AOV SLH PREMIER NEUTER MALE

GR PC MRS E WATTS’S CH & IGR PR EMANAN BOOTSTRAP BILL (63c) MN 15/7/05

Blue Somali with a typical Somali smile and very laidback temperament. Body firm and graceful, lithe, muscular and of medium size. Long legs with oval feet and tufts between the toes. Head is a moderate wedge showing gentle contours on his brow, cheek and profile lines. Ears are set wide apart, broad at the base, proportionately large and tufted. Inner edges are well tufted. Eyes large, almond shaped, set obliquely and hazel in colour. A shallow indentation forms the muzzle from the front and in profile he has a slight nose break. Level bite. My overall impression is of a coat that is a soft blue with chest, belly, under tail, inside of legs and breeches a warm mushroom. The base coat is cool oatmeal. Ticking, ear tips and tufts, facial markings, top and tip of tail, toe tufts and heels are blue. Tail long and well furnished, in proportion to his body.

Lovely temperament, just loved being handled.
