Siamese Grand Champion, Male

1 (GCC N/A) Pounds's CH THAISTAR TRAILBLAZER (SIA n) M 17 Jun 13
A handsome lad of good type. Longish even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile other than a small bump on the nose, firm rather shallow chin, level bite. Eyes of good shape and set, and they appeared of a reasonable depth of blue in the pen, but alas when taken out of it I could see that their colour faded to a very pale blue towards the rim, which lost him the certificate. Long substantial muscular body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Dark seal points with adequate warmth, moderately shaded body, coat a little long and rather thick in texture. Very laid back, excellent temperament and presentation.
