Shorthair Manx Breed Winners in CFA

 

Breed Winner in 1966-67, GC, BW Kittrik's Katydid

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 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.

The first year a Manx qualified for the award was the 1966-67 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.

The first Shorthair Manx Breed Winner was a Black female named GC, BW Kittrik's Katydid. The first male Breed Winner didn't occur for 10 years, in 1976-77, when a Black and White named GC, BW, NW Sandef's Bronko Nagurski was best of breed.
