TIGER (30) MN 20.5.06 Strapping brown spotty of class a big well muscled lad of
cobby proportions, excellent bone and weight supported by tree trunk thick legs
and large round paws. Super apple head, neat ears set well apart ( I do recall
them being rather large so he obviously grew into them) Rounded profile, short
straight nose, level bite, chin recedes, fat cheeks. Broad deep chest and rump,
4 square chap. Short dense slightly soft coat. Quite well separated spots to
season on a warm copper brown ground. Good contrast just some minor brindling
to spots. Good eyes for shape and set and a lovely orange colour. Tail has
rings, thumbprints to ears, a necklace and spotty tummy.

PR BENGERS’ GR PR STONNALL ROCKEE (30D) MN 15.6.05 Plump lad, loves his food!
Slightly out of balance therefore. Excellent weight! A good sized chap
with good bone and substance. Head is
rounded, plenty of width between fairly neat ears, short nose but tapers to a
square muzzle. Level bite and chin. Cobby chap with a broad chest. Coat is
short but not as dense as winners, spots are not as well defined against a rich
red ground so the contrast wasn’t quite up to it today. Coat is a mite soft
too. Tail has rings, a faint necklace and thumbprints to ears.

head shape with medium but wide based ears although they are set wide apart.
Lovely broad cheeks. Nose is short but slightly dished in profile. Level bite
and chin but fractionally squared in the muzzle. Large expressive gold rounded
eyes. Coat is a pale blue, very short and thick, minimal silvering! And almost
sound to root. Tail thick and ends in a rounded tip. Well presented.

CC& BOB BROWN’S CHARMODEN SIMPLYYAZZ F 6.4.04 Extremely nervous and twitchy
lass, such a shame! It took some very gentle handling indeed to get her relaxed
enough to judge. Quite a good size and weight, cobby with short legs and
rounded paws. Tail is broad at base with rounded tip. Her head is nice and round but a tad flat on
the forehead between medium sized ears set well apart. Muzzle tapers to a
slight point though. Good cheeks. Level bite and chin. her coat is short, a tad
soft but is dense and very nicely mingled with pale sound blue and pale cream,
just a few minor ghost markings yet to clear. Large gold eyes, nice and round.

CHADWICK’S WINDYMEADOW OLIVIA F 6.7.07 Out of balance lass with a small head to
body and generally needs more weight and
muscle tone for her age. Slender boned legs and rounded paws. Her head is more
oval shaped than rounded and lacks cheeks, which, with her large ears
emphasises her in-balance I am afraid. Level bite. Fairly short but rather flat
lying coat almost as though the undercoat had been groomed out? Patchy very
silvered blue and cream, lacks mingling. Nice orange expressive eyes, probably
her best feature, sorry!

(CC & BOB W/H) HADEN’S KIRMINAC CHOCLATE BUTTON (30B) Sadly she still looks
very much like an overgrown kitten, she is tubular, lightweight and needs much
more bone and substance I am afraid. Her head is fairly round and ears are
large and flared and wide at the base. Short nose, level bite chin slopes back
marginally. Her legs are too slender and dainty with dainty paws. The coat is
short but soft, has a lovely warm ground but very brindled spots. Hazel toned
eyes rather than gold copper or orange in this light, nice expression and well
rounded, unfortunately she has a distinct green rim. Tail is fine and tapers to
a point with a defect at the tip. Sorry to withold, but apart from the
veterinary defects she isn’t up to standard at present.

RILEY’S LILACMIST BO DIDDLY (40/2) 2.5.08 Large lad of good bone and of
reasonable weight, good have better muscle tone for his size and age. Tail is
fairly broad at the base but has distinct rings and is a darker blue than his
other points. His head is rather oval shaped instead of rounded tapering to a
pointed muzzle. Fair width across the top of head between rather large ears I
am afraid. His eyes are small and really need more blue tones to be correct.
His nose is long and has a large bump in profile. Bite is level but chin slopes
back. Thus his whole head is out of balance. His coat is sadly rather long too
and lack density. The points don’t match, they are differing shades of blue
which is a pity. I am afraid all in all I would not suggest he is of show potential
and I did consider withholding 1st due to his many faults, sorry.

MASCERANO (40/14) 5.5.08 Stunning example of a correct British shorthair
for type, bone and coat! Gorgeous type, eyes beautifully rounded my only nit
pick is that I would prefer them a tad larger, good colour though. Fabulous
coat!, excellent bone and conformation. Clear contrast between points and body
colour. Good tabby markings and spectacles. Just a little cool toned in points
but they match. Good tail too.
2nd.
CHESTERMAN’S VIOLET BEACHBABY (40/4) 5.5.08
Nicely balanced baby if a tad smaller overall than the winner. Good
solid body, cobby and short legged of good bone with rounded paws. Round head
shape, fraction squared at the muzzle though, level bite and chin of good depth
with cheeks filling nicely. Neat ears set well apart between a nicely rounded
skull. Short straight nose. Coat is nice and short, of promising texture and
density. Points are nicely mingled with pale cool lilac and pale cream,
matching but legs fractionally paler. Pale rounded eyes, sweet expression.
3rd.
ANNAN’S ADATESH MOONLIGHT DELIGHT (40/2) 17.2.08 Large well muscled lass of a
super temperament! Round head, medium sized ears set well apart, short straight
nose, level bite but her chin recedes and is also quite shallow, good cheeks.
Muzzle a little squared. Long coat that is of quite good density, rather soft
and therefore lays flat. Lovely shape to the mask, but they are too dark but they
do match. Heavy shading to the body and only just enough contrast between body
and leg points at present so if she shades up much more it is incorrect.
4th.
BREWER’S CAKIES TIGERLILY (40/10) 20.4.08
Good weight and overall size with rather slender boned legs and large
rounded paws. Long tail, fairly broad at base but tapers to a point. Rather a
triangular head shape with large ears that are set too close together. Long
nose with a bump, level bite but chin recedes. Head type really needs to be
rounder and more full cheeked. Eyes are round but pale in colour. The points
are a dark blueish lilac with hot cream
so this also detracts I am afraid. The coat is also uneven in length at
present, being short on the head and neck and long down her back, fair density
and texture. Shading to flanks, contrast totally sufficient from points to body
colour.

AMOZOLOU THE NEW SCMOO (79S 39D) 13.4.08 Almost equal of 1st place I
have judged this stunning kitten very recently, I had to enlist extra stewards
to look at these two together. My only criticism if it can be called that is
that I would have like his muzzle more developed at this age and very slightly
larger eyes, that was ALL!. Stunning otherwise.
Extra 2nd.MINSHALL’S
ACOZNI NITESHADOW (79S 36) 21.5.08 Gorgeous smoke lad, with a fabulous look
about him but I felt his muzzle was rather prominent and not as rectangular as
the 1st two lads and he wasn’t quite as full cheeked as the kitten
above, but he had a super dome to his head in profile with correct ears for set
and spacing. Other than that, his coat is stunning, he has excellent tight
curls, standing well away from his body, curly whiskers and eyebrows too.
Excellent bone to him, a good solid chap with rectangular body shape coming and
medium length well boned legs. I feel he would be an asset to this breed.
3rd.
AMARILLI’S HONG KONG PHOEY (79S 75) 13.4.08 Pretty chap, that for me just looks
slightly too british in that his ears are marginally smaller than medium and
not quite as broad at the base as they should be. Lovely rounded with very good
width at the cheeks, level bite, short downward nose. Curly whiskers and
eyebrows too. Large round expressive eyes. Very good size and weight and has
very good bone. Muzzle not quite as rectangular as the kitten above. Super coat
too, and excellent tail.
4th.
BEARD-SMITH’S MEWSOS FERGAL SHARKEY (79L 40/7) 31.3.08 Big lad! Excelent bone
and weight, really solid and muscular too. Sadly his head isn’t that rounded
and he really has no chin as discussed with his owner. This really detracts I
am afraid, in addition his eyes prick up at the sides thus appearing slightly
oriental rather than rounded. Superb coat mind you, semi long haired mix of
excellent waves and curls, probably one of the best coats I have see !
Excellent plumes and ruff too.

(79S 36e) 21.5.08 Superb Selkirk rex type on such a young baby indeed! Super
round full cheeked head with very good ears set and spacing. Good fullness to
cheeks too. Rounded profile, short downward slanting nose, level bite and chin
of good depth that is very firm! Promising muzzle, whisker pads obvious too.
Solid and well muscled, supported by good strong well boned legs and large
rounded paws. Curly eyebrows. Fabulous coat!, really tight waves right down to
the root, still standing away from the body, all over. Very pretty tortie
smoke. Tail to balance with curls and waves.

MINSHALL’S ACOZNI SMOKINGEMBERS (79s
36e) 21.5.08 Litter sister to winner and very alike, but bite just about acceptable, watch that chin!
Very similar except I felt that rather than developing a muzzle of rectangular
look she is puffing out her whisker pads and is pinched. Not quite as curly as
the sister and has a finer tail.
3rd.
BAKERS’ TOLLCROSS INNUENDO (79L 30) 14.5.08 Well grown lass but I feel she is
slightly out of balance. Her ears are slightly smaller than medium in size and
not as broad at base as I would like, good width though between them rounded
brow and short downward slanting nose. Sadly she is undershot, very firm chin.
Not quite as full cheeked as the other two girls and not quite as well
developed in the muzzle. Strong legs and rounded paws with a tail that is not
quite yet showing plumes. Ruff not quite there yet either but the coat is a
lovely mix of loose random curls and waves, marginally straighter on her back.

balance and weight to this stylish kitten with slender shapely legs and oval paws,
of very good muscle development and rounded chest. Medium thick tail of good
length tapers to a rounded but thickened tip, just a minor fault, as confirmed
by a Full Judge. Lovely Burmese type and
expression, very promising! Super short wide, deep blunt wedge tapers to a
minor pinch but she has just finished teething; gentle rounding to brow between
well set, forward tilting ears. Short straight nose with excellent break in
profile. Full lustrous golden yellow eyes set nice and wide apart and of good shape.
Level bite and good depth to level chin. Super coat, lays really well, and is
short and fine, satin texture developing well. Broken necklace to throat area,
a few faint smudges to thighs otherwise nice and even.

BOB STEPHENS’ MILLGILL YANG M 15.4.08 Slightly built chap with slender legs and
dainty oval paws, of average weight, would prefer him heavier to be honest and
more muscular. Tail is slightly fine not really medium in thickness and is
slightly short. Moderate wedge with minor teething pinch, of quite good depth
and width; very gentle rounding to brow between large forward tilting ears.
Long nose that rolls off at the tip, good break though in profile. Level bite
but chin is shallow and recedes. His eyes are, for me, could be slightly fuller
and set wider apart to achieve the Burmese expression, colour is pale yellow.
Pale cream coat with powdering to head but is slightly long and not as fine as
I would anticipate at his age. Noticeable smudges to thighs and faint on
forelegs. I did deliberate for some time
on whether to withhold the Bob on this kitten for the faults described above
but decided he was at an awkward stage of development and allowed for this
today.

reaches shoulder tapering to a paintbrush tip. Excellent short blunt wedge that
is both wide at the cheeks and of very good depth; Marginal pinch. Gentle
rounding to brow between slightly larger than medium ears of good set, space
and tilt. Super nose break to nose but it just rounds off at the tip. Level
bite and chin just recedes just a fraction.
Super full lustrous yellow chartreuse eyes set wide apart and developing
a good Burmese expression. Pale lilac and lovely pale cream mingling, very
pretty indeed! Super coat, nice and short and fine, lays well too.

tail is slightly short though, ends in a rounded tip. Moderate wedge with large
very broad based ears of good tilt and set reasonably wide apart with a gently
rounded top of head in-between. Good
width at the cheeks but could be marginally deeper from top of head to lower
jaw. Good break to her short nose but it rolls off at the leather. Level bite
and chin is slightly shallow and marginally pinched. Lovely large chartreuse
eyes of good shape and set wide apart. Super short fine and close lying coat of
good feel and lays well, pale chocolate and pale red mingling.

STEPHENS’ MILLGILL YACKETY-YAK (27g) 15.4.08 Smaller slender built lass of
average weight with very slender legs and dainty oval paws. Slightly fine tail
that has a small but obvious defect at the tip.
Slightly flattened brow between large ears set fairly wide apart, in profile
the break is quite good but the nose rolls off at the tip and is, for me,
slightly too long. The bite is level but the chin is shallow. The wedge is
short , but tapers to a rather fine and pinched muzzle; I would also prefer to
see more depth and width at the cheeks thus allowing the pale chartreuse eyes to be set wider
apart, additionally I feel they should be fuller and more lustrous even at this
age. Lovely coat indeed, lays really well, a pale blue and mix of pale cream,
blotching.

Lovely golden yellow colour to his eyes but I would like to see them set wider apart and fuller to achieve the Burmese expression.
