I honestly didn't expect much to happen at National Capital this weekend. With 223 kittens entered and a number of future national winners in attendace, I was content to spend my weekend socializing with the Mau and Van people.
Boy was I in for a surprise!
First, all three of the TUV imports made a final
Fistik (brown patched tabby TUV) took 15th best kitten in a LH SP ring.
Minnosh (tortie TUV who was there for only one ring) got her first granding points by taking 3rd best LH Champion.
I wasn't going to try to grand her, but she's developed so nicely that I'll get her to shows in between her litters.
Finally, Afacan (red tabby and white male TUV) had me holding back tears when he took 3rd best kitten in a LH SP ring. He's on pace to be the first ever TUV import to grand (with Fistik the 2nd and Minnosh the 3rd) and maybe, just maybe, prove that he can do even more than that.
Then we had some icing on the cake when Otto made a final as well
