It was this combination that worked so well and gave me a sound base on which to work. With the invaluable help of Verlie my cats became more and more beautiful. They looked exactly as I wanted them to and their temperament was sound.
Verlie allowed me to use
the most handsome Ramree Jantan Warnaduku, Kiporia Miff and the excellent Ch
Kiporia Far – believe me it was chocolate heaven. Verlie also gave me Kiporia Bliss, a stunning brown female.
Of course Hooray Henri’s children were a joy and included Gr Ch & Gr Pr Rossikhan Bon Ton, Gr Pr Rossikhan Snowleopard and UK Gr Ch & Gr Pr Rossikhan Velvetmist.
Roger
Hitchen gave me Gr Ch Bambino Blue Czar and mated to my girls he produced Ch
Rossikhan Pussy Willow
and Gr Ch Molynmeux Deja Veux (bred for me by my good friend Ally
Williams) and ultimately, and true to character, in his last litter for me he
gave me Gr Ch Rossikhan Sonovzar.
It
may appear at first sight that my cats cannot fail to win, but this is
definitely not the case. My cats
look how I want them to look and I make no apologies for being biased, but it is
a matter of personal taste and interpretation.
Burmese, as you will see at any cat show have a wide diversity in
appearance.
On a personal note – I have been married to John since May 1980. We met on the 10.11.78 and were engaged on the 24.11.78 – exactly two weeks after we first met.
Although
my prefix is solely in my name nothing would have been possible without his
unfailing support – so in every other respect the Rossikhan prefix is joint.
