Judges Critique of Elyria (Schimmel Black Ice)
Linda Walpole - Oriental Black Adult
"Pretty little female, just old enough but of good size. Wedge head with tiny pinch, straight profile flattening at the top and firm chin. Eyes of bright, though rather pale green, full in shape and this did cause me to hesitate, but they improved when she was relaxed in her pen so I gave her the benefit of the doubt today. Well set learge ears. Long fine body, legs & whip tail to balance. Close fine textured short coat of shiny black, not a white hair in sight and a finish like patent leather! Sweet young, lady, I hope she learns to relax!"

Dr Bruce Bennett - AC Oriental Non-Breeders Adult
"Lady who is just adult & is a little timorous. She has a short little wedge with a small pinch, ears of fairly good size, quite well set upon it. Eyes a tad open with anxiety, pupiles green rimmed, iris pale elsewhere. Very good straight profile, chin slopes back gently, bite level. Body & limbs consistent with adolescent age, tapered tail needs a little legnth. Excellent coat for length & texture, smooth & gleaming, sound black throughout."
