My studs are available to suitable queens recently tested for FeLV/FIV - they all live in comfortable heated outdoor accommodation with equally comfortable adjacent pens and runs for visiting queens. All matings are supervised and no sharing of food/water bowls or litter trays is permitted, to minimise risk of cross-infection. I have many years' experience of stud ownership and am always happy to give help and advice on suitability of matings and possible kitten colours. Enquiries about the boys are very welcome - email or telephone 01777 249075. Please note: I strongly believe that breeding restrictions are destroying many of our pedigree breeds, therefore I do not place unreasonable restrictions on my boys' progeny. If queen owners wish to breed from a kitten sired by one of my studs, I would be happy to discuss this.
I have included the inbreeding coefficients for all of my boys; bear in mind that the average for Burmese and Ocicat breeds is around 20-25% over 16 generations. Also consider that the majority of Burmese studs in the UK have a coefficient of over 25% (16 generations). It is meaningless to use less than 8 generations for calculation of inbreeding - ideally it should be calculated right back to foundation, which is around 16 generations in Ocicats and 20-30 generations in Burmese, depending on ancestry. With Asians the calculation is not quite so accurate as I have been unable to trace Chinchilla lines back beyond the 1940s or so. However the Chinchilla contribution to my Asian lines is now very small.
Asian
Dexter is a black Smoke Asian, otherwise known as Vervain Eldarion - he is the son of Elmo (Gr Ch Vervain Elfstone) and Evie (Vervain Evenstar) so his name was an obvious choice! He will be at stud later in 2009. He carries chocolate and possibly blue, and will be useful for Burmilla breeding as he is high grade silver. Inbreeding 12.7% (8 generations), 24.2% (16 generations).
Ocicat
I do not have an Ocicat stud boy at present.
Burmese
For a limited time only, Prefere Chocolate Rondo (chocolate) will be at stud. Many thanks to his breeder Diana Nichols, and former owner Lynn Sketchley, for allowing Greg to live with me. He is a proven experienced boy who has sired some lovely kittens and I hope to mate him to all of my Burmese girls. Inbreeding coefficient 2.7% (8 generations), 24.7% (16 generations)
