Merrydancer Show results - Ocicats I am very proud that there are quite a few Merrydancer cats doing well in shows, not just in this country but abroad as well, so it was time to make a page for show results:-) I must stress though, that producing good show cats is not our paramount aim - health and temperament are most important to us. I'm not including all the side classes details - but there are plenty of firsts among them:-) We've been lucky to have quite a few cats we've bred on the show bench, such as Merrydancer Jive, Merrydancer Bellaboogie, Merrydancer Mazurka, Merrydancer Ayita, Merrydancer Macarena, Merrydancer Jodie's Waltz etc. Most of these are girls who are now having kittens of their own. They have all been winners of their classes. But there are plenty of Merrydancer cats who aren't home having babies:-))) See below!:-)))) Scroll down to the bottom for the latest show. I'm starting this page from the date of the Supreme, 2005, purely because Troika was awarded Best of Variety there:-)
Merrydancer Troika - The first Ocicat to go forward to compete for best in show at the Supreme after being chosen as best of all Foreign Neuters. Troika is now Grand Premier Merrydancer Troika!
The Supreme Show 2005:- Merrydancer Troika, awarded a First in the Grand Class, his second Grand Certificate and Best of Breed in the Ocicat Neuter class, and BEST OF VARIETY. This meant he was the first Ocicat to ever compete for Best in Show at the Supreme - quite an experience! Also, Merrydancer Cara, owned by Lynne Gower, First and Best of Breed in the Adult Ocicat class. The Shropshire Cat Club show:- Merrydancer Troika, Best of Breed, Reserve Grand, and BEST IN SHOW NEUTER.
