More Details of some of the 2006 Winners

photo by Marc Henrie | The Best of Variety Foreign Adult, Supreme Adult & Supreme Exhibit was Supreme UK & Imperial Grand Champion Grizabella Ohbladi Ohblada, a Black Smoke Devon Rex Femaleowned by Mr & Mrs J A Boucher and bred by Mrs I Challis
Born in February 2003, `Molly' lives, mostly peacefully, with six other Devons, She is very much alpha female and keeps the others in their places, with the exception of Heather's Black & White girl Tilly. They have the occasional face off regarding pole position. Molly has had three litters of kittens and hopefully will have a fourth sometime in Summer 2007
She has always loved going to shows and seems to know the big occasion, performing beautifully for the audience. She gives judges the look which says `I know I'm the best, so I dare you to disagree with me.' - It has certainly paid off!

The Best of Variety Burmese Neuter & Supreme Neuter was Supreme UK & Imperial Grand Premier Chiaro Cioccolata a Chocolate Burmese Female Neuter owned and bred by Penny Akehurst
Affectionately Known as "The Tup" (no idea why, but it suited her), she started her winning as a kitten but at 10 months was diagnosed with PKD, one of the first Burmese in the UK to be diagnosed. She won her first CC at a year old, but was then neutered. Once she came back out on the show bench as a neuter, she has hardly looked back, rarely being beaten for Best of Breed and winning all her attempts at the Grand Premier, (except when she was beaten by her Grannie) and all but two of her nine attempts at Imperial. She has never had a Reserve Imperial, it was always all or nothing! |  |

She likes to make up to judges and is fully aware of what is expected of her-a true show off, she certainly knows how beautiful she is!! |
