SOUTH-WEST BRITISH SHORTHAIR CAT CLUB 8 Championship Show JUDGE REPORT SOUTH-WEST BRITISH SHORTHAIR CAT CLUB 28/09/2019 JANET GREEN (FIFe Int) SOUTH-WEST BRITISH SHORTHAIR CAT CLUB 8th Championship Show held September 28th 2019 at Taunton Judge Report: Janet Green (FIFe International Judge) It was a great pleasure to judge for this friendly club and my thanks go to Show Managers, Bruce and Monica Acton, Secretary Lesley Tricker and Chairman Susan Newman for the kind invitation. Thank you also for the gift - a lasting memento. It was a rare visit for me to the South West and as is my habit at every show to “try to see something you can’t see in the show hall” I was rewarded with a brief opportunity to visit “The County” one of Taunton’s historic buildings - a onetime magnificent hotel, cinema and venue for legendary pop groups - now a glorious Waterstones bookshop with, incidentally, a good selection of cat related items. Wellsprings Leisure Centre is a most pleasant venue with good facilities and though lighting was generally good it was unfortunately rather poor for viewing the Pets and the BIS pens. Something was up with the BSH exhibits as several were not at ease as if a wave of agitation had surfed along a whole row!? I was pleased with the general level of presentation and there were some outstanding examples of British-ness. Long may it reign! Congratulations to CHUPAVI CLYDES BONNIE LASS a lilac tortie Best Kitten; GR CH BOUCLES MONSIEUR INCROYABLE a fab Selkirk Rex Best Adult, and the wonderful Brown Spottie Neuter IGR CH & I GR PR WELLMAR BALTI the epitome of a British Shorthair and my Overall Best in Show. BREED CLASSES SECTION 3 - BRITISH, MANX, SELKIRK REX & CHARTREUX ADULTS IMPERIAL CLASS 3 - AV SECTION 3 GR CH ADULT MALE Three super Grand Champion males not yet fully matured so still needing time for refinement Imperial Grand Challenge Certificate awarded to GR CH TOMMY OF PERLA POLUDNIA, (BSH e), M. 16.07.2018 owned by Mrs R Keyes. The youngest in the class at only just over a year old but 1 JUDGE REPORT SOUTH-WEST BRITISH SHORTHAIR CAT CLUB 28/09/2019 JANET GREEN (FIFe Int) showing remarkable physical development and harmony which earned him the certificate. A Polish import and a real heavy weight. So well-muscled, very solid and substantial from continental lines. He has a typically round British head still to fill out with a correct Brit profile showing a break, good bite, good top and small-medium rounded. well set ears. He has a very appealing facial expression with large round eyes of a promising orange shade. He has a few slight coat issues associated with youth and seasonality, a few vestigial markings but it’s of good density and is short with a degree of variable crispness. The colour appeared a medium and warm shade of cream. He was well groomed and presented well in his pen. He has a good temperament and is conducive to handling and I am sure he will go the distance. Reserve Imperial Grand Challenge Certificate awarded to GR CH REVODNA FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, (BSH a 03), M. 16.09.2017 owned by Mrs E A Blagdon. My heart went to this handsome and attractive bi-coloured boy. At two years of age he still has much maturing to do. He’s a really big boy with good bone and a large frame. Well shown in his double pen. His head type is excellent; large and round, just needing to fill out a bit but with a correct British side profile with a break and a broad top of head, good bite, round, orange eyes and a very alert expression.. Ears are medium sized and well placed. He is still a bit long in the body and limbs but with added maturity and some pumping up he will be super. This is something you simply cannot rush. His coat is of fair density showing some breakage but is a bit soft and less dense in places no doubt due to seasonal change. Blue coat colour is fairly sound considering the time of year but varies in tone being lighter on the head and darker on the tail. Pattern is demanding in the BSH and this cat does well. He has a good visual balance of clean white to colour falling into the one third to one half white with an inverted V white blaze on the face, white muzzle, white chest, white on the legs and an almost complete white collar. Colour/pattern commands points for consideration and he is excellent in both. Pattern delineation is good but will be even better with increased density of a winter jacket. He has a delightful personality and was well presented. 2 JUDGE REPORT SOUTH-WEST BRITISH SHORTHAIR CAT CLUB 28/09/2019 JANET GREEN (FIFe Int) Also considered GR CH BOUCLES MONSIEUR INCROYABLE (TICA LA BW SGC), (SRL n 23), M. 29.06.2017 owned and bred by Miss S L Walker. Yet another worthy Grand Champion. It was very close between him and the BSH for the Reserve. Overall morphology complies with the standard, rectangular body shape, well-muscled and sturdy. Impressive head type with angular muzzle, good bite, round expressive eyes and typical side profile. Certainly has the coat to flaunt though it was a touch seasonal and harsh in places. Good uniformity of length. Extremely well tousled with waves and so very tactile! No points for colour or pattern in this breed but a pleasant brown mactabby. Expertly presented by someone with a well experienced hand. Lovely cat to handle. Very easy going obviously well travelled. Later Best Adult in Show. Congratulations. IMPERIAL CLASS 3 - AV SECTION 3 GR CH ADULT FEMALE Imperial Grand Challenge Certificate awarded to GR CH LAMBLIKE MOONWALK, (SRL f), F. 08.06.2018 owned by Mrs P Tegg. Stood out due to her very pleasing attitude and facial expression and typical Selkirk “look”. She has a well-rounded head, correct side profile and muzzle with good bite. Ears are well set, not too large, eyes decidedly round and expressive. Face decorated with a super network of the cutest whiskers! She has excellent conformation and body type, rectangular in proportions, strong and muscular yet still feminine with limbs and tail proportionate to body length. The mid long coat though well waved is understandably still a bit seasonal waiting to thicken up and as a result could have a bit more volume and be a little more tousled. The black tortoiseshell colours and pattern which are well distributed highlight the attractiveness of the waved look. Super in temperament a pleasure to handle and well presented. BRITISH SH BLACK ADULT Best of Breed awarded to CH XZIBIT BEAR HUG, (BSH n), M. 23.02.2018 owned by Mrs A McEntee. One of many today who was not a happy chappy – not him I am sure but affected by something in the neighbourhood. An impressive exhibit, large and well grown with a substantial build. I liked his overall look very much and in particular his facial expression which reminded me of 3 JUDGE REPORT SOUTH-WEST BRITISH SHORTHAIR CAT CLUB 28/09/2019 JANET GREEN (FIFe Int) his famous father. He has a large, round head with strength to the muzzle, cheeks still developing, an excellent Brit profile with short straight nose and a good bite. I would prefer his eyes to be deeper in colour. He has a really good top of head and well set medium sized ears. He still has maturing to do and he appeared a bit long in the body, with proportionate length to the limbs and the well- shaped tail. He has bags of time to pump up and will I am sure look truly spectacular when matured. Pity we can’t press the fast forward button to see him in a couple of years’ time! Coat-wise he appeared a bit seasonal being a bit soft and a bit unsound with a fair density. The great thing is he has good blackness without any rustiness of any sort. A well-presented cat who looked well in his double pen. Quality breeding. A cat of true Britishness and potential. BRITISH SH BLUE ADULT MALE 1st Open awarded to JOANDTO MERLIN, (BSH a), M. 14.04.2018 owned by Miss H Miller & Miss T Bullen. This cat has quite a lot going for him in terms of his general conformation and basic type. However the long and short of it is – this cat is simply “not ready for the show bench”. A phrase often used by judges years ago when there were less shows and a true show season limited to eight months of the year. He has a fairly typical head, needing to fill out in the cheeks and muzzle to give more roundness, the muzzle is rather too pronounced which makes his side profile exhibit a nose break which looks a bit too deep. On the plus side he has round light orange eyes and medium sized ears. His bite appeared ok. The body is well proportioned but needs a bit more size which can come with more maturity. My main issue was with this cat’s coat – my reason for withholding the certificate. At a FIFe show where the cat is presented by the exhibitor at the judges table I would be able to talk this through privately with the owner. Instead I have to write it here. The coat was too soft, had a lot of loose hair, lacked density, had a lot of markings and was a peculiar colour.

  • The Cats of My Life
    All the cats of my life by Yasmin Donlon All the cats of my life by Yasmin Donlon My husband, Michael and I are owned at this moment in time by three cats - Aimee, a female blue Burmese, Darbia Tangutica (Tangye for short) after the author, Derek Tangye who inspired me to write in the first place, who is a stumpy red tabby and white Manx cat, and Darbia Bling Bling, a proper Manx - no tail at all. He is classed as a Rumpie Riser. In a few weeks time we will be taking ownership of a blue Cornish Rex. Fell in love with one of these at a cat show. It was asleep in a hammock and had chiselled angular features. We show our cats up and down the country. When initially I made enquiries about showing Tangye I met with the bureaucracy of the complicated forms to fill in. I discovered Tangye was not allowed in G.C.C.F. shows and had to instead put him in a relatively new formed set up, Fife (a bit like the football). I was advised that once we had been to our first show we would meet like-minded people and be hooked – hook, line and sinker. I asked if there were many men who went, as I did not want Michael sticking out like a sore thumb amongst a load of women talking cats. I was reassured that men singly and as half of couples regularly attended all the cat shows. The forms which I had to complete required the names of the sire and dam – Tangye’s dad and mum, his G.C.C.F.

  • A WCF Cat Show How It Works and What Happens
    A WCF Cat Show How it works and what happens Rev. 29.11.2014. Beverly Elian, Romania (AB WCF) Adapted from a magazine article WCF Cat Show is first and foremost a beauty competition! Cats are groomed carefully, owners are washing, brushing, trimming their cats until the last moment to make them as beautiful as possible, hoping to win title all breeders and owners want - Best In Show! Cat shows are where friends who all enjoy the pleasure of competition get to together and enjoy the time together whilst showing their cats. Many of us travel thousands of kilometers with our precious cats to spend a weekend in a nice hotel, enjoy evenings with other exhibitors, make new friends, and the competition during the day is part of the pleasure. Part of my circle of friends' tradition is the owner of the winner buys the drinks that evening! The day starts with the vetting in. This means that each cat must go through a vet check to ensure that it is fully vaccinated against Rabies, Panleucopenia and Rhinotracheitis, visibly the cat is in excellent health and no external parasites can be seen. The microchip is also checked to ensure that the cat is actually the one registered and paid for in the show. The exhibitor then checks in, gets his cage number and is allowed into the show hall. Some organizers provide metal cages to be decorated with the exhibitor's choice of curtains, some organizers allow people to bring their own cloth cages. No matter what cages are used, the exhibitors must provide comfort, a litter box and water for the cats during the day.

  • Selkirk Rex Cat Breeding Policy
    Selkirk Rex Cat Breeding Policy Guidelines for Healthy & Responsible Breeding 2 Forward This breeding policy has been written to accompany and supplement the Selkirk Rex Registration Policy and should be read in conjunction with that document. If there are any queries regarding either document, these should be referred to the Breed Advisory Committee delegates of the affiliated Selkirk Rex Cat Club. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to breeders of Selkirk Rex Cats, to ensure best practice prevails. The over-riding objective is to conserve and improve the SelkirkRex cat, working to meet all aspects of the Standard of Points, which describes the ideal for the breed. Breeders should learn how to gain the best out of their breeding plans by adding value into the Selkirk Rex and how to make decisions that can only better its on-going development. A balance should be sourced to balance the need for selective outcrossing to increase the gene pool and improve stamina and health with the need to breed Selkirk Rex with sufficient preceding generations of Selkirk to Selkirkmatings to produce consistent type. Co-operation between breeders, with the GCCF and internationally, will ensure that diverse breeding lines are maintained within the breed and the breeders have sufficient options to maintain low inbreeding coefficients.

  • Spectators Guide 2013
    Calgary Cat Association Page 1 www.CalgaryCatShow.com Calgary Cat Association WHAT IS A CAT SHOW? The show consists of individual judging rings and the cats entered in the show. There is a a judge, one or more clerks, and one or more stewards in each judging ring. The clerks keep track of the judge’s decisions and the stewards disinfect the cages after each cat is judged. This show is governed by the rules set forth by The International Cat Association (TICA). TICA is a genetic registry, recognizing hundreds of different colors and patterns. What is happening in the Show Hall The show hall is organized into three main areas: 1. Vendor’s area. This is arranged around the outside walls of the arena and at the edge of the benching areas. Vendors offering all things “cat” are at the show. They have a wide selection of beds, scratching posts, pet food, handcrafted cat toys, etc. for purchase. Feel free to stop and ask questions about the products. 2. Benching Area This area is the rows of decorated shelters and cages in the middle of the arena. The exhibitors display their cats here when they are not being judged. These shelters and cages are the cats’ “home” while at the show. 3. Judging rings. Also located along the outside of the benching area. This is where the judges evaluate the championship cats, kittens, alters and household pets. There are chairs in front of the judging tables and spectators are welcome to sit and watch judges handle the cats. Questions are welcome in the “final” rings when judges are describing the merits of the cats and awarding the plaques, but would be distracting during the actual judging process.

  • Basic Genetics for the Cat Breeder
    BASIC GENETICS FOR THE CAT BREEDER Text Copyright ©2006 Hilary G. Helmrich Page 1 of 19 All rights reserved including the right of reproduction in whole or in part in any form. No reproduction of the contents of this publication can be made without written permission. Basic Genetics for the Cat Breeder Introduction The genes that control coat, color and pattern in cats are now being identified and studied. This has been made possible by the mapping of the feline genome, along with the genes that control diseases and structural abnormalities. The resulting information, as it becomes available, allows breeders and others interested in the subject plan what colors will result from a particular mat- ing. In addition, it is now possible to learn more about how diseases and abnormalities can be deselected or eliminated before they become an integral part of a breed. An in depth discussion of colors and patterns can be found at “Understanding the Basic Genetics of Cat Colors” at http://catgenes.org/pdf/understanding-cat-colors.pdf. The following material is a discussion of basic genetics that breeders of pedigreed animals need to know in order to understand some of the issues facing those who work with pedigreed ani- mals. Those breeders who have been successful have in some way intuitively mastered these basics over time. We see this in all species that are selectively bred. Some groups, such as food animals (cows, pigs, chickens, etc), have been easier to study due to the massive scale in which offspring are produced. We can learn from these large groups because their breeders keep care- ful tabulations of the positive - as well as negative - influences.

  • Standards 05-06
    $9.00 SHOW STANDARDS MAY 1, 2019 - APRIL 30, 2020 THE CAT FANCIERS’ ASSOCIATION, INC.® PREFACE What is a standard? It is not a cat. A standard is an abstract aesthetic ideal. The realization of a good standard would result in a work of art or, at the very least, an object possessing artistic unity. Artistic unity requires that individual parts be in harmony with one another; that they possess balance and proportion; that together they enhance each other and strengthen the whole. A good work of art has its own inner logic. There is a feeling of inevitability and rightness about each detail. With a standard we aim at some satisfying visual shape that possesses a certain style. Style, too, implies an inner harmony and consisten- cy between the parts. In the realm of aesthetics, the whole is really greater than the sum of its parts, but each part enhances or detracts from the whole. Its realization should possess aesthetic and artistic validity. Nothing grotesque or distorted or ugly is implicit in the standard. Why then do some winning cats look ugly or distorted? Because they violate in some way the basic concept. A cat can have individual “good” features, and yet not fulfill the ideal of the standard. In a poor or amateurish work of art, some parts clash or can not be harmonized with other parts. There can be much brilliance coupled with abysmal weakness. Artistic unity is impaired or absent. If one analyzes any cat that appears “ugly,” one will discover that some feature or combination of features does not blend in well, or abruptly interferes, with the basic overall pattern of lines and planes.
