2010 NEWS / SHOWS / RESULTS

 

We have had another fantastic year at the Lyndongraey cattery with the following achievements :

~~~

Magic had her second litter and her son Lyndongraey Kentucky is doing extremely well at shows. He is owned and shown beautifully by Heather Clayson, he has had 9 1st places, 1 Best in Variety, 1 Best of Breed and Best In Show Kitten. We hope for great things in the new year.

~~~

Bailey was shown at the beginning of the year and achieved three new titles, he is now known as GCCF Champion & Fife Champion and Premier Lyndongraey The Survivor, before he was retired from the show ring as he wasn't enjoying himself at shows any more.

I would like to say a big thank you to all the judges who thought so highly of all my cats

~~~

We also had very sad news this year as we have been told of three of our Maine Coons babies who lived with their new families are all now at Rainbow Bridge

BOB CAT SOCIETY - BRACKNELL 18 SEPTEMBER 2010 (GCCF SHOW)

TUCKY
1st Open
Judge : Mr. S. Crow
A C Silver Tabby Maine Coon Kitten, Male: One boy entered. 1. CLAYSON’S LYNDONGRAEY KENTUCKY. Black Classic Silver Tabby. 29/3/10. Handsome young man of very pleasing type. Long rectangular body is of good size for five and a half months and very good weight, feeling firm and well muscled with sturdy underlying boning, square rump and well shaped legs ending in large rounded paws in proportion with slight snowshoes. Head is slightly longer than wide with quite good width to high cheeks, but yet to fill out, and good breadth to square muzzle which feels fairly strong. Medium large broad based ears are of good shape with pointed tips, held slightly high and with good space between, good inner furnishing and lynx-tips. Large expressive rich amber yellow eyes are full and round, set wide apart and slightly obliquely. Gentle concave curve in profile line to nose is just deep enough, chin is level and of quite good depth, feeling fairly firm. Good coat length for age but still lengthening, especially down sides, texture is slightly soft and “kittenish” at present and top coat does not yet flow and is a little open and fluffy, but in super condition and very well prepared, small ruff evident and slight breeches, tail is well furnished but lacking length to hairs and not profuse as yet. Black Classic pattern contrasts against a clear silver ground, pattern is a little vague along sides and rather solid on the lower back with no dorsal stripes visible, however, distinct “butterfly” motif across shoulder and slightly blurred oysters on flanks; barring on legs and well defined facial markings with clear “M” and scarab of forehead, tarnishing on muzzle around nose leather. Tail is of good shape tapering to rounded tip which has a very small end “pip” discernable, length reaches to shoulders to balance. Relaxed, friendly boy who showed himself well.
