Hello! I'm a registered breeder for Selkirks and BLHs, but have never joined a show with them before (for some reason, my queens are always about to give birth right around the times there is a show near me, so I've not gotten around to showing. In the past I showed my (pet) BSH in the premiership altered class a few times, but I found that judges are generally more lenient with altered cats and don't penalize as harshly (because they say the faults are exactly why the cats are neutered.)
I just wanted to know if there are any preferences in judging for Selkirk Rex and BLH, like does one club value the curls more than another, or the profile, or certain colours etc, speaking from your show experience?
Side related question: do judges generally prefer traditional colours over the newer/complex colours when awarding top ribbons?
I've read up on the breed standards for all the main clubs, but wanted to ask those who actively show these breeds regularly your thoughts and opinions
Thank you!
