded head with good width between well set but large ears that were quite wide to the base, large round expressive eyes a nice orange colour. Short nose with rather a curve when viewed in profile he will need to fill out his cheeks to balance this up, his muzzle is also a little on the square side. Good boning to frame just a little long in the body, he will be a large boy when he fills out, short coat with super density slightly unsound and with a few ghost markings, the rosy mushroom colour required was difficult to assess in this hall light, rather long tail with point to tip.

A.C. SELKIRK REX KITTEN

1. B.O.B. HAZEL’S WYREWOOS CHARLIES ANGEL (79S 15) F 16/07/09

Black. A sweet girl developing well, head rounding with smooth skull between medium sized ears she held these rather high. Super large round eyes with the colour developing from round the pupil, short nose with downward slant, her muzzle is filling and there is a clear rectangular impression, level bite and fairly strong chin. Not a bad size with good boning to frame, coat developing nicely with curls starting be evident, medium thick tail.

BRITISH BLACK NEUTER

B.O.B TO HEMMING’S CH & GR PR HINDERSLYNE BLACK HEMLOCK (15) MN 17/08/07

A large softie with superb coat.

BRITISH BLUE NEUTER

1. P.C. B.O.B. GRAY’S MILETREE OFFSHOREMOON (16) FN 28/05/04

A large gentle girl with super expression, full round head with wide top and low set ears just a little large for balance plus wide to the base, round deep orange eyes, short broad nose with full cheeks and rounded muzzle, level bite and good chin. Cobby shaped body very solid and slightly well filled held on short firm legs with large round paws. Short dense coat with a firm texture, a sound mid blue with just a little scurfy in places, medium thick tail with rounded tip.

BRITISH CREAM NEUTER

1. P.C. B.O.B PR STONNALL FLYBOY (17) MN 15/05/08

At first this boy was very unhappy and I wasn’t sure if we would be able to judge him but he did settle down. Good development to head with nice full cheeks, wide top and well set medium sized ears, super expressive round orange eyes, broad straight nose, level bite and good chin. Large well filled frame with width to chest and flanks and sturdy boning to legs, short dense coat a pale cream, free from any ghost markings, balanced length tail with rounded tip.

2. PALMER’S PR ZINGFRO LEO (17) MN 26/07/06

This boy was a total softie and couldn’t work out why the chap next door wasn’t happy, despite being much older he still seemed a little baby faced. Round head with medium top and well set fractionally large ears, nice round orange eyes, his cheek and muzzle are rather shallow, short straight nose, level bite and weak chin. Well filled body that rather makes his head look unbalanced, but I bet he’s a happy boy. Short coat with good density fairly sound but a very hot cream, balanced length tail.
