This picture is of a Bristol Shubunkin.
Unfortunately it is not a perfect standard specimen but it is not bad.
It could have a larger and more lobed tail and better colouring but unfortunately it is the only picture of one i have.

nice bumpkin
do you just have Bristols or do you keep Londons too?
 
He's Lovely.

I Only Recently Discovered Bristols - Much Better Looking than Standard Bumpkins
 
I do not own this fish, it was on show by another exhibitor at the fish show in Corby last year. It is a nice fish though.
I have had a london shubunkin in the past which had the proper standard body shape and fins. I have not seen another for sale since that matched the criteria so I still have a look in the shops when I go.
I tend to just have the common english goldfish, the ones that are not all that common. Tee Hee.
I do know of a breeder who specializes in show quality Bristols as well as the fancy goldfish. He is based in Birmingham. Must say though I have not been there for a number of years.
