WESTERN BIRMAN CAT CLUB – 8.9.07
MRS ANNE GREGORY
A really enjoyable
show expertly managed by our wonderful Show Manager, Jackie Pell. The
welcome was warm and friendly and the hospitality excellent. Congratulations
to Teresa Cook for the delicious home-cooked lunch, really tasty and very
welcome. I was also very grateful to Lorraine for stepping in to steward for
me when my booked steward was at home, hand-rearing her kitten. The quality
of the cats was really high, making judging challenging but very enjoyable.

AC BIRMAN GRAND
PREMIER, MALE
1 BALHARRIE’S UK GR
PR HOLLYMOON ROCKAFELLA, 13C1, MN, 19.3.1996
A very handsome and
balanced Birman of excellent type and style. Strong head with breadth of
skull and rounded contours. Medium ears spaced well apart. Full, round
cheeks and a well developed muzzle with a good chin. In profile there was a
slight dip and the nose was of medium length. Large eyes, almost round and
an excellent depth of blue. Gorgeous expression, really soft and gentle.
Long body with excellent substance and muscle tone. Medium length legs that
were sturdy with short paws. Tail was bushy and balanced well. Silky coat
that was well prepared and presented. Excellent warm seal points and lovely
contrast. He could have more ruff but that was seasonal. Some shading to the
back but the roots were pale. Neat gloves and gauntlets. He was looking
really good for his age and it was such a pity I could not award the
Imperial as it was a Sanction Show!
2 ENSOR’S GR PR
KHATIJEM LALIQUE, 13C4, MN, 8.5.2004
Another very handsome
cat who was a top quality Birman. Excellent size and substance. The head had
breadth and balance although there was not quite the breadth across the
cheeks. Beautiful eyes of excellent colour and shape. The ears were of
medium size but he flared them slightly. Very good profile and chin. Long
body with strong legs and a bushy tail to balance. Excellent silky coat with
a full ruff to frame the face. The gloves had a slight flick but the
gauntlets were well shaped. Beautiful lilac points and a magnolia tone to
the body. Excellent contrast. Shown in sparkling condition and with an
excellent temperament.
AC BIRMAN PREMIER,
FEMALE
1 WELCH’S GR PR
MASCHENKA SHAMANDA, 13C2, FN, 8.6.1999
A beautiful blue
Birman looking superb today. Excellent overall type and balance. The head
had strength, breadth and balance with a sweet, gentle expression in those
beautiful blue eyes. The ears were of medium size and were set well apart in
the rounded contours of the head. Medium length nose with a slight dip in
the profile. Full cheeks and well developed muzzle. Chin sloped away
slightly. Long body with a firm, muscular feel. Excellent substance. Strong,
sturdy legs of medium length. Bushy tail balanced well. Medium blue points.

2 COLLINS CH & PR
DUBROVA ROMANOVA, 13C1, FN, 30.3.1997
A very pretty female
with very good type and overall balance. Short head with full cheeks and
rounded muzzle. The chin sloped away slightly. Large, expressive eyes,
almost round and very expressive. Medium length nose with a slight dip in
the profile. A little small but a good weight for her size and everything
was in balance. Lovely silky coat that was beautifully prepared and
presented. Warm seal points. Warm body with a golden glow. Some shading but
again, pale at the roots. The gloves and gauntlets were well formed.
Excellent condition and temperament.
SP BIRMAN ADULT, MALE
1 COLLINS’ DUBROVA
ALDE BARAN, 13C1, M, 26.8.2004
Oh dear! This male
had absolutely no coat or ruff and was looking very “exposed”. He did,
actually, have good size, boning and muscle. The head had breadth and the
cheeks were full. Medium sized ears spaced well apart with the top of the
head showing very gently rounded contours. Large eyes, almost round, set
well apart and a good shade of blue. Lovely expression. Good body, legs and
tail. The coat was silky but lacked length and was close lying to the body.
Thin tail. Warm seal points. Good contrast to the pale beige body with a
golden glow to it. Well marked gloves and gauntlets.
SP BIRMAN KITTEN,
FEMALE
1 SPERRING’S MEADWELL
LUCKLADY LEILA, 13C1, F, 7.1.2007
A very attractive
female of excellent size and boning. At present she is at that “in between”
stage where her head appears a fraction small in relation to her body. The
medium ears were set well apart, but she tended to hold them a little high.
Well shaped eyes, spaced apart and a very good blue. Sweet expression. Very
good profile showing a slight dip. Well formed muzzle and firm chin. Long
body with a firm muscular feel. Sturdy legs and a bushy tail. Silky coat
with a pleasing ruff developing. The mask and tail were a little brindled.
The gloves showed a little flick but the socks and gauntlets were fine. She
did have a small spot but, as it was a Sanction Show, I did not penalise her
for this fault.
RP BIRMAN KITTEN,
FEMALE
1 ALLEN’S SNOSHU
MOULIN ROUGE, 13C5, F, 17.12.2006
A very pretty kitten
of promising type and overall balance. Good head with breadth of skull and
rounded contours. Medium ears set well apart. Full cheeks and good muzzle
although the chin slopes away a little. In profile there is a slight dip.
Lovely eyes, large and almost round. They were set well apart and a good
blue. Soft, gentle expression. She was a little small for her age but had
muscle tone. Slightly fine legs. Tail was bushy and balanced well. Silky
coat with the red points developing. The gloves were a little low but the
gauntlets were well shaped. Lovely contrast to the pale creamy body.
NON-PEDIGREE – TABBY
ADULT
1 LEWIS’S MC PEBBLES,
SH MACKEREL TABBY, MN, 10 YEARS.
A very handsome
senior Tabby with presence and style. He was calm, serene and very
confident. Beautiful hazel eyes, with a depth of colour and excellent
expression. Noble head with well set ears, making him appear very alert.
Strong, muscular body with sturdy legs and a long tail to balance. Excellent
coat quality, it was of medium length, fairly dense but close lying. Rich
bronze agouti ground and dense black markings. Wonderful “Lord Mayor’s
Chain” around his neck. Looking superb for his age, a great credit to his
owner. Later Best in Show – many congratulations.
2 LEWIS’S MR TIGGA,
SH TABBY, MN, 1 YEAR.
Another very handsome
fellow and unlucky to meet Pebbles in the same class. Never mind – the
potential is all there, as Mr Tigga was Mr Personality Plus! He later became
the “Peoples’ Choice”. Excellent face with large, very expressive green
eyes. Tall alert ears that gave him an inquisitive look. Very long whiskers
and beautiful teeth – I could see them as he was miaowing at me all the time
I judged him. He was a great conversationalist and was talking away to
visitors most of the day - I am sure that is how he won everyone’s hearts to
become their No. 1 Choice. He had a really lithe, muscular body with long
legs and tail to balance. Excellent coat, really glossy and a rich tabby
pattern. Wonderful condition and delightful temperament, a real character!
NON-PEDIGREE – AOC
ADULT
1 LEWIS’S MC GYPSY,
SH TABBY/TORTIE/WHITE, FN, 2 YEARS.
This female was a
little shy but very attractive and well-balanced overall. I do not think she
was a tortie tabby, the fawny/cream tones that were apparent formed the
agouti ground of the blue classic tabby pattern in my opinion. The white was
immaculate and she really was in sparkling condition with a satiny gloss to
her coat. She had a beautiful face with large ears and such expressive green
eyes making her look so sweet and gentle. Beautifully shown in excellent
condition and with an excellent temperament.
AC BREEDERS KITTEN,
MALE
1 COLLINS’ DUBROVA
REMUS, 13C5, M, 20.5.2007
A promising baby who
was a lovely size and feel for his tender age. The skull had breadth and the
face was well shaped with full cheeks and a rounded muzzle. The ears were of
medium size and set well apart. In profile there was a slight dip and a good
chin. The eyes were large, almost round, spaced well apart and very
expressive. Good tone of blue. Long body with a solid feel. Promising bone
to the sturdy legs. Tail balanced well. Lovely silky coat with the points
developing to a good red. The gloves were a little low but the gauntlets
were excellent. Excellent condition and temperament.
AC NON-BREEDERS
KITTEN, MALE
1 ALLEN’S CARAMLEIGH
SPRINGTIME BEAU, 13C15, M, 21.3.2007
Friendly and
affectionate kitten of excellent size and substance for his age. Good head
with strength of skull and gently rounded contours. The ears were of medium
size and spaced well apart. Very good profile showing a slight dip. Large,
expressive eyes, almost round and set well. The colour could be a more
brilliant blue. Muzzle developing. Long body with a firm, muscular feel.
Strong legs and a bushy tail. Silky coat with a ruff developing to frame the
face. I felt he could have had a little more show preparation, particularly
on his stomach! The gloves were a little low but the socks and gauntlets
were fine. Points still developing, but there was the red “M” on his
forehead and some leg barring. Excellent condition and temperament.
AC DEBUTANTE NEUTER
1 BATEMAN’S MOONVIEW
MACUSHLA, 13C1, MN, 16.4.2006
What a star! This
young male was everything I would want in a Birman; he was of very good
type, big, solid, cuddly, purry and affectionate! Excellent size for his age
with strong boning and firm muscle. Massive but NOT fat! The head had
breadth with rounded contours. Medium ears set well apart. Slight dip in the
profile and good chin depth. Full cheeks and muzzle. The eyes were large,
expressive but a little pale. Long body with excellent legs and tail. Lovely
coat with a silken texture. Warm seal points. Excellent contrast to the
body. Well formed gloves and gauntlets.
2 LOXTON’S INNUENDO
FAT BOTTOMED GIRL, 13C7, FN, 30.3.2005
A feisty lady with a
real Birman “huff” but no malice and was fine to judge. I would have liked a
little more breadth to the skull. The ears were of medium size and set well.
Fairly full cheeks and muzzle but the chin sloped away. Very good eyes for
shape, colour and expression. Slight dip in the profile. Long body with good
muscle. Sturdy legs and a bushy tail of proportionate length. Silky coat
with hot cream points and good contrast. The gloves matched well. The
gauntlets were a little short but well shaped. Excellent condition.
Thank you to all the
exhibitors for entering their beautiful cats – you made my day!

The Southern &
South Western Barman Cat Club Show
8 September
2007
What a start to
a show, I was greeted by a six foot tall purple pussy near the car park,
dressed as a veterinary surgeon, who grabbed my hand and had me skipping to
the show hall - did I feel daft? You bet I did! However, it was all in
good fun and I later found out that it was my steward (Jane Carter) in
disguise, so you can imagine what the rest of the day was like in her
company. Thank you Jane for being such a good steward, I thoroughly enjoyed
my day and I hope you did too and I do hope you will steward for me again.
This show is always such a friendly event, in no small part to the hard
working show team (headed by Jackie Pell) and the committee and I was
delighted to be part of it again. Everything appeared to run like clockwork
with everyone working really hard to make it an enjoyable and hopefully, a
successful day. The hospitality was first rate, the lunch was delicious and
the goody bag at the end of the day was much appreciated. The quality of
the exhibits was first class and I handled some super cats during the day
and I thank their owners for giving me the opportunity of doing so.
IMPERIAL – AC
BIRMAN GRAND PREMIER FEMALE
This was a
lovely class to judge as both of the girls entered were of the highest
quality both were immaculate in their presentation but Bellissima just had
the edge today, she had a super confident ‘look’ and the most regal of
poses.
1. SPERRING’S
CH & UK GR PR MEADWELL BELLISSIMA – 13c1, 23.02.97 An absolutely stunning
seal point girl of fabulous type with everything so well balanced 10 ½ years
old and she looked amazing. She had the most beautiful sapphire blue eyes
set in a really broad heart shaped face, medium triangular ears that were
set wide, excellent nose length and profile, very full cheeks, a good
breadth to her muzzle and a good depth to her chin. She had a large and
lengthy frame that was weighty and well covered, with sound boning to her
limbs, large rounded feet and a fully furnished proportionate tail. She was
dressed in a wealth of coat that was the colour of well done toast and she
had a large ruff framing her lovely face. There was an excellent depth and
uniformity of seal colour on her legs and tail with just a hint of brindling
to her mask. Her feet were beautifully white; they were well matched back
and front with long gauntlets, the right gauntlet not quite as tapered as
the left but matching in length. Her condition and presentation was
faultless, she absolutely sparkled! A delight to handle and she thoroughly
deserved her overall BIS win later in the day. Congratulations to her
owner/breeder.
WELCH’S GR PR
MASCHENKA SHAMANDA – 13c2, 08.06.1999 Another gorgeous girl who I have had
the pleasure of judging in the past and today she still looked very
impressive. She had excellent type, a nice breadth of head and her medium
sized ears were placed wide, good nose length and profile, beautiful
expressive blue eyes, full cheeks and good muzzle width, ample depth to her
chin. She had excellent bone and body length, her tail for perfection
could have been just a tad longer but it was well furnished. She was dressed
in a beautiful soft coat that was very full and she had a large ruff, her
body fur was glacial in tone with just a little shading along her back but
it still contrasted well with her medium blue uniform points. Her front
gloves were scalloped and her socks almost matched, her gauntlets were long,
rounded rather than tapered but her feet were lovely and white. A beautiful
girl with a superb nature who was shown in tip top condition.
GRAND – AC
BIRMAN PREMIER MALE
As with the
girls these two boys were outstanding and I just wished I could have given
them both the first place as there was not much to separate them, I really
had to split hairs to decide and perhaps on another occasion the placings
could easily be reversed.
1. ENSOR’S
GR PR KHATIJEM LALIQUE – 13c4, 08.05.2004. A very imposing 3 year old
Lilac point lad with such good type and overall balance, he had a large
muscular and well covered frame with a medium length bushy tail, medium
length well boned legs and large round paws; his feet were all well marked
and snowy white and his points were the softest pinkish/grey complimenting
his wealth of magnolia coloured coat, he had a huge ruff which framed his
strong broad head, his ears were medium in size and placed wide, he had
almost round deep sapphire blue eyes with such a gentle expression, good
width to his cheeks, firm muzzle, good depth of chin and a medium length
nose with just a slight dip in his profile. He was a very handsome lad with
such a gentle disposition and he was presented in A1 condition.

and style and was unlucky to meet the winner of this class. He had super
type and balance with a very handsome facial expression, the most amazing
deep blue eyes, set just of the round, lovely ear placement, good width to
his cheeks and a firm chin. He had a large and well covered body with very
good bone to his legs and a very full proportionate tail. He was dressed in
a moderately full coat with a small ruff, there was some surface shading to
his body fur but it was pale beige at the roots, his points colouring was a
lovely seal brown giving wonderful contrasts. His well marked feet were
sparkling white and his overall presentation could not be faulted. His
temperament as always was superb, such a gentleman and a great pleasure to
judge.

red to the centre of her mask, muzzle and ears, her legs and tail were
somewhat colder in tone. She had a moderately full coat that had ghost
tortie/tabby shading to her body, but it was quite soft and well prepared.

such an outgoing personality, He had a large, muscular frame with long legs
and a long ringed tail, He had a beautiful glossy coat with a striking tabby
pattern. He had a triangular head shape with large upright ears, the most
expressive bright green eyes, a rusty coloured nose and lovely long
whiskers. He was such a character he never stopped chatting even when he was
put back in his pen. He obviously loved the attention and conversing with
the public, so I wasn’t at all surprised when he was voted the peoples
choice later in the day. Mr Tigga was certainly a charismatic character
with a delightful temperament who was shown in first class condition.

M C GYPSY (FN) 2 years old.
Gypsy was a
shy little girl but she was certainly very pretty with such lovely
expression to her yellowy/ green eyes, she had a lovely head shape with
large ears giving her an alert look. She had a beautiful coat with lovely
markings, although I couldn’t quite make up my mind as to whether she was a
blue tabby & white or a dilute tortie tabby & white as she had what looked
like cream areas to her coat, especially a cream spot on her bib, the
pattern though was well defined and her white areas sparkled. She was quite
weighty with strong limbs and a thick bushy tail. She was beautifully shown
and she was in excellent condition.

PEBBLES. SH MACKEREL TABBY (MN) - 10 years old
Pebbles was a
very gentle giant, who was very handsome and obviously very well fed as he
had a nicely rounded tummy! He had such quite presence and a fantastic
personality. He had a lovely head and well set ears, such a kind face and
gentle expression to his greenish/brown eyes. He had a soft glossy coat with
a striking mackerel tabby pattern, consisting of a lovely warm ground colour
and beautiful black markings. He looked absolutely wonderful for his age and
he was beautifully turned out. Congratulations to his owners on his Best in
show win later in the day
