 Our  Foundation Girls are Harmiona & Hedwiga z Dworku Bojara D.O.B 03.06.2004

I fell so much in love with the two girls and they hold a very special place in my heart forever from the moment I opened the carrier from Heathrow Airport I can never thank their breeder Jagoda of Z Dworku Bojara Cattery enough for sending me the most precious girls...........

Both girls are now retired & living as very very happy pets !

 

 

Our Foundation stud boy was a very handsome high white Finland Import D.O.B 22.07.2005,  Champion *Fin Zigwan's Chula from *Fin Zigwans Cattery

son of the...................PR  GIC Boogie Woogie pictured below

I dont think I can get over how much the father and son look so much alike., and then he produced a daughter.

 Katyenka Elisavita D.O.B 17.01.07

Elisa is a very important mix of fantastic quality  Polish and Finland lines who we have high hopes of producing great kittens.............

Elisa has very strong genes & produces kittens the bright green eyes which I adore so much.  Eliza loves her cuddles only her terms mind you.

In March 2007 saw the greatest pleasure of the very first solid white Siberian in the UK from mostly new bloodline in the UK CH Siberkot Prince Charming, I had been searching for my greatest passion for years and thanks to Wendy of Kotchera Cattery she made my dreams come true D.O.B 17.05.2006

Sadly Prince only had a very short time with us and sired only one litter of which we kept no siblings to keep his lines going.................... Fortunately we sold a male kitten to a previous kitten owner & we have been able to carry on Prince's lines when we mated Katyenka Gavrie  (Diesel)  with Katyenka Elisavita & they have produced a litter in August 2008

Prince's first and only litter

 

R.I.P Katyenka Imir D.O.B 24.08.08 -25.032011

We were very lucky indeed to be able to keep this special pedigree & of  course our dream solid white cat.  Imir wass just a dreamy cuddly cat who loved nothing more then just to laze around & watch the world go by.  Imir was very important to keep the solid white genes in the UK.

We were loving watching him grow & he was very very special to me in all ways & I shall miss him with every beat of my heart

He was starting to look more like his Grandad every day.

Imir would of been such a handsome chap when he fully matured, until we meet again my baby boy.

 

 

CH Taurus Oblachko D.O.B  30.09.2007

 

In February 2009 we introduced our Russian Princess Taurus Oblachko aka Precious.  This was a long time coming to the cattery we tried hard several times to secure a precious Taurus baby & now we have succeeded.

Precious is everything you would want & more in a Siberian she is feminine sturdy & inquisitive hardly any fear at all within seconds of opening her carrier at home she was purring  contently & exploring with her tail help up high as proud as any princess.

People who see the pictures of this girl say she is much much lighter then in her photos.

Precious became champion in 2009

( N ) Sřtorp's Brutus D.O.B 22.10.2008

What can I say about this amazing young man of who joined us in the UK in August 2009.

He is from the great Rembo lines, to me this is very important because Rembo defines what I think a Siberian should look like.  Also he will be my silver to silver breeding programme.

We are also very excited to be going to Norway to collect Brutus & meet his breeder mommy & daddy this is very exciting indeed, it will be such a pleasure to be visit such a beautiful country.

 

 

Rossity Slava  D.O.B     08.06.09

This is our first Classic tabby pattern girl & our second Russian princess.  Slava aka boo joined our cattery middle of 2009.

What can we say about this special little girl she is a very big girl & she looks so much like her daddy & we are very very pleased about that

Boo is just a joy & loves her babies very much she  is such a clown about & loves her favourite toy a drinking straw !!!!

( N ) Vestavind Dramatica  D.O.B 24.02.2010

Our second Norwegian baby which is very exciting & joined us early 2011

Dramatica aka fussy is a very special girl & our second kitty with Rembo lines & we are hoping to merge the lines to double up on the pedigree.

We just love her Orange eyes mesmerising ! 

Fussy is called that because she just loves to be fussed with, she carries her tail straight up & it just cascades over.  Fussy likes to make friends very easy & we are very excited to meet her babies.

 

 

What is a breeder?
 


A Breeder (with a capital B) is one who thirsts for knowledge and never really knows it all, one who wrestles with decisions of conscience, convenience, and commitment.

 A Breeder is one who sacrifices personal interests, finances, time, friendships, fancy furniture, and deep pile carpeting!

 He gives up the dreams of a long, luxurious cruise in favor of turning that all important Show into this years "vacation". The Breeder goes without sleep (but never without coffee!) in hours spent planning a breeding or watching anxiously over the birth process, and afterwards, over every little sneeze, wiggle or cry.

The Breeder skips dinner parties because that litter is due or the babies have to be fed at eight. He disregards birth fluids and puts mouth to mouth to save a gasping newborn, literally blowing life into a tiny, helpless creature that may be the culmination of a lifetime of dreams.

A Breeders lap is a marvelous place where generations of proud and noble champions once snoozed. A Breeders hands are strong and firm and often soiled, but ever so gentle and sensitive to the thrusts of a kits wet nose.

A Breeders back and knees are usually arthritic from stooping, bending, and sitting in the birthing box, but are strong enough to enable the Breeder to show the next choice kitten to a Grand Championship.

A Breeders shoulders are,
stooped and often heaped with abuse from competitors, but they're wide enough
to support the weight of a thousand defeats and frustrations.

A Breeders arms are always able to wield a mop, support an armful of kittens, or lend a helping hand to a newcomer.

 A Breeders ears are wondrous things, sometimes red (from being talked about) or strangely shaped (from being pressed against a phone receiver), often deaf to criticism, yet always fine-tuned to the whimper of a sick kitten.

A Breeders eyes are blurred from pedigree research and sometimes blind to her own cats faults, but they are ever so keen to the competitions faults and are always searching for the perfect specimen. 

A Breeders brain is foggy on faces, but it can recall pedigrees
faster than an IBM computer. It's so full of knowledge that sometimes it blows a
fuse:  it catalogues thousands of good boning, fine ears, and perfect heads...
and buries in the soul the failures and the ones that didn't turn out. The Breeders heart is often broken, but it beats strongly with hope everlasting... and it's always in the right place!

Oh, yes, there are breeders, and then, there are BREEDERS !! © Chuck ©
