Saturday saw me at my first show of the year, judging the Yorkshire Rat Club‘s January show. There were about seventy entries, and some lovely rats there but the final decisions were easy – a quality rat always shines through. There were lots of marked compared to what I’m used to seeing up in the North and in Scotland, and some really nice examples. I also got to judge my first downunder – a very cute black downunder hooded dumbo boy.
And of course I didn’t come back empty handed. The wonderful Lisa of Blairwitch Stud dropped off my two new arrivals from Rivendell – a very sweet ivory doe, and something a little bit more unusual …
Please meet Rivendell All That Glitters, who is probably best described as a golden silver agouti. I’m still trying to decide who will be best to mate her to when she’s of age, but I’m sure whoever it is we will have some beautiful kittens from her.
