Lincolnshire & Humberside - 27 July 2014

Thanks to Beryl, Judy and the show committees for the invitation to judge. The show seems to attract the hottest weather of the summer, but thanks to the number of fans and open netted doors, conditions were bearable. The bright lighting seemed to drain the colour from almost all Siamese eyes, and I had to make some allowance for that; on the other hand, it flattered the colour of many Orientals, with those I had seen before appearing a truer green than previously.

Open Classes

Humberside AC Oriental Premier Male

GPC Hardy's GR CH & PR PIPPASTRO JAY SILVERHEELS (OLH ds 11) 24 Feb 11
A large mature lad of excellent type. Medium length even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile, firm deep chin and level bite. Eyes of excellent shape and set appearing a palish olive green. Long muscular body, well nourished but not so much so as to unbalance him, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra inch. Colour a slightly pale red (not unexpected in a silver), pure silver undercolour to the bottom four fifths, little tabby pattern visible on the surface. Coat shorter than I would ideally like to the back and upper sides, but still acceptable, better elsewhere, good plume and attractive furnishings to ears and feet, with an excellent soft silky texture. Handled well though not over-eager to show himself off, excellent presentation.
