CFA NATIONAL SHOW 2012



The CFA/Royal Canin World Championship show will take place on November 17-18, 2012 in Columbus, Ohio. The CFA Blog was established to provide exhibitors with complete information about the show.

Dr. Elsey's have pledged a donation of $440 to each breed council attending with a breed booth. The Siamese allotment will go towards the creation of a second smaller Siamese breed booth that will be available for display at shows. We currently have the large breed booth and a smaller, more portable, version. Moving the booth(s) around to different shows has been challenging so it will be helpful to have a backup.

With the addition of a second 500 count show, we hope to see a good Siamese turnout this year. An informal Siamese Breed Council meeting is planned.


2012 BREED COUNCIL BALLOT ITEMS

  • It is an election year. Virginia Wheeldon has declared to run for breed council secretary for another term.

  • The previously discussed proposal to change the Rules of Registration to remove the ability to record cats imported as Siamese will not be on this year's ballot. Recording is a way to import cats when the owner cannot obtain a pedigree with the necessary number of generations. As the rules stand, you can import a cat with a seven generation certified Siamese pedigree and it will be "recorded" by CFA. A recorded cat can be used for breeding but is not eligible for competition. The offspring of a recorded cat (if bred to a Siamese) can be registered/shown as Siamese as they would have the required eight generations in their pedigree.

    This can be revisited next year if members feels strongly about it but I don't feel that at this time there is a threat to our breed from an influx of recorded cats.

  • At the February 2012 meeting, the CFA board directed the chairs of Breeds and Standards and the Colorpoint, Oriental, Balinese-Javanese and Siamese breed council secretaries to work together on a compromise for the pointed Oriental issue. The Siamese breed council is being polled as an affected breed. The proposed compromise will appear on all four ballots.

    In short ... a pointed class will be created within the Oriental breed. The four Siamese colors and the smoke versions of those colors in all coat lengths will be excluded from this Oriental class. A Disqualify will be added to the Oriental standard for the Siamese colors and their smoke versions. The current breeding restrictions that bar the registration of offspring from pointed-to-pointed Orientals shorthair breedings will remain in place. Additional breeding restrictions will be added for pointed Oriental longhairs. The show rules will be changed to remove the pointed Orientals from the Colorpoint Shorthair color classes and to remove the special division breed awards for pointed Oriental shorthairs (i.e. the BW award for pointed Orientals will end, however cats that have already achieved those titles will keep them).

    The the ballot states that all of the items must pass all of the polled breed councils and the board should not implement it piecemeal. It is the expectation that the Board will honor this compromise should it pass and not change it without the approval of the breed councils.

    By by definition a compromise is a deal between different parties where each party gives up part of their demands in order to reach an agreement. Not everyone will find the terms of this compromise to be ideal. The Siamese do stand to gain protection against the addition of Siamese colors to Oriental classes through the Disqualify clause added to the Oriental standard.
