THE BIRMAN, RAGDOLL & ASSOCIATED BREEDS CLUB ALL BREEDS CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW (OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS OF ACF and CCCA Affiliated Bodies) SUNDAY 19th June 2016 John Frost Stadium, Cheong Park Cnr Eastfield & Bayswater Roads, Croydon Melways Ref: 50 G8 JUDGING PANEL Ring 1 - All Exhibits HEATHER ROBERTS ‐ TICA USA Dr. Heather Roberts is an American International All Breeds judge in TICA and serves on the TICA Genetics Committee. Although originally from Texas, she has lived in California for the last 15 years. Currently she is the Dean of Sciences and Math at a small college in northern California. She is married to Jeff Roberts, also an All Breeds judge in TICA. The name of their cattery “PuraVida” reflects their love for paradise in Costa Rica. Heather breeds Singapuras and European Burmese and finds the incredible intelligence of the Singapura and the laidback personality of the European Burmese to be a nice balance in her life. Their breeding program focuses on healthy cats with loving temperaments foremost. She has also shown Bengal, Cymric, Siberian, Maine Coon, Somali, Bombay, and companion cats. She has had the extreme pleasure of judging in Australia and New Zealand several times over recent years. She enjoys the countryside, the new friendships, and of course the fabulous quality of the cats. She has imported cats from Australia and New Zealand for use in her own breeding program, and has exported cats back to Australia in an effort to truly internationalize some gene pools. She hopes to someday import a lovely Burmilla for her and Jeff to enjoy and promote in TICA. She has been an All Breeds judge for seven years and truly enjoys the pleasures of judging lovely cats. Ring 2 - All Exhibits BRIAN PEARSON ‐ CFA USA I have lived my entire life in the Midwest of the United States between Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas. I graduated high school in Kansas City, Missouri. I received my bachelors and masters in education and became an English teacher at public schools and spent 38 years teaching 12-year-old students the joys of grammar, writing, reading, and speaking. My years in the classroom taught me many things; compassion, flexibility, ingenuity, a sense of humor, and humanity. I enjoyed showing dogs as a child and was a junior handler. My breed was Yorkshire Terriers, but I assisted on Hounds and Working dogs when I traveled with the handler. I also enjoyed showing my Yorkies in obedience. While in high school, my obedience dog and my show dog both passed and it stopped my passion in the dog fancy. I did not even consider another pet until 12 years later. The girl’s gym teacher brought a box of kittens to school, and Miss Frank soon had a new companion. Three years later, I went to watch a cat show and was fascinated by the cat fancy. Time had healed my heart and sparked my interests in pedigreed show cats. In 1979, I registered my cattery with Cat Fanciers Association. Briarson is a combination of my first four letters and my last four letters. I was fascinated by so many breeds of cats. I believe in emersion of learning, so I set a lifetime goal of owning, breeding, raising, exhibiting, and enjoying every registered breed of CFA cat. At this time, I am a permanent breed council member of 17 breeds of cat; American Shorthairs, American Wirehairs, Bombay, Burmese, Balinese, Burmese, Cornish Rex, Devon Rex, Exotic Shorthairs, Maine Coon Cats, Oriental Shorthairs and Longhairs, Persians, Russian Blues, Scottish Folds, Siamese, Sphynx, and Turkish Angoras. I have bred two litters of Abyssinians and two litters of Tonkinese. I hope to join those breed councils next year. I have had 30 regional wins in several US regions, regional and national color wins, and breed wins. I have been blessed with three National Winners. My highest achievement was GRC/GRP Briarson Babette, a brown patched tabby female American Shorthair, that was CFA alter of the year in 1987. I became a CFA judge in 1990. Last year, I received my 25 year judging award. It has changed my life, and been a thrill, and an honor.
