 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...........

 

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 on her terms only 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

R.I.P 12.12.2007

Prince's first and only litter

 

Katyenka Imir D.O.B 24.08.08

 

We were very lucky indeed to be able to keep this special pedigree & of  course our dream solid white cat.  Imir is jut a dreamy cuddly cat who loves nothing more then just to laze around & watch the world go by.  Imir is very important to keep the solid white genes in the UK & will be kept as our own working stud.  Watching him grow has been a pleasure & he is looking more alike his Grandad every day.

 

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.

We were very fortunate to be in contact with Adreinn who took Precious in to her home & allowed Otello to be her new man friend.

This is her first litter which of course we will be keeping one baby for ourselves as we will not repeat this mating.

 

( 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.

 

Katyenka Luka D.O.B 12.04.09

This is our home bred boy  who was surprise for us we did a very special mating & we were hoping for a girl but he was the only baby of course he had to stay.  Luka has done really well at a young age on the TICA show bench & was told he is one of the best Siberian's they had seen in a long time, that was a great moment itself as Luka is of my own breeding.

Rossity Slava  D.O.B     08.06.09

This is our first Classic tabby pattern girl & our second Russian princess.  Slava joins our cattery early June 2009.

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 ©
