In 1996 as a retirement hobby, I chose to breed British Shorthair Tipped cats.
My first queen was Coppins Topsy Turvy. She is too timid to enjoy being shown but was a very sweet and devoted mother until she retired from breeding in 2004.
I added Farjem Capella in 1997, bred by Janet Farmer. Capella is our "boss cat" and retired from showing after "struggling" when judged by Alan Edwards! Never the less, she is a confident, pleasant cat at home and has produced our first Champion – Marozka Tatiana.
CH Marozka Tatiana has now won 2 GR CH Certificates and only needs one more to become a Grand Champion.
CH Pennydown Expectations, known as Pushkin is my stud cat. You couldn't ask for a sweeter natured, more affectionate boy. He won Best in Show – British at the Bristol and District Cat Show in 2003.
Tannu Marozka Tammara has now joined the "family". She was bred by Lynn Bull in Kent and had her first litter this summer.
