Open Classes

Oriental Imperial Grand Champiom Male

IGCC Devlin's GRCH ATHELSTAN PANDAMONIUM (OSH n 03) 22 Dec 13
A handsome mature lad of very good type. Medium length even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile apart from a small bump on the nose, I'd prefer a more vertical line to the front of the head, firm slightly shallow chin and level bite. Eyes of shape, a little full particularly when out of his pen, well set and a clear pale green in colour. Long muscular body, long legs with neat paws, balancing length of tail. Coloured parts jet black sound to the roots, head about three quarters white with black patches round the ears and an attractive black moustache, completely white chin, chest and underbody spreading a fair way up the sides, front legs mostly white extending upwards over the neck, substantial white to hind legs too, in all a little over 40% white. Some white bleeding into the edges of the black, white hairs on the upper body in two broken lines from the neck, so allowable, one or two isolated white hairs in the neck area which were a pity but not enough to preclude the certificate. Short close coat of excellent texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

Siamese Imperial Grand Champion Female

IGPC Shand's GRCH PALMIRA MONIQUE (SIA n 21) 17 Sep 12
An attractive girl of very good type. Medium length even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears which she does tend to bonnet. Straight profile a little flat over the forehead and angled down a little from the brow, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of very good shape and set, a bright blue which I'd prefer a little deeper. Long fim body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction. Marked in good warm seal, good markings to the head though the 'M' slightly blurred, good leg bars, tail two thirds ringed. Moderately shaded body, coat a fraction long but close lying and of good texture. Handled well if a little reluctantly, excellent presentation.
Res Cox's GRCH EIREACHDAIL FHUARAN (SIA em) 20 May 14
A dainty girl of very good type. Long wedge with a small pinch, good width at the top, well set large ears. Straight profile, firm chin and level bite. Eyes of very good shape and set, they would ideally be a slightly deeper shade of blue. Long slender body, long legs with neat paws, tail needs an extra fraction. Points a good warm browny-toned apricot, unshaded body, short close coat of excellent texture. Superb temperament, excellent presentation. Only second because of a relative lack of maturity, not too surprising at her age.

Oriental Smoke Adult

BOB Carter's CH ATHELSTAN ARKHAMKNIGHT (OSH ns) M 4 Oct 14
A sweet tempered lad 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 very good shape and set and a good green colour, displaying a squint which fortunately was intermittent. Black top colour, clear silver undercolour on the lower half fro the upper body, two thirds elsewhere, breaking through rather more to the surface than ideal, giving faint tabby markings to legs, tail and lower body. Short close coat of excellent texture. Excellent temperament and presentation.

A handsome lad and very mature for his age, of very good type. Long even wedge, good width at the top, well set large ears.
