We will be supporting the new Independent organisation Everycat UK and TICA. Folds and other rare breeds will be afforded Championship status and not forced into anonimity as per the rulings of FIFe in Europe. Breeders were shocked at the speed with which this decision was made !! Our American friends were amazed too.

Shadow is growing well and full of mischief. She has behaved herself on her two show outings and received very favourable critiques.

Just at the start of the Best in Show, April'03 at Mackworth College,Derby. We were delighted that our Blue bi-colour Fold 'Ammelear', became Best New Variety kitten for her proud owner Maureen Roddick.

Here we see my lovely female kitten SmokeGetzin Your Ears who made the Finals of two TICA All-breeds rings at their first UK show.
   
Pendlemist Milky Way who is possibly the first Chocolate Bi-colour to be shown in Europe became 6th Best kitten from over 40 (3-6 months) at a show in Arras, Belgium, 2003 - both Judges and exhibitors loved her colour. Well done Isabelle !
   
Bramble, from my pure black female Beanie, showing excellent show type at just five weeks. I had three kittens in this litter, and all were very typy tight Folds. Bramble now lives in Tennessee, USA with the Moore family.
   
The table workers at any show are the link between success and failure in most exhibitors eyes. Caroline Turner-Russell (left) and myself.
   
Pendlemist Ammelear.
     
My really super black female Marsear Midnight who was the runner-up best 4-6 months kitten at the Burmilla show and then made three Finals rings at the TICA show and drew so much attention from the other exhibitors.
     
A pretty blue and white bi-colour female who was on exhibition at the Burmilla show, but who received favourable comments from the International judges. My kittens were voted Most Popular Exhibits by the votes of the general public.
   
Probably the rarest cats to be presented at any recent cat show. The standard of points and breeding programme have been accepted for the Ukrainian Levkoy( proud breeder above, showing a male and female for Assessment). They created great interest on both days in Kiev. Origins are based on the Sphynx,Scottish Fold and Oriental cats.
   
On the 24th/25th October 2005 I was delighted to be juding for the Rolandus-Union International Cat Organisation in Kiev,Ukraine. Myself and three other Judges enjoyed wonderful hospitality over the weekend in a CFA ring-style show with many many visitors. This wonderful young Scottish Fold male was my second Best Adult.
 
Peter Paul Moormann, a Judge colleague for many years from the Netherlands, and Director of Science for Rolandus-Union, with a magnificent young Brown Classic Tabby Exotic ‘Garden Paradise Hunter’ who we both, together with fellow Judge Elena Dubrovskaya from Russia, made our total Best Adult cat.
     
No !! not your usual Sphynx with origins in Canada. This chamois coated male is a Don Sphynx which is very different in type to the ones we see in most British & European shows. He could almost be heard to say ‘For goodness sake hurry up’ as he waited to be judged, with his elegant owner standing guard.
   
Paperwork seems to be one thing that shows have plenty off no matter where they are held. Here we have our fantastic show managers Olga Rakitnyh and Andrew Ustinov deep in conversation before the commencement of Judging on Saturday. Both are senior All Breed Judges in the Ukraine.
