newbie a bit confused
Hi everyone im new here. Ive just got my first persian chinchilla kitten and would like to show her. The breeder has assured me that she is of show quality. There isnt many shows in my area can i take her to a show from a cat club that is nothing to do with a chinchilla like a short haird or a siamese club show or does it have to be a chinchilla cat club show? Also what classes am are to put her in ? She will hopefully still be a kitten if i can find a show soon enough. Sorry for all the questions im just really confused. i hope one of you can help me.
Thankyou

Re: newbie a bit confused
Is she registered with the GCCF?
You can show her at any All Breed Show run by area Cat Clubs, or her breed/breed type specific clubs. Under the GCCF you have the open class, which will be in the Persian Section called "Chinchilla Kitten". In that class she will be judged against all the other female chinchilla kittens present. The entry fee for the show usually includes the cost of your open class, and 3 other miscellaneous classes. There are sets of miscellaneous classes for each section and in those classes they compete against any other kitten in the section male female, different colours etc that fullfil the criteria for the class. These classes and criteria differ very slightly per show, but the definition for each class is always explained in the schedule. For example : Persian Self Breeders Kitten for any colour self coloured persian kittens bred by the exhibitor A.C. Persian Non-Self Breeders Kitten for any colour non self coloured persian kittens bred by the exhibitor A.C. Persian Kitten not bred by Exhibitor for any colour persian kitten not bred by the Exhibitor A.C. Persian Kitten - as it says A.C. Persian Debutante Kitten for any colour Persian kitten that hasnever been shown at a show held under GCCF Rules A.C. Persian Novice Kitten - Any colour Persian kitten that has not won a First Prize in any class at a show held under GCCF Rules A.C. Persian Maiden Kitten - Any colour Persian kitten that has not won a First, Second or Third Prize in any class at a show held under GCCF Rules A.C. Persian Limit Kitten - Any colour Persian kitten that have not won more than four First Prizes in any class at a show held under GCCF Rules A.C. Persian Radius (within 25 miles) Kitten - Any colour Persian kitten living within 25 miles of the show hall A.C. Persian Visitors (more than 25 miles) Kitten - Any colour Persian kitten living more than 25 miles from the show hall. You would then chose 3 or more of those (any number over the 3 you pay for as additional classes). If you choose classes judged by different judges then you get to know what different judges think of your kitten, which is handy for future shows. You can also enter shows run by different registries like TICA or Felis Britannica. If she is TICA registered or FIFE registered then you can not show under the GCCF. I hope that hasn't confused you more.

Re: newbie a bit confused
Yes, thats right. There are specialist shows you can enter as well, like one specifically for long or semi long hairs etc.
Showing is a lovely hobby. You will need to get all the white show equipment- blankets, litter tray, food and water bowls. They do packs on ebay, and they are not that expensive. I show shorthairs so I have no idea how to prep a long hair, but I am sure either her breeder or other persian or chinny breeders on here will be able to help you with that. The best thing is to visit a show first, and have a chat to the people there. Most people are really friendly and will help out someone showing for the first time. Good luck, I am sure she is worth the wait and you will have loads of fun with her.

Re: newbie a bit confused
Hi Becky,
I am sure you will find plenty of help at the shows. You could mention to the show manager first time you show that you need a show buddy.They maybe able to arrange someone to get you through the show day. Visiting a show first is a good idea. Maybe your breeder could help you,Im sure if they have sold you a show quality kitten they will want to help you as much as possible. Best of luck,welcome to the forum, have you got any pics of your baby, Im sure we would all like to see her! Izzie

Re: newbie a bit confused
If you are not in touch with the breeder then contact your breed club to see if anyone from there is going to a show and who would be willing to help you on coat preparation etc.
