Korats in Norway

GIC. JONA'S CRISTAL LIN
a beautiful Norwegian Korat

 After the Korat was awarded Champion status in 1983, the breed has had good progress in the judging rings and panels in Norway.

In September 1987, we got our first Europa Premier, Pimai Gamanit. In March 1988, Pimai Eega was the first Europa Champion. Both cats were GIP and GIC in 1986.

Those who were in the cat fancy then, will remember how difficult it was to get Grand-certificates. When the Europa-title came the rules were simplified. The Grand-certificates were easier to get.

Since then 20 Korats have become Europa Champion and 11 are Europa Premier. 8 Korats are Best of Best, "Doklao Nai Ban" was the first in 1989. 61 Korats have become Best in Show Shorthair. 16 have been Best Opposite Sex Shorthair and 4 times Korat litters have been Best Litter Shorthair. There have been 229 nominations for Korats.

In 1992 and 1993 the Best Breeding Male Shorthair and Best Breeding Female Shorthair in Norway were Korats? In 1995 Best Breeding Female Shorthair in Norway was also a Korat.
