Yes, he has a beautifully shaped head! Virginia, I would like to show him, but I need a great deal more information before I commit to that. Trouble is breeders speak a different language! I need to understand how many points it takes to champion him in the Premier class? And, how many points is it possible to get at each show? I would not sign up for something I and Santino are likely to not be able to finish. P.S. He likes "flying", but not strangers. He is social only with people he knows.
Hi Chaska - as a Premier it only takes 75 points to get him Granded - if he is okay at the shows it probably wouldn't take long since he is a beautiful cat! But try him at the Austin show and see how he does. He is not a shy cat so he may surprise you!
It is hard to say how many points he might get - it all depends on if he makes the finals. I never go into a show with high expectations - mostly I want others to see what a Balinese is since they are so rare! So it's more about publicity for this breed than about having the best cats.
Thank you for the information! However, I am not so altruistic that I would give up two long days of my life only so people could see a Balinese....Just being honest here. I would want that ribbon for him!!!:-)
Looks like wishful thinking to me ... the window has a screen on it, right?
