Colourpointed British Shorthair Cat Club

Transcription

1 It was an honour to be asked to judge at two special breed clubs, the Colourpointed British Shorthair Cat Club and, and great fun to handle gorgeous HP s and PP s for the Rex Cat Club; my gratitude to Lynda, Kate and Club Committees for my kind invitation. Thank you to Matthew for stewarding for me, he sadly started with the flu during the course of day but we were spurred on by the lovely cats we handled. Once again it was excellent to see the SHCS show so well supported with a large British entry, particularly so with Silver entries, no less than 11 Tabbies and 8 Spotties across the 3 sections, most of which were of really high quality. One of the best quality cats I handled was in the CBSCC, Wade s Rodway Maximus (BSH e 33) who is a Cream Colourpointed Male I first handled as a kitten, I loved him then and even more now he is an adult; he is seriously impressive for breed type and thoroughly deserved his Best in Show award for the CBSCC, congratulations to his breeder and owner. British Shorthair Champion Male Grand Archer & Booth s Ch Althalus Floyd Teddyclawz (BSH c 33) Lilac Colourpointed Male I see now that I handled this youngster when he was 7 months, at the time he was very much at the in-between stage, but today he is showing good balance and right where he should be, developing well for just over 20 months. Round head with reasonable width between medium neat ears which now fit well into the contours of his head with rounded tips. His top of head is a fraction flat and top line of his eyes is still a touch straight but he does have lovely open, round eyes, with reasonable width between and a pleasing British expression. His eyes are a definite blue in colour. His nose is medium in length, straight and he could still have more width across his muzzle although he has super broad nose leather and this helps to balance his head. Cheeks filling well with more to come with further maturity. Firm chin and level bite. His body large with good weight and substance, just a touch on the longer side, but he has equally wide proportions across his shoulders and rump and a deep chest. His lilac points are fairly grey in tone in today s hall lighting but they contrast well against the body s magnolia which has minimal tonal shading on his flanks. His coat is very good indeed and it won him the grand, it is short, dense and crisp. Shown in excellent condition. Reserve Grand Martin s Ch Wellmar Zebedee (BSH bs 24) Chocolate Silver Spotted Male What really hits you about this lovely male of almost 3 years is his colour, silver usually cools the warmth of the chocolate but he is really an excellent example of the colour as he has retained much of his warm chocolate tone. He is a masculine male, showing good British type. Large round broad head, with a rounded brow M to forehead, leading to a short, straight nose and firm rather prominent chin with level bite, for balance his muzzle could be broader, showing full roundness to cheeks. He has good width between medium ears with rounded tips, fitting well into the contours of his head, thumb prints to his ears. Large round eyes well opened and set wide apart. He ran the winner very close just his eye colour holding him back from the top spot today as it is very pale gold, verging on hazel in today's hall lighting. He has thick attractive spectacle ribbons from the top and bottom corners of his eyes leading to a point on the edge of his cheeks. Large broad frame, very weighty standing low on short strong legs with firm rounded paws. Medium length tail which is thicker at the base and rounded at the tip. He excels in pattern, being very well spotted throughout, broken spine line and only minimal linkage on the usual places of his shoulders and rump. Today his contrast excellent, his coat is short 1

2 with good density, and a true crisp texture. He was just a touch tense today but shown in good condition. Also considered Elliott-Jenkins CH Makdissy Rupert the Bear (BSH o) Cinnamon Male Excellent maturity for just 20 months. Large round head, with good width between medium ears which are a fraction open at the base but otherwise fitting well into the contours of his head. Good gentle curve to rounded brow leading to a reasonably short, straight broad nose. Firm chin and level bite. Eyes set wide apart, well opened, which could just be a fraction larger and rounder for balance but lovely open British expression. His eye colour is a very good deep orange. Good round underlying bone structure with cheeks developing well. He is of excellent weight and substance. He has a large broad body with deep chest, broad across his shoulders and equally so his rump all well supported on proportionately short, strong thick legs with firm rounded paws. Medium length tail which is thicker at the base and rounded at the tip. His coat is reasonably short, with good density but it is really greasy in texture and has a lot of scurf and clumps of fur on his back and, although his colour is a super warm cinnamon brown, today he is very unsound. I really liked this lovely boy for breed type but, unfortunately, he had too many coat and condition issues to afford him this higher award sorry. He had a lovely nature and was very easy to handle. British Shorthair Champion Female Grand Simpson s Ch Adifton Star (BSH c) Lilac Female A beautiful and balanced female of over 3½ years. Super round head showing good maturity with excellent width between neat well-set ears with rounded tips. Lovely round underlying bone structure to full cheeks showing a good degree of maturity. Rounded brow and short, straight, broad nose and nose leather to balance. Firm, broad chin, bite just acceptable. Her eyes are large, well opened with good width between, they could just be a touch rounder. Her eye colour is gold and they are a touch damp today. Head set on a short thick neck. Her body is super, it is broad, powerful, four square and cobby, with a good width and equal proportions, a deep chest, stood on short, thick legs with firm rounded paws. Short tail to balance which is thick, thicker at the base and rounded at the tip. Although her coat is soft and lacks density, it is reasonably short and it is perfectly sound and a truly pink lilac which is lovely to see. I felt that despite her soft coat all her other attributes afforded her this higher award. She was a little grumpy but handled well until returned to her pen when she let us know her displeasure! Well presented in good condition. Reserve Grand Not Awarded Ch Wellmar Ladyinlavender (BSH c 22) Lilac Tabby Female A compact female of just over 2½ showing obvious British type. Nicely rounded head with small, neat ears which have good width between, fit well into the contours of her head with rounded tips. Very short nose and deep nose break, though her brow is perfectly rounded. Her nose leather could be broader for balance but good width to her muzzle, nicely rounded cheeks still to fill with further maturity. Firm chin and level bite. Her eyes are somewhat deep set and could be better opened and rounded, though they have good width between and they are an excellent deep orange. Her body is cobby and compact, she could be larger with more substance overall for her age. Short legs which could be thicker, short tail to balance with rounded tip. Her coat is short, dense and has a good crisp texture. I understand how difficult it can be with the dilute patterns and although I believe it to be 2

3 seasonality at play, I have to judge on the day and in today s hall her pattern and delicate contrast is completely lost and I found it very difficult to make out the pattern on her back and her sides, her oysters only just visible, better at the bottom and because I couldn t make out her spine lines at all I was unable to award her this higher award today. I have had the pleasure to admire this sweet girl on previous occasions and I do hope that her coat clears out to reveal the pattern as her coat transitions. Her M to forehead, thumb prints to ears, spectacle ribbons from the corners of her eyes to the edge of her cheeks, rings to tail more defined towards the tip, necklaces and barring to legs were pleasantly present. Her colour has a good pinkness. Shown in good condition and handling well, just a touch tense. British Cinnamon or Fawn Adult 1 st CC and Best of Breed Doggett s Makdissy Zatanna (BSH o) Cinnamon Female Nice young female of just a couple of days over 9 months. Medium head showing good balance and maturity for her age. Medium neat ears with good width between, rounded tips and fitting well into the contours of her head. Round underlying bone structure to her head with cheeks still to fill, her nose is medium in length and could be shorter, firm chin and level bite. Her eyes are an excellent developing orange, the could just be rounder though well opened, her haws were visible for the entirety of the assessment. Her body is broad and cobby, her legs could be a touch stronger and thicker though they are short. Short tail to balance, thicker at the base and rounded at the tip. Her colour is a really nice warm toned cinnamon and only pales very minimally to the roots, her coat is short, with good density and reasonable texture developing. Shown in good condition, just a little tense but handled ok, happier when in the pen. Also considered for Best of Breed Only Elliott-Jenkins CH Makdissy Rupert the Bear (BSH o) Cinnamon Male British Self Colourpointed Adult Male 1 st & CC Bond s Shimmering Wotmore Bluesky (BSH a 33) Blue Colourpointed Male Large male of almost 20 months showing good British type. Large, round, broad masculine head, with attractive face. Rounded broad and short, straight nose with super broad nose leather to balance. Full rounded cheeks showing excellent maturity. Good width to a firm chin and level bite. Large round, well opened eyes with a pleasing open expression. Eye colour a definite blue. His ears are a generous medium but fit perfectly into the contours of his head with rounded tips. Head is set on a thick neck leading to a huge large strong cobby body of excellent broad equal proportions, with deep chest. Super bone to his proportionally short, thick legs with firm rounded paws. Medium length tail, thicker at the base and rounded tip. His points are a mid blue with rather heavy tonal shading concentrated on his flanks and, although his mask is somewhat hooded from tonal shading surrounding his mask, I felt his type and other breed attributes afforded him the Certificate. His coat is reasonably short, dense and does have a crispness. Shown in good condition and an easy boy to handle. Also considered for Best of Breed Only Ch Althalus Floyd Teddyclawz (BSH c 33) Lilac Colourpointed Male British Self Colourpointed Adult Female 3

4 1 st CC & Best of Breed Berry s Mawbritz Pandoras-Box (BSH a 33) Blue Colourpointed Female Gorgeous substantial female showing maturity beyond her tender age of just over a year old. Large round, head with excellent width between medium sized ears, which are wide at the base but rounded tips and fitting well into the contours of her head. Her cheeks already show a good degree of fullness, her brow is a fraction heavy with a very short, broad, straight nose with broad nose leather to balance. Her muzzle has good width and is full, with a strong chin, level bite. Her eyes are large, round and a good blue colour with a deeper centre. Head set on a short, thick neck, her body type is of super proportions, she is large and with substantial weight and bone for her age, a deep chest, broad across her shoulders and equally so her rump. Super thick, medium length tail with rounded tip and thicker at the base. Her body is well supported, with thick, short strong legs and firm rounded paws. Her coat is short, just a touch flat lying but a crispness to the touch. Her mask has surrounding tonal shading, but her body is very clear with minimal shading throughout. Her tail and leg blue points contrast well against the magnolia body. She was very easy to handle, in super condition with a lovely nature. A promising girl thoroughly deserving of the Best of Breed today. 2 nd Teddyclawz Fidget Pepperfrost (BSH b 33) Chocolate Colourpointed Female Another promising young girl of just 10½ months but still very kittenlike in comparison to the class winner. Nice neat head apple in shape, good width between neat well-set ears. Nice gentle curve to her brow with medium-short, straight nose with good breadth to her muzzle, cheeks to fill but well rounded. Good width to her chin which is firm with level bite. Her eyes are large, round and well opened with good width between, she has a very pretty, open British expression. Her eye colour is a developing definite blue. Her body is on the lean in-between stage, but that said is also fairly four square with good short, thick legs. Medium thick tail with rounded tip to balance. Her coat has some density, it is short but kitten soft. Her mask and points are still developing, and they are a super rich chocolate contrasting very well against her magnolia ground with very little tonal shading. Presented well in excellent physical condition and a super friendly disposition, a pretty girl who has it all to come.

6 Any Cat or Kitten Originally a Stray Hard to believe any of these cats could be unwanted and what lucky owners you all are to take these beauties home, the hardest class of the day! 1 st Savage s GMC Tiger (NPS n 03 22) Brown Tabby and White Male Neuter Absolutely stunning huge tabby and white boy who was really happy to see us and came to the front of the pen, he melted in our arms, I just fell completely in love. Very attractive tabby diamond on his nose, pristine white, superb condition. 2 nd Szwed s IGMC Elvis (NPS n) Black Non Pedigree Shorthaired Male Neuter One of my absolute favourites, what a treat to get a cuddle today!

7 British Black Silver Tabby Neuter Male 1 st & PC Watkins' Scarlett-Rose Chester (BSH ns 22) Black Silver Tabby Male Sweet adolescent male of 18 months old, very much at the in-between stage today but on balance just affording his award. Medium head which could be broader and rounder. Reasonable width between generous medium ears which are a touch wide at the base, rounded tips. Rounded brow and medium, broad, straight nose with broad red brick nose leather. He could have more width and depth to his muzzle and much more roundness, cheeks still to fully develop. His eyes have good width between, they could be rounded but well opened and I gave the benefit of the doubt in the hall lighting that his eye colour is currently a strong hazel with slight green to the centres which may still further develop. His body is well grown but he is on the taller, longer side at present. Medium tail to balance. He has all the tabby elements of M to forehead, thumbprints to his ears, spotted abdomen and toes, spectacle ribbons from the corner of his eyes to the edge of his cheeks, well barred legs and hocks with multiple broken and complete necklaces. His butterfly is particularly attractive at the top of his tramlines they curl outwards almost like ram's horns. His oysters are incomplete at the top and bottom but are fairly symmetrical and the tramlines have two black patches within the silver on the top of the left hand side. His tail is very well ringed with complete and multiple rings. His colour is quite dark, pewter silver to a thick intense dense black, just some tarnish to nose and paws. He is a very nice natured boy and handled well, a pleasure. Also considered for BOB Only and Awarded to - Pr Steffannez Silver Supersonic (BSH ns 22) An absolutely gorgeous, huge young man, with an exemplary near perfect pattern, and super balanced head maturing beautifully. Lovely green, round eyes developing, superb contrast and colour with bright silver sixpence against an inky dense black. Just out of sorts today from when I have judged him previously but handled for a full assessment. I hope he settles back into showing as he has so much promise. British Black/Chocolate/Cinnamon Tortie Adult Female 1 st CC and Best of Breed Greenaway s Ter Heide s Ulla (BSH h) Chocolate Tortie Female Medium sized attractive female developing well for just over a year old. Round neat head with cheeks to develop, nice gentle curve to her brow leading to a short straight, broad nose and balanced nose leather. Reasonable width to her muzzle and chin with firm level bite. Her eyes are large, round and well opened with good width between, and excellent deep orange with a really gorgeous open British expression. Medium sized ears a touch upright in set but rounded tips and otherwise set well into the contours of her head with reasonable width between. Size and substance to develop, currently she has a cobby broad back standing four square but her legs could have better bone. Medium-short tail to balance which is thicker at the base and rounded at the tip. Her coat is reasonably short, with a degree of density but it is very soft in texture. Her pattern is one of the most beautifully, even mingled coats I have seen in a considerable time, clear definition of chocolate and red tones which are rich in colour with no noticeable patches of either colour - absolutely what the standard requires. Colour only paling very minimally to the roots with just a small area of paler hairs on her chin and tail. A very nice girl, a pleasure to handle. 7

8 British Blue-Cream/Lilac Tortie/Fawn Tortie Kitten Female 1 st and Best Of Breed Farrell s Ipawz Dolly Daydream (BSH g) Blue Cream Female A nice 6½ month old kitten of good British type, just heading into adolescent. Medium size head which overall could be wider, though reasonable width between medium ears with rounded tips and well set. Nice round underlying bone structure with cheeks to fill. Her eyes are could be larger those well set with good width between, well opened and of good British open expression aided by gentle roundness to her brow. Short, straight, broad nose with super broad nose leather which really balances the face. Firm chin with good width and level bite. Muzzle could be a touch more rounded but reasonable breadth. Her body is just heading into the in-between stage, but still with equally broad proportions at present. Strong, thick legs with firm rounded paws. Medium length thick tail, which is thicker at the base and rounded tip. Another exceptionally well mingled blue-cream, it is just so beautiful to see without any patches of either colour, the cool toned cream developing well through the pale blue, just unfortunately showing a heavy degree of silvering throughout today but her coat is perfectly sound, it is short dense and has a crispness developing. A promising young lady who handled very well and beautifully prepared. British Black Silver Spotted Kitten Female 1 st and Best of Breed Cope s Metallicat Silver Athena (BSH ns 24) Black Silver Spotted Female Super British type and size to this very young female of just 5½ months. Nicely rounded head, firm chin and level bite with strong broad chin. Rounded brow, slight bump in profile to nose which is broad and reasonably short. Her muzzle could have more width and cheeks to fill but good underlying bone structure. Her eyes are a fraction deep set and could be rounder, though good width between. The colour is developing into a gorgeous green already more than 50% from the centre. Her body is large, cobby and broad, with good equal width across her shoulders and rump, deep chest, well supported on short, thick, strong legs with firm rounded paws. Her coat is short, plush with good density, but typically kitten soft. Her colour is VERY pale, a bright almost white silver, contrasting well with black which sits right to the top of the hair shaft, the wide banding effect very evident. Her pattern is excellent, M to forehead, spectacle ribbons the top being a more dense black, 3 full necklaces and several incomplete, thumb prints to her ears, a well ringed tail with a better density of black. Spots well broken throughout just some minimal linkage on her shoulders and top of her hocks leading to well barred legs. Well cleared spineline, and the spots forming the outline of a butterfly on her shoulders and oysters on her flanks. Incredibly spotty toes. A very nice nature she was a delight to handle. A promising young lady. 2 nd Greenaway s Chichi Silver Sophie (BSH ns 24) Black Silver Spotted Female Another promising baby with good British type and pattern qualities, just not having the size and substance of the winner just yet, but over a month older at almost 7 months. Neat round head set on a short thick neck with rounded brow and a very nice short, straight broad nose with nose leather which is breaking from black to brick red. Round underlying bone structure with cheeks starting to fill, with dense black spectacle ribbons starting at the corner of the top and bottom of her eyes in a downwards direction to almost meet at a point just beyond the edge of her cheeks. Good width to her muzzle, chin just falls away a touch but level bite. Her ears are small in size but they are set high, needing more width between to fit better into the contours of her head, also a touch open at the base 8

9 though with nicely rounded tips and thumb prints to her ears. Her eyes could be larger and rounder, though well opened with a pretty British expression. At present a strong hazel with green faintly to the centre. She has a deep chest with several broken necklaces, broad cobby body which could just be larger but legs have reasonable bone and rounded paws. Short tail to balance thicker at the base and well ringed. Her colour is a touch on the dull side in today's hall lighting with her spine line still to clear from black guard hairs. On her flanks her spots are well broken, with multiple spots on her toes. Her coat is kitten soft, a touch flat lying needing more density overall. She has a very nice nature, sitting proudly at the front of the pen and showing herself off to her best advantage. AOC Silver Spotted Adult BOB happily Awarded to Martin s Ch Wellmar Zebedee (BSH bs 24) Chocolate Silver Spotted Male Repeat British Tipped Adult Female A superb class of two exceptional examples of this minority breed colour showing what type can be achieved. Both really having the wow factor for me. 1 st CC & Best of Breed Atanasova's Kamasaki Moonshadow (BSH ns 12) Black Tipped Female Absolutely gorgeous female of almost 2 years, with super British breed type, colour and pattern. She is a compact female, with good weight and cobby bone. She has the most beautifully neat rounded head with cheeks filling well and a firm chin which so often has a tendency to fall away in this colour series, firm level bite. Such open beautiful balance to her face with gentle roundness to brow which leads to a short, reasonably broad nose with miniscule bump in profile. Small neat ears, with good width between, rounded tips fitting perfectly into the contours of her head. Good width to a well rounded full muzzle. Her eyes are large, round, with good width between accentuated with black eye liner, a gorgeous green colour. Head set on a short thick neck, her body is four square, short and broad set on short, thick, strong legs with firm rounded paws, short tail which is thicker at the base and rounded at the tip. Her silver is sparkling clean with a perfectly even distribution of black tipping on the head, ears, neck, flanks, back and tail, paling on the legs to her paws. Her coat is on the longer, softer side, but has reasonable density. She was a little tense but otherwise handled well and immaculate presentation. 2 nd Brooks' Windersfayre Pennylane (BSH ns 12) Black Tipped Female Another absolutely beautiful female, of just a pip over 9 months she has so much promise and is showing excellent maturity beyond her tender age. Large round head, set on a short thick neck, lovely fullness to round cheeks which are still developing. Rounded brow with broad nose, slight bump in profile and chin could be stronger. Good width to a reasonably firm chin, level bite. Medium neat ears with good width between and well set with rounded tips. She is a large girl with a big developing cobby frame, very good breadth to her back and rump, deep chest all well supported on proportionately short, thick strong legs, with truly round firm paws. Medium length tail which is thicker at the base and rounded at the tip. Her coat could be shorter, and is retaining some kitten softness but has good density. She is very unlucky to meet the winner today as they are both deserving of top spot but her colour next to the winners had a definite hint of creaminess in today's hall lighting. Her tipping is fairly 9

10 even, there is a typical concentration of denser black in the centre of her back where her coat is a touch longer and there is some evidence of ghost spotting which is still to clear out but all down to development and time is on her side. Superb condition and a joy to handle. Ginger cat of any Tabby, Tortie or Tortie Tabby Pattern Male 1 st MC & Best In Colour Cope's Gatsby (NPL h) Tabby and White What an absolute delight!
