Studs  

We are fortunate on the Nursery in having SPACE - Space to build large Pens and to give protected exercise room to all our cats.  This is especially important for the Stud Boys who can also benefit from the company of a neutered Queen when not on Active Duties. The other benefit of course is that we are not restricted to just a couple of Studs, but can keep several in order to widen the Gene pool and prevent in-breeding.

MAINE COONS

Mr Nice Guy                             Marc Antony  (Daddy)                                  Yours Truly (Mum)

In 2009 we welcomed the birth of Applause Mr Nice Guy from the mating of Canadian Import Triple Gr. Ch. Carstutz Marc Antony courtesy of my friend John of Leahs Blues and my own beautiful Applause Yours Truly. 

Mr Nice Guy is now himself a Triple Gr. Ch. with TICA and was also awarded Best Silver Mackerel Tabby for 2010.

We also acquired last year a very large strong Red Tabby boy from the Villenelle Cattery - Zak of Applause (pic) who was extremely quick off the mark - siring his first two litters to Applause Sweet Caroline and Applause Super Nova, both daughters of Nice Guy - at only 7 months!

 Zak         New Pic of Lex - Now 7 months old - and Growing!!!

In 2010 we also introduced Lanega Snowman - a gorgeous Blue-eyed Solid White to our breeding program. He  is a delightful, gentle boy and has already sired kittens, giving us a solid white girl Applause Blanchette who is staying with us as another breeding Queen.

In 2011 our newcomer was Kassaro Lexden a solid Blue Boy from my good friend Sandra, bringing in more new blood from Poland and a rarely seen Island Cats Pedigree  - We are hoping for some outstanding litters in 1012 from this boy. (pic) opposite - very much a Baby. HOWEVER, Above  the pic of Snowman  is a new pic of Lex - To show how he has grown!  He loves his food.

At present he is entertaining a Lady - Applause Sweet Caroline - and I am hoping they will mate and produce some lovely bab ies  early Summer      - if all goes well we should have some big typey Blue-Silvers.

Which brings me to our remaining Stud, last but not least our Super, Reliable, Gentle Giant - Kassaro Sylvester, now  7 years old. (pic)  A classic Silver Tabby who has produced consistently, big, strong, healthy kittens with excellent markings and boning.

 Finally ALL our boys have been recently tested HCM Clear by Langfords Vet. Labs. at Bristol.

RAGDOLLS

Impossible to even mention Ragdolls without Billie (Dreamcats Applause)

Billie is the foundation Stud Boy  - Now  17 years old and he still can Sire the Best.  Every kitten Billy sired is stamped with his mark  - they look like Billy, Walk like Billy and Talk like Billy.

Billy is King - a Blue Colourpoint - My Boy - My Favourite.

Newcomer this year is the very welcome addition of Champion Villenelle Creme Crush - a big heavy boned Boy, with startling Blue/Blue eyes.   Crush`s Pedigree goes right back to Applause Alpha - one of my very first Ragdoll boys.    Crush is also a mitted boy and with the right matings will pass these lovely white feet on to some of his kittens.

I also have welcomed the return of Champion  Applause Stars Boy to  our group.  Star is one of Billies boys and his Mother is Rosauris Star of Applause = an old line I am delighted to pick up on. Star himself is a Blue Tabby like his Mother.

 Our other Tabby boy is the Huge Farisle Dreamer  - my big gentle giant - such a good lad - so easy to handle.
