It all began 20 years ago. A chocolate point Siamese walked into our lives and we were done for. Twiggy was a real character - a one in a lifetime cat whose sole aim in life was to give you as much assistance as possible, with all things at all times!
In 1987 we acquired our second kitten, Adiveam Gooday Sunshine. Bred by a cousin, and with a wonderful pedigree and sweet nature, but not a show cat. "Mitzie" ,as she was known, was quite an individual and knew her own mind. Unfortunately, despite her aristocratic lineage she was not cut out for motherhood and so became a happy neuter. Shortly after her arrival came what were to become our foundation queens, Parthia Aurora (Coco) and Parthia Giselle (Snowy). These ladies did us proud and between them produced some 40 kittens over eight years.
Fourteen years on and we now have four direct line generations:
Coco,
her daughter:
Landican Desdemona (32b1), (Sire: Tikoon Golden Genesis)
her Grand-daughters:
Ch Landican Lonestar (37h) (Sire:Filanjo Crème Brule)
And
Gr.Ch.& Pr Landican Firebird (37d) (Sire: Gr Ch Filanjo Topaz),
and now her Great-Grand-daughters
Ch Landican Cream Cracker(37f) (Sire:Gr Ch Summerdown Cream Pasha). (Dam: Lonestar)
And
Ch Landican Stormcloud (32b3) (Sire: Gr Ch Johpas Charlemagne Dam: Firebird)
Cream Cracker had kittens of her own this spring - so we have now achieved 5 generations.
This is not to mention her other daughter,
Landican Cloudchaser (24) (Sire: Zeppelin Sky Bandit)
And her daughter
Landican Legacy (32/1) (Sire: Gr Ch Zeppelin Wellington 32/1)
and her Grand-daughter
Maiysha Beelzebub Babe (32/2)
(Sire: Gr Ch Zeppelin Deerhunter Dam: Landican Sleeping Princess).
Regrettably, we did not establish a line from Snowy, although we kept her son, Landican Snowberry (32/3). (Sire: Gr Ch Zeppelin Wellington) who has now joined her at the Rainbow Bridge (I hope She is not to put out by that and that she is kinder to him there than she was here!!!)
Both our two matriarchs enjoyed their roles as (great-grandmother and Aunt) assisting the younger girls with their offspring.
Desdemona (DeeDee) is now neutered and lives a contented life, pottering around the garden during the day. She is not in the slightest interested in other peoples offspring and is not slow in telling them!
Both Lonestar (Valerie), Firebird (Rita) are also now retired from breeding and are enjoying another round of showing, Rita having just achieved her Premier title and Valerie hold on with 2 PC's.
We are breeding successfully with Cream Cracker (Vera), Beelzebub Babe (Ellie) and Legacy (Gracie) and from the youngster Stormcloud (Maisie).
