SW Counties C.C. - 26 Sep 2015

Thanks to the show committee for the invitation to judge and for the hospitality, a pity the entry in all section left something to be desired but at least in the ones I judged in there was some excellent quality

Open Classes

Siamese Grand Champion Male

GCC Pounds's CH CASPA CATBALOO (SIA a) 26 Oct 14
A young lad of superior type, looking mature for his age. Long even wedge, jowls just starting to form, good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile, chin a little shallow and would ideally be a little firmer, bite level. Eyes of very good shape and set and good depth of blue. Long muscular body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction. Darkish blue points, darker on tail but still acceptable, moderate shading to body, quite heavy shading over the top of head but still some contrast, short close coat of good texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Siamese Grand Champion Female

GCC Pounds's CH FLOWERDEW ANNIFRID (SIA f) 1 Aug 13
A girl of very good type. Long even wedge, good width at the top, large ears which she does tend to bonnet and even in repose they are set a little lower than I would ideally like. Profile slightly raised at the brow and then angled down a little, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of good shape and set, a little deep set, of a good depth of blue. Long muscular body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Points a good warm seal, well mingled with shades of red, with a good proportion of the foreground colour but that would ideally be brighter. Moderately shaded body, short close coat of excellent texture. Rather timid but quite easy to handle, excellent presentation.

Oriental Caramel Adult

1 (CC N/A) Fletcher's CHAMBLIN BLUEMOON M 20 Aug 14
A lad of reasonably good type, a little juvenile in appearance but not unduly so. Medium length wedge, jowls starting to form, a little more width at the top needed for balance, large ears set in line. Straight profile, front of head not rather angled back from the nose tip, bite level. Eyes very full and yellowy in colour, though with a hint of green. Long well fed body, log legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction. Colour fawn-based caramel I think, showing adequate browny overtones to body and tail but rather lacking to the head as yet. Short close coat of very good texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Oriental Red Kitten

1+BOB Debowska's METEXA RED-SHARRAN M 19 May 15
A sweet-tempered baby of very good type. Medium length wedge with a small pinch, good width at the top, well set large ears. Shall depression above the brow, not a problem at this age, small bump on the nose, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of good basic shape though a shade full, well set, colour a rather muddy green as yet. Long body, long legs with neat paws, long tail. Very good bright red colour, sound to the roots, showing a spotted pattern but not excessively so, short close coat of excellent texture. Superb temperament, excellent presentation

Oriental Tortie Kitten

1+BOB Pounds's SERAPIS QUEENOFHEARTS (OSH e) 9 May 15
A very well developed girl of very good type. Strong medium length even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile, form chin, bite marginally overshot. Long fir body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra inch. Colour dense black sound to the roots quite sparsely broken with shades of very pale red, giving a much more 'black and white' appearance than I should prefer. A very pale patch on her lower stomach caused me some concern but I concluded it was background red rather than the alternative. Short close coat of very good texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.
2 Raymond's BARBECCO GLAMOUR PUSS (OSH q) F 2 Feb 15
A girl of reasonably good type. Long wedge needing a little more width at the top for balance, large ears set in line. Straight profile, a little angled down from the brow, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of good basic shape but a little full, set rather straight, olive green in colour. Long firm body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction. Colour a darkish warm cinnamon attractively mingled with shades of red, sound to the roots, short close coat of good texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Oriental Ticked Tabby Neuter

BOB N/A Drummond's PR KAMIK BILLY JEAN (OSH f 25) FN 29 Jul 14
A girl of good type. Longish even wedge, I would ideally prefer a fraction more width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of good shape and set and good green colour. Long firm body, long legs with neat paws, long tail. Pattern colour bright red mingled with black, spotting clearly visible in the red on her lower sides which is not correct for the breed and does raise the question whether she is instead a poor spotted tabby. Short close coat of excellent texture, excellent temperament and presentation.

Chocolate Point Siamese Kitten Male

1+BOB Fairclough's MAFDET MENDOZA 5 Feb 15
A well developed lad of very good type. Long wedge a fraction overlong in the muzzle and with a slight pinch, good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of very good shape and set and a good depth of blue. Long muscular body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Points a slightly dark but warm chocolate, very lightly shaded body, short close coat a little harsh in texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Chocolate Point Siamese Kitten Female

1 Rochefort's ROCHEROS ARAH 26 Jun 15
A baby just old enough to be shown. Short wedge as yet with a slight pinch and rather broad in the muzzle, good width at the top, well set large ears. Small depression above the brow and dip below, firm chin, level bite with the incisors only just starting to appear. Eyes of good shape and set of a fair depth of blue. Proportionate form body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Points developing in what looks likely to be quite a dark shade of chocolate, unshaded body, still wearing her fluffy kitten coat. Sweet-tempered though a little timid and clingy, excellent presentation.

Tortie Point Siamese Kitten

1+BOB Lawrence's JACKIQUE KISS KISS (SIA g) 10 Jun 15#
A girl of good type. Medium length wedge, a little short in the muzzle as yet, quite good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile, form chin and level bite.

Miscellaneous classes

Oriental Breeders Adult

1 Rudge's GRCH SANDIMESE DIAMOND GEEZER (SIA w 67) M 16 May 12
A mature lad of superior type. Strong medium length wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile angled down a little from the brow, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of good shape and set which would ideally be a slightly deeper blue. Long muscular body, long legs with neat paws, long tail to balance.

2 Rees's CH JUANNRE LOVELY LUKE (OSH c) M 17 May 14
A lad of good type. Medium length even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Slight dip in profile, chin ebbs slightly, bite scissored over. Eyes of good shape and set, of a slightly pale green. Long muscular body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction. Colour a darkish lilac with a slight brownish tinge which makes me think he might be a cinnamon carrier, a little unsound but clear of ghost markings. Short close coat of excellent texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.
3 Fletcher's CHAMBLIN BLUEMOON (OSH m) M

Oriental Non-Breeders Adult

1 Debowska's CH VELVETENA GIFT-WRAPPED (OSH c) 15 Mar 13
A large girl of good type. Longish even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Small dip to profile, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of good shape and set though she can open them rather wide, of a rather yellowy green. Long su8bstantial body, long legs with neat paws balancing length of tail.

Oriental Limit Kitten

1 Debowska's METEXA JIMMY-CHOO (OSH d 03 33) M 19 May 15
A promising baby of very good type. Long even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Shallow depression above the brow, not a problem at this age, profile otherwise straight, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of very good shape set rather straight of a good depth of blue. Long firm body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Points of a good bright red, unshaded body, white in a patch to the forehead, cheeks, ear tips, chest and complete underbody, not sure whether it goes a little way up the body or not, substantial white to all legs, there doesn't appear to be any on the upper body, so in all borderline for white but I think just the right side. All will become much clearer when the body colour deepens. Short close coat of good texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.
2 Raymond's BARBECCO GLAMOUR PUSS (OSH q) F

Oriental Veteran Neuter

1 Lee's CH & OGIGP WILLHAVETODO OUIJA BOARD (OSH k) FN 21 May 06
A girl of excellent type, retaining most of her quality despite her age though there is just the odd sign of advancing years. Longish even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Profile a little raised at the brow but otherwise straight, firm chin and level bite still sporting some incisors. Eyes of very good shape and set of a clear pale green. Long well fed body, long legs with neat paws, tail distinctly short. Very attractively marked in lilac-based caramel mingled with shades of apricot, sound to the roots. Coat slightly long but close lying and of very good texture. Excellent temperament and presentation. I shall be sad no longer to see her at shows, now she's retired having won almost everything available.

Oriental Radius Neuter

1 McGowan's PR BARBECCO BLUE SAPPHIRE (OSH k) FN 15 Sep 14
A girl of good type. Long even wedge, needing a little more width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of good shape and set, and a clear green colour. Long well fed body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Colour blue-based caramel well mingled with shades of pale apricot, sound to the roots, short close coat of excellent texture. Very uncertain in temperament, trying hard not to be handled though I did manage just sufficiently; excellent presentation.
2 Drummond's PR KAMIK BILLY JEAN (OSH f 25) FN

Siamese/Balinese Limit Adult

1 Pounds's FLOWERDEW IGOTTHECREAM (SIA f) F 1 Aug 13
A girl of very good type. Long even wedge, good width at the top, large ears held somewhat low, and in an attempt to intimidate folded halfway along so the tips pointed down - a vision which I confess more conducive to mirth than apprehension. Small dip in profile and angled down a little from the brow, firm chin, bite scissored under. Eyes of very good shape and set, of a good depth of blue. Long strong body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction. Points a dark warm seal, well mingled with shades of very pale red, little foreground red present to lift the colour. Moderately shaded body, coat a fraction long but close lying, a little harsh in texture. Very shy but easy to handle despite her failed attempts at intimidation, excellent presentation.

Excellent temperament and presentation.
3 Hart's HARTRIDGE HIRAFIKI (BAL b) M 2- Nov 14
A well grown youngster of good type, just adequately mature considering his youth. Medium length even wedge needing a little more width at the top, well set large ears. Dip in profile, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of good shape and set and good depth of blue. Long substantial body, long legs with neatish paws, tail needs an extra inch. Points a darkish chocolate, rather patchy to the mask at present, unshaded body. Coat ideally needs a little more length but has an excellent soft silky texture, good plume and attractive toe fronds. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Siamese/Balinese Non-Breeders Neuter

1 Hutchings's PR MAFDET MANIFESTO (SIA n 21) MN 15 Sep 13
A lad of very good type. Long even wedge, almost balancing width at the top, well set large ears. Profile with a small dip firm deep chin, level bite. Eyes of good shape though a little small, set rather straight, of a good depth of blue. Long muscular body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction and has a tiny irregularity at the tip. Marked in a good seal, markings to head, good leg bars, tail about two thirds ringed but the rings rather blurred. Lightly shaded body, short close coat of excellent texture. Such a pity he won't relax and enjoy his shows more, but he handled well, excellent presentation.
