1 GCCF SUE DANKS ASIAN C. A. 22/4/17 Thank you to Anna and team for my kind invitation. It was an honour to be able to judge at this popular show and bliss to be able to handle so many quality Asians under one roof. The hospitality was spot on and I had a brilliant steward Miriam Haas. Thank you for your company through the day. AC ASIAN SMOKE KITTEN 1 ST & BOB MRS H & MR R McRae SHADOWS PIXIE OF CAGARAN (ASH NS) F A 5 month old baby with a very extravert character. She had medium ears tilted slightly forward with good breadth between & following the line of her wedge. She had green/yellow eyes with a slight curve to the top lid and fuller to the lower, slanting towards her nose. She had good breadth at the cheek bones gently tapering to a short blunt wedge of good width. In profile she had a slight rounding to her forehead leading to a definite break at the nose bridge and a short straight nose to the tip with a firm deep chin level bite and good depth to her skull. She was developing good foreign bone structure with a balanced tapering tail showing a few rings to the tip. She stood on slender legs with oval little paws. Her coat was medium short and showing the correct smoke pattern, appearing black until the coat was parted and then a silver white was visible showing excellent contrast about 1/3 rd of the hair shaft. There was just some bleeding through to her bib area. A very promising little girl. AC ASIAN TABBY KITTEN 14WEEKS-6MONTHS 1 ST & BOB MRS C LOVELL KENNBURY RUES HONFLEUR (ASH h 25) F A cheeky little girl who was enjoying all the attention.

In profile she had a rounding to her forehead leading to a distinct break at the nose bridge and a short straight nose to the tip, falling away a fraction at the leather. She had a balanced elegant body supported by slender legs and oval paws. She had a long tapering tail. Her coat was soft silky and showing good tortie pattern of medium dove grey and shades of medium cream throughout. On the day her coat appeared to look more shaded than ticked. (My thoughts were confirmed by two senior judges). Not knowing her genetic background I went on what she looked like on the day. She had a wonderful temperament AC ASIAN TABBY KITTEN OVER 6 MONTHS 1 ST & BOB MRS D BUNTING XCHARDI TA DAH (ASH as 25 31) M A very impressive boy and well grown for his age.

AC ASIAN SELF OR TORTIE KITTEN 14 WEEKS 6 MONTHS 1 ST & BOB MRS C & MISS L ROBERTSHAW SHADOWS DEFINITELY DUSTY (ASH c) F A little 5 month old girl with medium ears set well apart and following the contour of her wedge. She had good width at the cheek bones tapering to a short wedge that could have a little more width. She had amber eyes that could be larger and they appeared to be a little watery, preventing her from opening them fully which I put down to the fact that she was teething, having two sets of teeth. Unfortunately this spoilt her overall appearance on the day. In profile she had a gentle rounding to her forehead falling to a definite break at the nose bridge and a short straight nose to the tip, chin perpendicular to her nose and she had good depth to her skull. She was developing elegant foreign bone structure with slender legs and delicate oval paws and a long tapering tail.
