Open Classes

Siamese/Balinese Grand Champion

1 (IGCC N/A) Caney's GRCH MERRYTAIL KEZIAH MY JOY (SIA n 21) F 24 Jan 14
A girl of superior type still appearing rather juvenile. Long wedge with a small pinch, needing a little more width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of good basic shape though a little full, well set and of a good depth of blue. Long slender body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction. Marked in a good warm seal, single ribbon and good thumbprints, rather blurred 'M', fairly good leg bars, tail half ringed but the rings could be clearer. Heavily shaded body, very short close coat a little harsh in texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Siamese/Balinese Grand Premier

1 (IGPC N/A) Webb's GRPR TENAJ MERLIN (SIA a) MN
A lad of good type. Long wedge with a small pinch, a little narrow at the top, well set ears of adequate size. Straight profile, firm chin, level bite lacking most incisors. Eyes rather small and deep set, of a good depth of blue. Long body, rather lightweight and lacking in muscle, long legs with neat paws, long tail. Points a darkish blue, lightly shaded body, coat a little long and rather open, but he was penned in one of the colder more drafty areas of the hall. Superb temperament, excellent presentation. I'm afraid that for me he lacks the type necessary for an award at this level.

Oriental Lilac Adult

BOB Rees's GRCH JUANNRE LOVELY LUKE M 17 May 14
A lad of good type. Medium length even wedge, a little short in the muzzle, good width at the top, well set large ears. Slight dip in profile, chin ebbs slightly, bite almost level. Eyes of very good shape and set, of quite a good green. Long well-fed muscular body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction. Colour a marginally dark lilac, slightly unsound. Short close coat of excellent texture. Super temperament, excellent presentation.

Oriental Lilac Kitten

1 BOB Debowska's JUANNRE TOUCH-OF-FROST F 13 Jul 15
A well grown and attractive girl of good type. Medium length even wedge, wood width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile other than a shallow depression above the brow, not a problem at this age, firm slightly shallow chin, bite level. Eyes of good shape though she does open them rather wide when out, well set and of a good green colour. Proportionate firm body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Colour a good lilac coloured to the roots, slight ghost ringing to the tail. Short close coat of very good texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.
2 Simpson's KYOMI CRYSTAL TIPS 30 Jun 15

Eyes of good shape though a trifle full, well set and of a good green colour. Long substantial body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Colour a good lilac though slightly unsound, slight ghost markings in evidence to hind legs and tail, short close coat of very good texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Seal Point Siamese Adult Female

1 CC BOB Morgan's JOMESE SIAMAZING-JETSETTER 24 Oct 14
A girl of good type and just adequate maturity. Longish even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile, firm slightly shallow chin, level bite. Eyes of good shape and set, I'd prefer a slightly deeper shade of blue. Points of a good seal, a little brindled to the mask, lightly shaded body, coat a fraction long but close lying and of excellent texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Blue Point Siamese Adult

1 (CC N/A) Bedford's ADIFTAM CHICORY BLUE M 23 Aug 14
A lad of fair type. Medium length rather blunt wedge, rounded muzzle, needs rather more width at the top, large ears set rather high. Profile a little flat over the forehead and angled down from the brow, chin has adequate bite but ebbs slightly, bite messy but basically level. Eyes rather small but of good shape, set straight, of quite a good blue colour. Darkish blue points, moderately shaded body, coat rather long but close lying and of good texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Tabby Point Siamese Adult Female

BOB Caney's GRCH MERRYTAIL KEZIAH MY JOY (SIA n 21)

Tortie Point Siamese Adult

BOB Keoghan's CH ALDERSTAR BABYBEL (SIA r) F 28 Oct 14
An attractive girl of very good type. Longish even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Profile shows a very shallow depression above the brow, made to look worse than it is by a slightly raised brow. I'd prefer a more vertical line to the front of the head but the chin is firm and bite level. Long muscular rather wriggly body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Very attractive fawn points mingled with shades of warm cream, lightly shaded body, short close coat of excellent texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Seal Point Siamese Kitten Female

1 BOB Entwistle's GABLME SHE'S THE ONE 6 Jun 15
A girl of good type. Longish even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile other than a slight rise at the brow, firm very deep chin, level bite. Eyes of good shape and set, which would ideally be a slightly deeper shade of blue. Long slender body, could ideally carry a little more weight and the manubrium a little prominent in consequence. Long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Point a dark warm seal rather brindled to the mask, lightly shaded warm toned body, short close coat of excellent texture. A bit of feisty to handle but not really difficult, excellent presentation.
