John S Harrison
My thanks to Show Managers Bruce, Gillian and Elaine for inviting me to
judge at this show; it is many years since I last judged here having in recent
years been an exhibitor. The entry was good, the organisation superb and the
atmosphere warm and friendly …. what more can one ask for? Mark and I
travelled up in the morning and were back home in Wales by mid evening - my
thanks as always to Mark.
Oriental Female Grand
1 GCC n/a
Picton's CH MYAA MIMA 43n 12-12-2005
This lady was just a bit stroppy and
really didn't do anything to endear herself! Head overall rather short and
lacking balance. Ears of excellent size, shape and set with very good width
between. Good profile. Firm chin, bite noticeably undershot. Bright green eyes
of correct set, though rather full. Body of very good type and length. Tail
rather short and lacking sufficient taper with terminal defect. Coat very short
and close lying, excellent colour, very well shaded though showing fairly heavy
vestigial markings. Overall a nice queen, but with too many faults for this
high award.
Oriental Shaded Adult
BoB not
awarded
Considered for BoB : Picton's CH MYAA MIMA 43n
Wrong class : Samphier's EIREACHDAIL LOVEISINTHEAIR 43g
22-04-2006
This magnificent female has quite excellent type and is one of
the best Orientals I have had the pleasure of judging for many years … she
is truly exquisite! Ears very large and well set. Excellent top of head.
Excellent profile. Excellent lines to wedge. Vivid green eyes of excellent
shape and set. Excellent long slender body of true Oriental type - a very
elegant lady indeed. Very short close lying coat of excellent texture.
Excellent mix of blue and cream BUT unfortunately I could see no evidence of
any Shading and had to conclude that she is not infact a Shaded but rather an
Oriental Spotted Tabby, albeit with a very feint and indistinct pattern. I was
bitterly disappointed that I had to mark this superb queen accordingly for she
is an Oriental of great quality, but regrettably not a Shaded. A most elegant
lady shown in superb condition with the most delightful temperament. Without
doubt she was the finest Oriental in the show.
Oriental Grand
Premier Male
GCC - Bruno's PR EIREACHDAIL PLUM MACDUFF 37 25-12-2003
An excellent exhibit of great quality. A head of correct balance and
overall excellence. Ears of excellent size shape and set. Excellent muzzle with
very good lines to wedge. Excellent profile overall with just a slight bump on
the nose. Green eyes of excellent shape and set. Excellent length of body
(albeit just a tad chubby) with long limbs and neat paws. Tail of good length
and taper. Coat very short and close lying, dense black and sound to the roots.
An excellent exhibit with a truly delightful nature. Very well presented and
well worthy of the award.
2 Res GPC n/a Buchan's PR KEELOKAN HAGAN DAZ
35 24-06-2005
Unfortunately this laddie was not presented to best advantage
and had a very grubby nose and face. Ears of fair shape and size, well set.
Fairly good profile, firm chin, very untidy bite. Muzzle a little weak and
lacking substance under the cheek bones spoiling the lines to the wedge. Eyes
of good shape and set. Body of good length. Long slim elegant legs. Tail very
short and lacking sufficient taper. Coat rather long and lacking sparkle.
Oriental Red Neuter
1 PC & BoB Allan's STATIONARY
AUTUMNFLAME 37d 13-08-2004
Head of overall pleasing type and very good
length. Ears of good size and shape, well set. Good top of head and profile.
Good firm chin and correct bite. Eyes good shape and set, fairly good green in
colour. Long body of elegant type. Long slender legs, very neat paws. Tail just
a little short for balance. Coat of very good texture, close lying, but rather
long. Very good rich red colour, solid dorsal area but showing heavy ghosting
to sides. Excellent condition and temperament. Well deserving of PC
2
Cox' KHERAF RED HOTSHOT 37d 26-05-2006 A large cat of good overall type. Well
balanced head. Ears of good size and shape, set well. Good top of head and
profile. Eyes of correct setting, but very full and of a clear mustard colour
with little indication of green. Long well built body with balanced legs and
tail. Coat of good length and texture. Very good colour but showing an
unacceptable degree of markings for a Red SELF - this lad really has the most
clearly defined pattern I've seen in a red either self or tabby, with clear
spots to sides and very clear, distinct and defined broken spine lines - yep a
very attractive lad! Excellent temperament.
