This will be Charlie's first show to actually earn some points towards his Grand Championship (altered), so could use some TCS vibes for a final or two
Sending you and Charlie lots of vibes. He has really grown into a handsome Ocicat and hopefully the judges will see that as well. I hope the show will go well for both of you and please post your photos if you take any. It's a lot of fun seeing cat show photos
That would be nice, but his brothers/nephew are better. No point count yet but I'll check the Region page and see if they have the point count posted. The official closing date was yesterday - so point count may not be there till Wed/Thurs.
The other Elkhorn show (in May) was a smaller show. MoKan had the biggest count so far, so I'm hoping those people go somewhere else other then Elkhorn! I think its only a 200 max anyway for the one day. I think he's only been seen by one of the judges (they had another 2 sub judges now), so we will see what happens.
I'm iffy on the "big/little" count - yes its nice when you have the larger count, but harder to pick out the Best/2nd B Premiers from the group. I want a medium competition - have to see how he really goes with the judges - up till now its only kitten and open, we will see
Personally I'm a lot more comfortable with ACFA finals/judges as I know them a lot better - he's already got 1/2 the finals he needs cause they count from Open up. And he only needs 2 in top 5 AB - ACFA shows will be in October and December and he should do well there (6 total finals).
Never seen or heard of Norma P, Mary Auth prefers good Persians/Exos over good SH, B pearson may just change his mind over Charlie, Patton and Wood, hmmmm, and from what I hear Janzen will put a great SH over LH.
First two I don't know at all (a lot of CFA judges that I don't know cause I've been not showing CFA for years). Good to know about the last.
It was either Paul or Brian that made a comment at the May show to Nancy that he liked Charlie but wanted to see more muscle on him - don't remember which one it was at the show, but might be a good sign this time
