Breeders have told me over and over again Veeshan is pet quality. There seems to be much disagreement between breeders about Kingston. But 2 breeders (pm me if want names) who I feel are more knowledgeable about the breed feel Veeshan is better quality but still pet. Only 2 breeders feel he is show quality and 1 of them is his own breeder.
I understand why Veeshan is pet quality. She is close to granding but do you have any idea how many shows she has been to? She has been to 13 shows as a Premier. This is not show quality. I good show quality cat should grand within 4 shows I have been told. I would quit showing her but I just can't. She is my first Somali and I have worked very hard to get the points she has. Any show now she could Grand.
I also wonder sometimes if maybe I just live in the area where the majority of the top Somali breeders are. And their standards are a lot higher than lets say the west coast. But I can't afford to fly to shows to see if this is true. But still 13 shows is a little ridiculous don't you think?
