Happy Halloween

The summer has been and gone and babies are safely in their new homes. We only have American Curl kittens running riot at home, they run rings round our British and the Selkirks try to keep up but fail!

We aren't planning any more litters until 2011 now as we will be very busy in the next few weeks with our wedding!!! After 14 years Stef and I are finally getting round to it on 3rd December :-)

No show news to update as we have had a long break but we will, as always, be attending the Spoticat Christmas Show on 10th, 11th & 12th December at Sports Connexion, Ryton - on - Dunsmore, CV8 3FL. Final decisions have to be made on who is joining us but there should be curls in one way or another. Needless to say it will be a bit different to a traditional honeymoon!

Although we don't have any babies available we will be retiring some of our show and breeding cats over the winter, some of them will be available to forever pet homes. If you think you would like a big Lelaurier baby please get in touch and we'll see if we can help.

and it's July already!

Half of the year has been and gone but not a lot has changed. Mikey (Lelaurier Easeamiracle)made his adult debut back in March and came home a Champion, he went to his second show in June and is now a Grand Champion! He finished the 09/10 show year as Best of Breed Selkirk Rex kitten in Western Europe and Best International Chocolate Spotted Tabby & White Selkirk Rex adult, not bad for 2 kitten and 1 adult shows!

Our kitten owners also had the following successes:
QGCA Lelaurier Coldfeet (Lilac & White British) - 2nd BOB Alter in EW
Lelaurier Glenlossie (Blue British) - 2nd BOB kitten in EW
DGCA Lelaurier Cloudingover (Blue point & White Selkirk Rex) - 3rd BOB Alter in EW

We are looking forward to the regional Banquet at the end of August where we can celebrate with friends.

The kitten front is very quiet, we just have one variant boy who has a fabulous home ready and waiting for him. We hope that Mikey will sire his first litter later this year and also plan to have some Cinnamon & Fawn British, if the girls oblige.

No shows are planned at the moment but we will be out and about this winter.

Happy New Year

Starting back in December with the Christmas show Mikey and Vinny managed to both pick up finals even with the large kitten count. Both boys loved the show which bodes well for Mikey in the future. I would love it if Vinny could go to a show home but this great big ball of love will be just as happy being a spoilt pet!
Aside from that we've had a relatively quiet Christmas and New Year, the cats have been tormenting the Christmas tree or chasing snowflakes and the dogs have either been snugged up or pretending to be snow ploughs!!
We still have older kittens available to new homes, ridiculously we still have 4 of Lexi and Henry's litter remaining, normally our British get snapped up quickly especially of this quality so if you want a beautiful British please get in touch!
No new matings are planned just yet.
