Micro Girl 8 Months Old

Micro Girl makes to 8 months old.  She was born premature with a size smaller than my pinkie finger.  It was touch and go in the first few months.  It’s a miracle that she not only survived but thriving. At 8 months old, she is over 6 pounds, a normal weight for a young senior.  

 

Raecelia is Growing Up

Raecelia is the only girl in a group of boys, boys, and boys. 

Though they are the same age, somehow Raecelia looks smaller and younger than the boys.

She just made senior, but still looks a bit junior-ish.

Slow growing could be a blessing: slow to mature usually means slow to go out of coat.

Raecelis hopes to follow her mother Raelynne, her older sisters Raeberta and Raeanna's footsteps to be a multi Best In Show winner.   Just need more growing, .....

 

Melissa and Lena Have Fun at Petaluma

When we see Melissa at shows, she's usually judging and awarding Best In Show or Reserve In Show to the top winners that she picked.   At the CRCS show at Petaluma, she was an exhibitor!  And her Himalayan receives the Reserve In Show honor.

A very happy group: Judge Ray Stacy, Best In Show Fremch Angora shown by Carol Green, and Reserve In Show Himalayan shown by Melissa and Lena Magee.

Indiana State Fair is one of the largest fairs in the Midwest and the country.  Carol was invited to judge at the 2025 Indiana State Fair last year and Melissa judged the 2026 Indiana State Fair.    There is an interesting coincidence or maybe not a coincidence: they used the same judging table.    Carol and Melissa are about the same size, much shorter than most of the male judges and even some of the woman judges.  The judging table for both needs to be somewhat lower than the regular height.   When Melissa arrived at the Indiana State Fair, she was told that the particular table was reserved for "the short California judges".   Here we have the two "short California judges"!!!

This post concludes the photos and reports of the CRCS all breed shows at Petaluma on August 22, 2026.

Show C English Angora Judging at Petaluma

Judge Stephany trying to decide which of the English Angora white senior buck should take first and which the second.

The two brothers are very close, can go either way.

Judge Stephany makes the decision.  The winner of the class advances to the BOSB.  Interesting enough that in three shows, three different bucks received the BOSB honor.  The three bucks are just very close to each other.

And the BOV white is the white senior doe.

Here is the winner of the English Angora colored senior buck class.

The colored senior buck class winner is the BOSV, winning over the colored junior bucks but lose to the white senior buck for BOSB.

The colored senior doe is the most impressive one.

The English Angora BOB is the colored senior doe.
