Snowgum Zaviska Best In Show!

We had some great news from one of our kitten owners in Victoria yesterday.  Snowgum Zaviska ( otherwise known as Bear) attended the Pedigree Persian Kitten Club's show in  Boronia, Vic and won Best in Show! Wow! Well done Bear! We are so proud of you!!!

Bear was the first kitten we have sold for showing in Australia so we are thrilled with this fantastic result. Bear is from Penny and Sebastian and was born in August 2012 so he's doing brilliantly to win this award at just 6 months of age considering that many Siberians go through an awkward looking teenage phase around this time.

Of course he couldn't have done it without his wonderful owners Mark and Gayle McPhee. Congratulations Mark and Gayle! And thank you for giving Bear such a wonderful loving home and making the effort to show him. Showing does take a lot of time, energy and commitment so we really do appreciate you showing him off!

Thank you also to judge Carol Hoskins for placing him. We are so pleased you like him as much as we do!

Here he is with judge Carol Hoskins after winning Best in Show!

And here he is relaxing at home after his show bath:

And pretending to be a bat :-)

Congratulations Bear and Mark and Gayle! xx

Snowgum The Earl [of] Essex

Snowgum The Earl of Essex (or Earl at home!) is from our first Aussie-born litter from Meadow x certified foundation stud Innokentii.  Earl is developing well and is now 7 months old.  He has a wonderful coat texture and beautiful strong markings.  As it's summer here in Sydney he doesn't have a full coat yet but we can't wait to see what it will be like when winter comes as he had such a beautiful full coat as a kitten.  Earl brings a brand new bloodline to the breed on his Dad's side which will add to the diversity of our breeding program.  Many thanks again to Maria Bunina for allowing the mating which has resulted in the very handsome Earl.

Here are some pics of him taken at 5 months of age.

 

Astra and Karina's kittens

Astra and Karina both recently had litters just a week apart. They have decided to raise their kittens together to share the mothering effort, something we have never had before. So cute seeing them care for each other and feed their babies interchangably!

Karina's babies are now 5 weeks and Astra's 6 weeks. All are reserved with the exception of two who may stay here for breeding (they have homes lined up should we decide not to keep them). Here are some pics:

Off topic but I just wanted to share with you some pics of my baby girl Elise who is growing up so quick! She is now 11 weeks old - how time flies!
