23.7.2016 Supreme Champion Gayaneh Gratia Illa ”that joy” aka Prim graduated in Helsinki! Prim, the super sweet lady, is one of our most awarded ragdolls with over 10 nominations and many votes in panels (but never enough…) However, Prim’s final steps in her career in the new I category turned out to be a challenge: one of the last CACS certificates, the one ”from abroad” was being searched from Scandinavian Winner Show in Helsinki, but no: Michael Edström from Sweden concluded: ”Very sorry but I can’t give the certificate in this high class because of the head which needs more height and muzzle should be more rounded.” The traditional ragdoll type represented by Prim is not so much appreciated by Swedish and Norwegian judges. Thus, Prim had to travel to Tallinn, where Anne Veland (from Middle Europe) without any hesitation gave CACS, saying Prim’s head is ”Ex broad with fine wedge and profile.” Then again a Swedish judge 23.7. in Helsinki, where Prim was seeking for the very last CACS…! Nevertheless, Malin Sudnqvist gave the certificate despite of ”…profile a bit straight. Muzzle a bit narrow.” but overall ”Sweet girl with a stunning body!” Prim is our beloved prima donna, a big girl with such a wonderful temperament ♥
