A special "Thank you" goes out to Specialty Judge Mike Carbeno from Canada for awarding Guinness his 6th final to earn ACFA GRAND CHAMPION!
*****WAY TO GO, GUINNESS*****
ACFA GRAND CHAMPION
I am so PROUD of this handsome Highlander!
Guinness earned Grand Champion in the minimum amount of show rings!!! To earn Grand Champion, the cat must compete in at least 16 show rings AND make the Top 10 finals with 6 different judges. Guinness has completed 16 rings in 2 shows and received 6 finals today, including Best Champion Short Hair Adult Cat in the specialty ring!! Thank you to Judge Murlene for giving the brief explanationof the Highlander Breed for the spectators. And a special Thank you to Specialty Judge Mike Carbeno, for awarding Guinness his 6th final for Grand Champion!!And Thank you to all the judges for awarding Guinness today!!
I am so proud of Guinness! This is his first ACFA cat show. He competed against some very impressive cats in Adult Class. Guinness is only 9 months old and is maturing nicely!!
Guinness earned his ACFA title of Double Champion! I am so fortunate to be able to show him for a few months as he earns ACFA titles.
He will be joining Widdershinsllc Highlander Cats in Maine as a future King in a few months.
He sure Loves playing with the judges and interacting with the spectators. 😻
Judge Vicky Merrill was very impressed with all the Highlanders at the ACFA cat show this weekend. We haven't seen Judge Merrill very often so it's wonderful to get such great compliments about all the Highlanders at the show.
She awarded Guinness his first "Best Of Breed Highlander shorthair" and Osiris "B.O.B Highlander longhair." As well as placing Osiris in the top 10 All Breed finals. Her comment about Osiris was
"This handsome boy has wonderful head shape, body structure, eye shape, beautiful placement and curve to the ears, nice tail...In my opinion, this guy is a wonderful example of the Highlander according to the breed standard."
Thank you Judge Merrill! 😻
Rhone is maturing into a big handsome Highlander!
My beautiful Highlanders, Rhone and Brighu, competed against each other at the TICA cat show in Schaumburg Illinois today. The judges had great things to say about both cats! But, Rhone got Best of Breed ANB in all 6 rings. I didn't get any good pics of Brighu and only a couple quick pics and video of Rhone. The judges and I were so busy talking about how well the Highlander breed is doing that I didn't even think of getting pictures. Lol 😹 😻 I can't wait to show Rhone in Championship Adult class in the spring!
Magic got alittle squirmy after this final.
But, for most of the show, Jaycie did a great job taking her up to and back from the show rings. Jaycie might be ready to join the ACFA Junior Exhibitors!
Jaycie practicing for Junior Exhibitor. Of course, Osiris is the perfect cat for her to handle!
So much fun with my beautiful Rainbow Magic Pot Of Gold!
Judge Adrianna was as impressed with Guinness as she was with his sister, Rainbow Magic.
So hard to believe this fun-tastic guy is still available! Jameson is a nonstandard Highlander (due to long tail) but his personality is ALL HIGHLANDER! This big boy is still a kitten! He has alot more growing to do. Both of his parents are ACFA Double Champions!
Reduced adoption fee. Send message for more info.
Jameson is available. He is a big, handsome, shorthair, nonstandard (long tail) Highlander kitten. He is fantastic with kids! Very low adoption fee. Fully vetted! TICA registered! Jameson would do fantastic in Household Pet class.
Jameson is still available!! This guy is such a character. He is a fun loving clown, great with kids, and absolutely loves affection! He is a 6 month old Highlander kitten, nonstandard bcuz he has a long tail. But his personality is all Highlander!! He will do best with a buddy to play with. Do you have a cat or small dog that needs a playful buddy? Jameson would be a great fit!
