GC,
DW PRESTEGA SUGAR BEAR OF EXOTIC STYLE
breeder:
Elena Kalinina |
Such
bright stars appear not frequently. Their appearance
always drives the attention of both breeders, and
uninitiated audience. How? From whom? What was the
breeding program, care, presentation? It is impossible
to overestimate significance of the fact, that the
animal of top quality has appeared in breed, which
is 30 years old only. All in all, what is the rout?
Therefore we have met the owner of the breeder who
told us that as a rule the birth of an animal of such
quality precedes the hard work of the professional
breeders who constantly move to the goal despite of
failures and disappointments. Experienced breeder
differs from the beginner - apart from experience
he posses the intuition assisting all in all the achievement
of the scheduled purpose.
One of examples of such success can be the birth of
an exotic cat of brown tabby GC, DW Prestega Sugar
Bear of Exotic Style in Prestega cattery, (breeder
- Marina Panfilova). Her parents are the two cats
from the famous American catteries: Persian blue tabby
GC, NW Polcann`s Make-My-Day of Prestega, (breeders
- Joyce and Bob Polcaro) and exotic brown tabby Bryn
Mawr Betsy Brown of Prestega, from Bryn Mawr cattery,
(breeders Werner and Irene Kachel). Each of the catteries.
Besides each of the catteries is specialized on different
breed: Polcann - persians, Bryn Mawr - exotics one.
Marina was not afraid to make experiments, being led
by her intuition she was awarede by two fairy brown-tabby
exotics kittens: Sugar Bear & Tomaguchi. Certainly,
the success was based not only on the intuition, but
also on the fact that each of these breeders had a
very strong family tree.

Father:
GC, NW Polcann`s Make-My-Day
- the National Winner, 19th Best Cat, 2nd Best
Tabby, the Best Blue Tabby of CFA 1997, the Best Tabby at
the International Cat Show 1995.

The
titles of the cat speak for him. Mother: Bryn
Mawr Betsy Brown, was brought by Marina as a breeding
quality, but she has a super pedigree, one of the strongest
in Moscow. Both of the parents of this female have the best
awards, i.e. are the National Winner of America (on CFA system).

Father:
GC, NW Bryn Mawr Bagsy Malone, DM,
won this title in 1997, became 4th Best Cat CFA of 1997.

Mother:
GC, NW Jovan Miss USA of Bryn Mawr, DM
has won this title in 1992, became 5th Best Kitten and 15th
Best Cat CFA 93г. Besides of these titles she also has prefix
a DM (Distinguished Merit). This award is achieved by the
cats who produce our other award winners. In order to advance
to the exalted status of a Distinguished Merit cat, a male
has to produce 15 grands (or other DMs) and a female must
produce five grands (or other DMs). In the second and third
knee of this pedigree we also can see the animals with top
CFA titles, such as:

That is why, having arrived to Marine I was shown a small
kitten, which had been 4 weeks at that moment, I immediately
understood that I couldn't help buying it later, and he will
be one of the top representatives in the breed.
By that time I've already been
breeding
Exotics
for several years
already so my opinion for Marina
was of much importance since in her turn she had been devoted
to breeding Persians. These two breeds are different for sure,
although exotic shorthair has been breeded on the basis of the
Persians they still have difference in appearance. Marina at
once has told me about the forthcoming difficulties, honorably
notifying, that this male was of top show quality and the exhibition
career has been necessary for him.Unfortunately there are 3
CFA clubs in Moscow only and the exhibitions are arranged no
more than 4-5 times per year, in which the small amount of animals
participates.So we decided that we should try our best and show
Sugar Bear in Europe. On this topic our opinions coincided.
I knew that maintenance and care is of much importance for the
exhibition career. The cat besides the significant pedigree,
type and other qualities of the breed should constantly keep
excellent fit, which the breeder should care a lot for. Good
condition and presentation can not be achieved by taking care
of the cat only the day before the exhibition. Having brought
him home, I began to prepare him to the future exhibition career
at once. |
