AC Siamese / Balinese Champion, Male
GCC Linklater's GR CH SIMPLISIAM SMOOTH TALKER (24c) 3 Jun 06
An attractive mature lad of excellent type, though the attraction was not mutual. Longish even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Profile almost straight, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of very good shape and set, of a very good depth of blue. Long muscular body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Points mostly a good lilac though the lighting was of no help in determining this, the tail a little sandy in colour, magnolia body lightly shaded over the hips and the top of the head. Close coat of very good texture. Excellent presentation.
2 (Res GCC N/A) Gibbons's CH RICHDALE SHA TIN (32/1) 25 Sep 06
A strong lad of good type. Long wedge a little weak in the muzzle, good width at the top, large ears which he tended to flatten. Straight profile, fairly firm chin, bite a little over and missing one lower canine making it look a bit odd. Eyes of good shape and set though set a little wide apart, of an excellent depth of blue. Long firm body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra inch or two to balance. Well marked in a good seal, clear "M", double ribbons, good thumbprints and leg bars, tail about half ringed. Warm cream body lightly shaded except for very heavy shading over the top of the head giving little contrast. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Foreign White Adult, Male
1+CC+BOB Bauerfeind's GR CH SHIMILEETA INDIANPRINCE 4 Jun 05
A handsome masculine lad of excellent type, who would do himself more justice if only he would relax. Long even wedge showing some jowling, good width at the top, well set large ears. Small dip in profile, firm deep chin, level bite. Eyes of very good shape and set and good depth of blue. Long well fed muscular body, long legs with neat paws, tail needing an inch or two to balance. Colour a good pure white, the fur rather sparse over the top of the neck - had he been a female I would have been in no doubt why - close coat of otherwise very good texture. Excellent presentation
Also considered for BOB Bauerfeind's GR CH SHIMILEETA IWASBORNTOLOVEU 7 May 05
A mature boy of very good type, but even more difficult to assess. Long even wedge but lacking the strength of the other boy, quite jowly, good width at the top, well set large ears. Dip in profile, chin ebbs slightly, bite level. Eyes of very good shape and set, of a good depth of blue. Long muscular body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra inch or two.

Oriental Lilac Adult, Female
1 (CC N/A) PLEZETOBE PURE FATE 22 Mar 07

Straight profile, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of very good shape and set, of a deepish but slightly yellowy green. Long slender body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction and a little blunt at the tip. Colour a rather dark lilac, looking a little brown toned but since all the lilacs appeared so I put it down to the hall lighting, faint ghost rings on the tail, colour distinctly unsound along the back, my main reason for not awarding the certificate, not quite sound elsewhere on the body. Close coat of excellent texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.
