"Sharada Living the Dream"~ Ivy

 

DOB: 13th February 2007

Colour: Chocolate tabby pt

Blood type: A/b 

Sire: Gd. Pr. Sharada Tabby Two Shoes (Seal tabby pt)

Dam: ACF AoE, Gold. Ch. Sharada Phoenix Dreaming (Hons) (Lilac pt)

Ivy is a beautiful sweet natured little girl who knows what she wants when she wants it. She can be rather selective with her affections but once you have won her over she is a real little love bug. She is a beautiful cat although not very big she is of nice type. She is only just show marked and it was nice to see her get her champion title.

Ivy has retired from breeding after having just 3 litters which is such a shame because she is a fantastic and very attentive mother. She will however stay on here at Berrick to be another of my neuter pets because I love her so dearly and she was adopted as a pet firstly.

At this stage her lines will not be lost because her son "Berrick Galileo" will most likely stay on here at Berrick. He is still under assessment but being a tabby just like his mother he will be a great asset to our breeding program.

"Sharada Rainbow Rhapsody"~ Riah

GCCFV 5th Best Group 1 Kitten of the Year 2008 (Best Female Birman Kitten)

 

DOB: 23rd September 2007

Colour: Seal pt

Blood type: A/a

Sire: Gold Ch. Dejavu Hershey (Chocolate pt)

Dam: Db. Gd. Ch. Sharada Rainbow Sky (Blue Tortie pt)

Riah is a funny girl with such a big personality. She is very clown like in her behaviour and has some quirky habits which have been passed on to some of her children. She loves everyone but is very wary of dogs and was very upset when we welcomed a Westie pup into the house.

She did very well on the show scene as a young girl winning a number of Best Birman Kitten awards and placing well in Group. I didn't show her much as an adult because the show scene wasn't really her thing. She would have been "Champion" title with just a couple more challenges but felt it wasn't worth it for her.

After just 2 litters I made the decision to desex her with her health as first priority. She had a hard time with her 2nd litter having eclapmsia twice and trying to wean her six 5 week old babies. She loved being a mother but some girls are not cut out for breeding. Unfortunately I haven't kept anything from her with her 2nd litter only having the one girl not being breed quality. Some of her lines however will be carried on with her cousin "Peloux Golden Willow".
