A small amount of trimming on the insides of the ears can make for a neater appearance. It should be resilient and snap back into place when stroked back on the sides and back. It must be in condition and have a healthy sheen. A shining, clean, sparkling coat combined with really good color is awe-inspiring. A dirty, out of condition coat is a definite turn-off.
Condition is the name of the game in all breeds.
Cleanliness is so important. Proper conditioning starts from the inside out, resulting in gleaming coats and bright, clear eyes. I check the coat length when I m checking out its resilience. I also like to feel some nice, solid muscle tone underneath the coat. Good grooming, to me, enhances the cat no matter what the breed.
