Chinchilla Silver Female
In the 2001-2002 show season, CFA began awarding a new title – Breed Winner, which is abbreviated as BW. This title is quite exclusive, being given to ONLY ONE cat in each breed or division in a given year – the highest scoring cat for that breed or division in the Championship class.
Although the award began in that season, CFA is retroactively adding the title to Breed Winners of previous years.
In the 2016-17 show season, the award areas were expanded, to provide 3 sets of awards – BWR (for all cats competing in regions 1-9), BWC (for cats competing in China), and BWI (for cats competing in all other International areas).
In this article, Best of Breed was researched back to the 1966-67 show season where the best of breed cats were first listed in the CFA yearbooks.
Although CFA may not have yet updated their records to add the BW title to the cats listed below, the cats have earned the right to use the BW title.
Up until the 1995 show season, the Silver were actually part of the Shaded Division, which consisted of Chinchilla & Shaded Silver, Chinchilla & Shaded Golden, Shell & Shaded Cameo, and Shell & Shaded Tortoiseshells. After 1995, the Silver & Goldens became a separate division.
The first year a Silver qualified for the award was the 1970-71 show season, and these cats are listed below. Although CFA may not have yet updated their records to add the BW title to the cats listed below, the cats have earned the right to use the BW title.
For the Silvers, the first Breed Winner was GC, BW Gray-Ivy Keepsake of Silver Paws, a chinchilla silver female. The first male Breed Winner wasn’t until the 1979-80, earned by a shaded cameo named GC, BW Nan-Cha-Pur’s Firebug.
