Plans

The Birman boys have been busy on the run up to Christmas, Lexx and Brodie all being well will be proud dads again in the new year. I have repeated the Matings that gave me Elmarlay Babbling Brooke (Lexx to River) and also the mating that gave me Elmarlay Ceres (Brodie to Angel)

Zahara is still showing no sign of her 1st call let alone any subsequent ones at nearly 18 months this is starting to look a bit odd. Trip to the vet for a health check only revealed costly invasive options so I am waiting the arrival of spring. So no Siberian plans.

Well that's my round up I will confirm whether kittens are expected in due course on the website as well as further kitten plans. Hope you all had a good Christmas

Bye Bye To The Naughties

Well it is a bit of a sad evening seeing the last kitten of Phoenix & Scout's naughty interlude go off to their new home. Ms Tortitude was the final kitten to leave and she will be known as Poppy with new family. Bessie has settled with Tamsin & family and will be venturing out on the Show circuit in the new year as a Pedigree pet. The boys are settled in their new homes and no doubt being spoilt and not forgetting Lucy who is keeping her new owner entertained and probably the whole of the residents in the community living complex. So it is a little strange these kittens although not pedigree in the sense of the word they were thoroughly enjoyed and been raised with love and I hope each one of them brings many happy years to their new owners lives, as I certainly enjoyed having them, even if they were born out of Naughtiness.

All said and done Scout has the potential to produce outstanding kittens with the Siberian Girls and Phoenix after a 1st litter of premature kittens that sadly didn't make it she has proved to be an excellent mom, something had Scout not secretly mated her she would have never had the opportunity of being as I had planned to have her spayed and not put her through another pregnancy. The saying of Nature works in mysterious ways is very true in this case. Five beautiful kittens who have been raised with love and who have gone on to give that love onto their new owners.

Hope you all enjoy them.

North Of Britain Show 5th December

I made the trip to Sheffield with Lunar & Sharnie (Mother & Daughter Combo) The Siberians stayed at home, but it was lovely to see a good number of Siberian out on the bench. Zahara's brother was there Czar so we had a quick cuddle and a long chat with Audrey.

Lunar didn't shine at this show partly down I think to me being ill for the week and so I hadn't done the 100% job on her, plus she did have a grump on her as she is coming into call and she is always a miserable mare when she is in call, watch out girls you are in for a rough week ahead!

Sharnie did well bless her she hasn't been shown for months after some quite cutting comments from a judge had really put me off taking her out again, and although I was in doubt about taking her out again I decided to enter her and well she had a good day, taking 1st in her open and then being placed 3x 2nd in her side classes. All the comments from the judges and fellow breeders were also positive and she even had her picture taken and these will appear on the North Of Britain's website in time. All she needs to do is grow a coat and develop a ruff as she still hasn't a coat.
