Open Class - 1st & Best of Breed

'This girl shows much promise. Good top of head with ears a little obvious at present, needing time to drop, short, pure white furnishings. Smooth rounded skull. Round eyes of blue green colour developing well, not yet set, complimented by dark brown pigment. Brick nose leather with good liner and good size nostrils. Wide muzzle with level bite, appears to be teething, and cheeks need to fill out. Good body conformation, covered by a full coat lightly, but evenly tipped. White frill and pure white undercoat. Tail short and well covered in proportion to body. Short, fat legs with no dusty markings to underside of paws. Overall effect was of a very pleasing baby that shows a lot of promise for the future.'

'What a doll - I thought she was just beautiful! Excellent head and Persian type. Broad top of head. Ears nicely set. Round of eyes of green with black rims. Snub nose with a nice outline. Firm chin. Square, cobby body. Short fat legs. Really full, bouffant coat. Pure white undercoat, very lightly tipped in black. Danced around the trolley like a fairy princess. Presented to perfection. Such a sweet nature. A very bright future ahead for this baby.'

The Yorkshire County Championship Cat Show 22.10.05 (Judge: Mr John Hansson)

Open Class - second place out of eight

'This was also a most attractive kitten who would easily have warranted a BOB. Beautifully prepared. Slightly heavier brow, which was well rounded, generally good breadth across her cheeks, good stop and short nose, chin has both good breadth and depth. Ears could be a touch neater, very pleasing, bold, well rounded eye shape of good larger size, the colour is a clear bright green. Body has good size and bone for her age, developing with compact body shape, quite short well boned legs and good size paws, full bush tail of good shorter length. Lovely coat texture, soft, silky and beautifully prepared, the length very good, with good density and standing well from the body, has good frontal frill and ruff present. Tipping not quite so even with slightly deeper intensity on her brow, lovely clear white undercoat, brick nose leather with darker pigment around both it and the eyes, black paw pads. Excellent condition and lovely temperament'.

Any Colour Persian Limit Kitten (Judge: Mr John Walker)

1st Place

'Chinchilla kitten of six months with good bone and substance for her age. Lovely well groomed coat, tipping a little uneven at the moment. Very nice head type with very nice eye colour. She was wearing black mascara to her eyes, lips and black on the paws. Lovely to handle. Nice baby.'

January 2005 - Cameo, Pewter & Smoke Society Championship Cat Show

2nd place - Judge - Mrs Pat Perkins

"Another lovely, young lady of six months. Super coat, very long and flowing, nice ruff, even tipping, wide full tail, clear hocks and feet. Rounded top of head, ears still held a tad high, nicely feathered. Medium length to nose, brick leather, well outlined, wide open eyes, the colour developing from the centre, still teething which made her muzzle a little pinched. Sweet youngster, with a lot going for her".

Tamara is now a proud mum to two little boys. More show pictures of Tamara on our Photos page.
