Semi long coat of very nice texture the patches of colour are pastel cream and 6 blue with a hint of tabby coming through with sparkling white, really nice unstructured curls to the body there is a ruff framing her head and the tail is well plumed with plenty of waving, beautifully groomed and handled really well, lovely female.

1ST, BOB – AMARILLI’S BURLEAWAY BONFIRE HEART (BSH ny 12) 17/08/24 A neat kitten of under four months of age…..just! She has good breadth to her head with cheeks developing. Ears are a fraction open at the bases but are well set with good width between. Large fairly round eyes with a sweet expression – they are still settling in colour to bring out the green and they are lined with dark brown. Short broad nose with good profile and brick nose leather. Level bite of baby teeth. Chin firm. She has a well grown body of proportionate weight and balance standing on short legs developing good bone, and firm rounded paws. Medium length tail with rounded tip. Her coat is still a bit kitten-soft but it is short and dense. The base colour is still quite a pale golden apricot colour at this stage, sound to the roots, and the dark brown tipping is still developing in intensity of colour – it is evenly distributed. There is evidence of it on her head, ears, back and flanks and on her tail where there are a few ghost rings. A very attractive kitten with a good show temperament. Judge C White

SELKIRK REX KITTEN MALE class 303a 1ST TO – AMARILLIS AMAZOLOU SNICKER DOODLE (SRS ns 11) M (21.08.2024) Deal little Black Silver Shaded short hair chap of just fourteen weeks with a lovely calm and gentle nature so nice to handle as he just wanted a cuddle. Promising overall though his ears are a little high on his head at the moment his skull looks longer than rounded which is quite deceiving as in profile the nose is short and quite broad and his muzzle has some width with a firm chin and the beginnings of cheeks to give his head the balance required, curly broken whiskers to his whisker pads, lovely wide awake eyes of clear light green set well apart in a good setting. Body is very typical for his tender age and just needs a little time to develop medium length legs and neatly rounded paws, good tail length. Extremely well rexed coat on this little one, short and very well curled throughout in an even manner right down to his well curled tail, very well presented.

SELKIRK REX KITTEN MALE 1 ST AMARILLI’S AMAZOLOU SNICKER DOODLE [SRS ns11] M 21/08/24

JUDGE MRS P BEARD SMITH 3 My take home cat of the day. What a little poppet. His head is a little angular and his ears a little tall for balance. Large round owl like eyes. Face on his muzzle looks narrow but when viewed from above shows a rectangular shape clearly viewed beyond his cheeks with well padded whisker pads. Level bite good chin. His body is fairly well boned and he stands on short legs and firm paws. His coat is to die for. Even though he is a shorthair he has a good length to his coat. It is soft and plush and it is full of tight curls from tip to toe. I loved him and would loved to have taken him with me when I left. .

1 & BOB Amarilli’s Burleaway Bonfire Heart, Golden Tipped female. (BSH ny 12). 17.08.2024. Just old enough to enter the show, this young lady just took my breath away. Really lovely round head, and exquisite British SH type. Already a broad, rounded top of head, showing good breadth of skull. Already having small ears set wide apart. Ears show rounded tips and fit so nicely into the rounded contour of the head. Nicely rounded forehead. Eyes round, showing the green colour in the centres, and hopefully this will spread with development. Eyes have black rims. Nose short, broad, and straight. Nose has uniform width. Chubby round cheeks. A straight level bite, and firm chin. Such a very pretty face and lovely expression. Nice boning. Straight level back, and nice depth of chest. At the moment she has a pale apricot ground colour, which should deepen with growth and development. Clear black tipping showing and covering the required areas. Tipping clear and fairly uniform throughout. Chin, chest, tummy and underside of tail all free of any tipping. Tipping does go down the legs which then decreases towards her paws. Bright, alert, and full of great confidence, she took to judging and handling like a veteran. I awarded her my “Judges Choice” bag of goodies, which when placed in the pen, she chose to ignore. Groomed to the last hair, and full of great promise.

1st Non-Breeders Kitten

Amarilli’s Sewnsew A Stitch In Time, female. (BSH a). 29.06.2023. An older kitten at 7 months of age. Head not quite as balanced as I would like. It is round, and shows actually good breadth of skull. Ears medium in size, but show rounded tips. Ears quite well-placed. Forehead shows a very heavy brow, thus making the eyes quite deep-set. It does not help to have the round eyes small in shape. Eye colour a pleasing rich orange colour. Nose short, and broad, and straight. The nose shows a uniform width. Fairly full cheeks. The bite is level, and the chin is fine. Short thick neck here. Large cobby body. Very heavy boning. The back is straight. Legs thick, and paws round and firm. Full medium blue coat. The density and fullness is coming in nicely, but s5ll has a way to go. Tail full, and to balance, and does show a nice rounded tip. She handled very well, and was beautifully presented.
