As usual a
very well run show by the Robinsons’ lovely cheese pressy
too! I was most grateful to have the very pleasant company of Billy Nicholl who agreed to steward for the 1st time in the Brits
and Burmese! He did a splendid job for a beginner and was attentive and good
company. I hope we can repeat the exercise again soon Billy. My company
Loraston Pet Products was very happy to donate to the Overall BIS 25th

masculine cobby powerful chap in excellent condition. Tree trunk thick
legs support his heavy muscular body and believe me they are needed, he is a marvellous big teddy bear! Lovely apple
head with excellent breadth across the top of head between neat ears. Full chubby cheeks, short thick neck. Large
round copper orange eyes, good expression. Short
straight broad nose, level bite. Lovely short crisp dense coat, even in
length and a pleasing palish blue, sound to roots, a fraction silvered at the
tips. Built four square this chap and is an excellent example!

BENGER’S IGR PR STONNALL ROCKEE (30d) 4yrs 3mths Well
know lad of substance but not quite got the presence of the younger more
powerful blue lad. His head is rounded, good width between his medium
sized ears set well apart. Lovely large orange eyes,
well rounded. Short straight nose, level bite chin slopes back a little. Good
fullness to cheeks. Solid lad of very good bone to his short
legs. His coat is fairly dense, a good length and texture. His spots are
a little elongated on his spine, fairly well broken all over and a good
contrast to ground. Good rings to his balanced tail.

Muscular weighty solid body supported by short thick legs. Her coat is short

shading. Her points are a nice pale even toned lilac, lovely shape to her

cat!
BLACK BSH
ADULT
1ST (CC& BOB N/A) WILLIAMS’ BUSYKITZ PEBBLESFLINTSTONE 11MTHS A way to go
for this lass to reach the standard I am afraid, she is immature for her age
and needs generally more type. Her head shape is more oval than round, she
needs more width across the brow and her ears are rather large. Her eyes
are small although they are well rounded and of quite a
good gold colour. Her nose is too long, her muzzle is squared and she needs
more fullness to her cheeks. her coat is a brownish
black, unsound to roots, soft and long and she has white hairs on her chest
which in itself is a withholding fault. Her tail tapers to a point. Lovely
nature and handled well.
LILAC BSH
ADULT
1ST CC & BOB EDWARDS’ HUMBUG JOLLYTOM 2YRS 4MTHS A big lad still filling
out his frame, good bone to his slightly long legs, body firm and muscular but
a trifle long. His head is fairly rounded, ears are
rather large nd too broad at the base, set quite well
apart.
Round eyes of pale gold, long nose, level bite, chin just slopes back a little.
Jowls rather than full cheeks. His coat is fairly
short, it is nice and crisp though and just a little unsound to roots. Colourwise I would much prefer to see the required pinky
hue more evident. Brindling to shoulders. Tail is a
little long. I did consider for some time whether this lad achieved the
standard and just about on balance felt he deserved the award.

BSH ADULT MALE
1ST CC&BOB STEELE’S COLINSWOOD RAPHAEL 1YR 3MTHS A well grown solid chap of
balanced head to body and excellent bone to his strong lags. Good width between
neat ears. Good round head shape just a little square in the muzzle though.
Nice fullness to cheeks. Good large fairly round orange eyes, short straight
nose, level bite. Excellent crisp texture to his short dense
mid blue coat. Sadly it is very silvered and
this did make me consider withholding the CC today. His coat is however sound
to roots so on balance I allowed and awarded.
2nd
O’CONNOR’S HUMBUG TOPPLESLAD 2YRS 3WKS Smaller chap, not got the bone and
substance of the winner. His head is rounded, ears are set well apart but
rather pointed and he holds them upright. His head tapers to a slightly squared
muzzle, his bite is level, cheeks could be a little more full
for balance though. His coat is a dark blue, fairly sound but he really needed
some more preparation. There are tufts of fur sitting above the rest of his
coat which makes it look a trifle shaggy I am afraid.
BLUE BSH
ADULT FEMALE
1ST (CC N/A) LARCOMBE’S CWITCH DAKOTA 1YR 2MTHS. This lass
needs more time to develop and mature as she still looks very much like an
older kitten at present. Hear frame is slight and needs more muscle tone and weight, her legs are a little slender for the breed too. her head is rounded, ears set well, good size, her eyes are
nice and large but not fully rounded, golden in colour. The bite is acceptable,
it is a little untidy. Good cheeks developing. Her body is
a little long. The coat is nice and short but very unsound and silvered,
texture is coming. Sorry to withold but today she had
too many faults to justify the award, as discussed with her owner, we had a
nice long chat!

ADULT
1ST (CC N/A) STEELE’S COLINSWOOD ANASTASIA 1YR 10MTHS. Quite
a nice size and weight to this young lady but I would like to see more
body development at this age. Her head is round, fairly neat ears set well
apart, fair cheeks for fullness, large round but very sore eyes, which does
detract. Her profile is slightly flat. The nose is short and straight, bite is
level but she is rather squared in the muzzle. Her coat is fairly short, not as
dense as it should be really and it shows a silver tipping on the ends of the
fur which is undesirable, its pale cream but also shows brindling although it
is sound. Typical ghost spots evident I hope will clear as she matures.

(27b) F 3mths 3 wks. Just beautiful chocolate baby that oozes style and
type. My Judges award of the day from my whole book, my pocket was just not
quite big enough! A most promising baby that is lithe and muscular, of very
good weight with elegant slender limbs and neat oval paws. Tail is a super
shape to balance with paintbrush tip. Her head forms a lovely short wide and
blunt wedge with nice rounding to the top of head between her ears of good size
and gentle forward tilt. Set very well apart and follow the line of the
upper part of the face. In profile the head is gently rounded, shows excellent
depth from top of head to lower jaw; the nose is short and straight with a
distinctive break; bite is level as is the chin. Large and lustrous
yellow eyes of excellent shape and set wide apart, fully lower line and topline
slants gently to the nose giving rise to a typical expression. Nice rounding to
chest. Beautiful colour, warm mid chocolate, baby coat that
is fairly short and promising texture that lays well. A little purrbox who is one to watch!
2nd JATOR’S
SANTILLO BEAULOLAIS (27b) F 5mths A very alert baby
who was very happy to be cuddled. She is a good size and of deceptive weight,
is well grown and muscular too with slender legs and neat oval paws. Her tail
balances but is a trifle fine though ends in a nice rounded tip. She has a
short blunt wedge but shows a teething pinch at the moment. Her ears are a
little large for balance, they are set well apart and are broad at base with
correct tilt, gentle rounding to top of head in between. She has very nice
width at the cheeks and good overall depth. In profile the brow rounds gently,
the nose is short and straight with a moderate break. Bite is correct and her
chin is level. Her eyes are chartreuse in colour, set wide apart, of good shape
and fullness with a pleasing expression developing. Super
coat although a little long, lays well and is developing a lovely texture, cool
toned chocolate.
EXTRA 2ND. BRIDGES’ SANLIS P’ZAZZ
(27) 5MTHS F. A good sized kitten also showing nice

Well shaped tail to balance. Her head forms a short wedge that tapers to a
blunt muzzle. Her top of head is very gently rounded in between large ears, they are correctly set and are broad at base but are a
trifle out of balance with the head at present. In profile the head shows good
depth and a short nose, a little rise to the centre is evident then its straight to the tip. The break is acceptable. Bite is level, chin medium depth and is level. The eyes are
a good size, full and lustrous, correct shape and set, yellow in colour with a
green rim to centre at the moment. The coat is even mid seal
brown but shows a feint necklace and has some minor brindling; it is fairly
short and lays well with a nice glossy shine.

1ST GRICE’S KIMARLIM TOUCH OF GOLD (27j) 6mths F
A kitten of good size and weight she has a firm body with slender legs and neat
spoon-shaped paws. Her tail is well balanced, a good shape and tapers to a
paintbrush tip. Her wedge is short and blunt of good depth and width with
gentle rounding to her top of head between large ears, set correctly; well
apart; and broad at base. In profile the nose is a fraction long, its straight till the very tip where it rolls off gently, good
break. The bite is level, chin firm and lines up, just a fraction pinched in
the muzzle. Her coat is a trifle long but has a beautiful satin feel to it and
shines with health. I loved her blotchy tortie markings particularly her “eye
patch” very becoming and aids her character!
2nd DEW’S DEWBRIDGE CLEOPATRA STAR (27b) F 7mths. Again a good sized
kitten showing good muscle tone and has a nice
firm feel to her. Her legs are slender and proportionate with neat oval paws, the tail is a good shape, tapering to a round tip that
balances. Of very good size and weight. Good
width between her slightly generous ears, they are set well and the
top of head is gently rounded in-between. The head forms a fairly short wedge
that shows good width but would prefer a trifle more depth. The nose is long
and just rolls off at the very tip, good break in profile, level bite but
shallow chin. Her eyes are a good size and shape, set wide apart and yellow in
colour, just showing a green inner rim at
present. Her coat is a little long, warm toned fractionally uneven choclate with darker contrast masking.

1ST WILLIAMS’ UK IMP GR PR ZAMPETTO LIMITED EDITION (27) 6YRS 6MTHS. Stylish. I see I have judged this lovely
lass now on numerous occasions. She is an ambassador for her breed! She
is excellent condition for her age, retains a good firm body of very deceptive
weight, slender elegant legs and neat oval paws. Her tail is a good shape and
tapers to a rounded tip, to shoulder. Her top of head is a trifle flattened, she has good width between the medium broad based
ears of good set. In profile the brow rounds gently, the nose is short and
straight with a good break and she has good depth to her head. The wedge
is short and blunt and has very nice width at the cheeks bones. Bite is
correct, chin is level but just recedes very marginally. Her eyes are are full and lustrous, a good size and shape and set wide
apart, clear yellow in colour. Her coat is a rich seal brown, is short and
fairly fine and lays well, shining with a lovely gloss
to it too.
2nd. LANG’S
LAMOND SAMIR SUNDAR (27c) 1yr 2mths A young but very well built lad, large head
and medium to long body of very good weight and muscle tone. Nice rounding to
chest and straight back. His legs are shapely and proportionate, large oval
paws and his tail is medium thick and balances with a rounded tip. Hi head
forms a moderate wedge, the ears are just over medium in size, are broad at
base and set well apart, following the upper lines of the face, it does however
taper to a prominent muzzle, almost like he was pushing out his whisker pads,
we let him relax as much as we could but he was slightly tense and I don’t
think this helped his “look” In profile the brow is very gently rounded, the
nose is a trifle long, breal is distinctive; Level
bite and chin. Nice large eyes, good shape and set wide apart, pale golden
yellow in colour. His coat is short and reasonably fine, lays close and has a
good healthy sheen. It was rather a bluish dove grey in this light and seemed to
lack the pinky tones I would like to see. A fair bit of shading was evident on
his back contrast masking to his face.
