I want a show kitten... but what breed should I get??

Ok, Ginger wrote me back - here is what she said:
the colors would potentially be solid blue, cream tabby, blue-cream(females)...

"Blues are the most common but we are doing well with our cream tabbies also. They also are quite stunning with the giant copper eyes."

What do you guys think??
As far as gender she recommends males, as they are bigger and seem to do better in premiership.

Unfortunately in the USA the Brits are not accepted in the color points, chocolate or lilac colors yet. But I hope they would some day. I've see the ones from Cuddleton and other Aussie/NZ breeders in those colors and think they are very cool.

My options would be a cream spotted tabby, or solid blues, as far as males goes. If I want a female, I can have a blue cream also...

Here is one of her cream tabbies: scroll down to #3

She said that both colors do really well, and she would be more concerned about the confirmation of the kitty, and she will do her best to give me a top show kitten... I decided to leave the color open then, so she can choose the best one to show - they are so beautiful anyways!

Oh, thanks for that

If you are not fussed on colour/sex, then do just wait and let the breeder pick. Creams are also nice

That's what we spoke about it... she will pick one for me - Her kitties are so amazingly beautiful, and she has so much experience, I will be better off on her hands anyways - She has over 25 years of experience breeding them - she will know better for sure!!
This is going to be so much fun!

When you mentioned Exotic, I was thinking of a totally different thing of course Your kittens are soooo cute

Kuura meows thank you.

I was also going to ask what color you are getting. I can definitely recommend the silvers (Kuura is black silver shaded).
Usually blue Brits have the best coat texture, but the other colors are catching up pretty well! Sometimes silvers have a bit longer coat, but luckily Kuura has very good, short and soft fur. Males have usually the ideal look, so I would choose a male if I would be looking for a show BSH. It seems that also wider noses are preferred at shows (Kuura doesn't have one but my lilacpoint and longhair males do have).

LOL! Of course those Exotics are great too!!!

I'm so glad you chose the BSH. I like Blues and whites the best. I don't like the creams as much in the Britties as they tend to quite dark and "brown paper baggish"

What in the heck is a "brown paper baggish" when describing a cat?????

I am going to be Carolinas Mentor.
She will come to a CFA show here to pick the kitten up from the breeder.
I am sure I will see the breeder at some shows before that.
She lives in Idaho.

I still love them

I see both Sam and Amanda are laughing about "brown paper baggish"
Must be a Kiwi-Oz inside joke.

C'mon let us mushrooms (in the dark) in on the joke.

Nial, keep in mind that those guys are in WINTER now - so maybe its "brain freeze"?????

Well then it has to be a Ausssie/Kiwi paper bag, cause our paper bags in the USA are dark brown and I would never call a cream tabby Brit the color of a paper bag.

I am thinking that also.
Lets see what they reply with.

Maybe they are still laughing at us too much to type.....
