My thanks to Joe Mullen, Pat Parrish and the Committee for inviting me to judge. My thanks as always to 'Parkinson' for stewarding for me.
AOV FOREIGN CHAMPION, Female
1 Bayley's CH NEMOREZ SPELLBINDER 72/45s A small fine queen who was extremely nervous and obviously was not enjoying herself and giving a good representation of a Bushbaby! Ears of good size and set, skull too flat lacking dome. Fairly good profile, nose a little long. Eyes very full. Excellent coat length and texture, excellent silver ground. Ticking lacking clarity and definition.
2 Temp's CH NATZKATZ ANNABELLE. 72/45q Ears of fair shape and set, possibly a little small for balance. Fair muzzle. Nose good length. Fair profile. Eyes very full. Body type rather heavy, cobby, and lacking elegance. Coat rather long showing fair ticking.
AV ORIENTAL CHAMPION, Male
GR CC Bailey's CH METAXA SAND STORM. 37fn Head of very good shape with excellent lines to wedge. Skull a little flat giving profile more angulation than I like. Ears excellent size, shape and set. Green eyes of excellent shape and set. Excellent body type, needing just a little more body weight. Tail of good length and taper. Excellent short coat of very good colour, but rather greasy. I nearly withheld the award from this chap on the grounds of presentation. His coat was very sticky and he reeked of 'Tom cat'. Having had a stud cat who's greatest joy was to wet his bed and roll in it I made an allowance - I hope this was the reason and not just lack of presentation.
Foreign White Adult Female
1 & CC Bauerfeind's GR CH SHIMILEETA MAGICPRINCESS. At 5 years of age this lovely old lady is definitely fast approaching her "Best Before Date". Ears excellent size, shape and set. Excellent profile. Excellent eye shape and set. Coat of excellent short length and texture. Body type rather matronly! Excellent presentation and what a wonderful temperament.
2 Bauerfeind's GR CH SHIMILEETA MADEINHEAVEN Another very lovely old lady who at nearly 6 is definitely losing the battle of the bulge!! Very good profile. Excellent blue eyes. Excellent coat texture. Excellent presentation. Really lovely to handle these Grand Ladies again.
Oriental Tortie Adult
1,CC & BoB Brown's ADMONSH DOMINIQUE A very attractive 9 month female. Ears very good shape and set. Green eyes of very good shape and set. Pleasing profile. Muzzle just a trifle square spoiling lines to wedge. Excellent body type, very elegant. Excellent rich colouring totally sound to the roots, showing some Classic pattern ghosting. Well deserving of CC.
Foreign White Neuter Male
1& PC & BoB Bauerfeind's PR SHIMILEETA OLIVERTWIST A very nice chap indeed. Ears good shape and set, a little more size would be beneficial. Excellent profile/ Good muzzle. Excellent eye shape and set. Excellent coat length and texture. Excellent presentation as one expects from this exhibitor.
Foreign White Neuter Female
1PC Bauerfeind's GR CH & PR SHIMILEETA AKINDOFMAGIC A very beautiful old granny who at 7½ seemed to be enjoying her day out but for BoB had to give way to her Grandson! Ears of very good shape and set. Very good profile. Very good eye shape and set, good colour. Excellent coat texture. Excellent presentation. Wonderful temperament.
Oriental Red Neuterr
1 PC & BoB N/A Stafford's PR HEYBURY UTTERLY RED Ears good size and set. Skull too flat, rather short in profile. Excellent deep chin. Muzzle very square. Eyes good shape but far too amber in colour. Body definitely showing the need for a diet!, lacking elegance and making the head appear rather small. Tail needs length. Very good coat length and texture. Very good depth of colour.
Considered for BoB: Hickmore's PR WESGARTH WILLSCARLET. A very nice chap, but unfortunately showing very distinct pattern complete with broken dorsal lines.
