Litter #12: BVR Oyster x SLKY Amphora
For Russian Blue Satin
- Reason/Goal for Breeding:
- This will be in an effort to rejuvenate our Russian Blue Satin line and possibly transform at least part of it into an experiment on a new Color Mutation. We are looking for good size and health. Oyster is one of the most amazing boys we've ever had in our rattery. His color is super dark, saturated, and unsilvered. His large with nice substance and a personality of being sweet and spunky. He's excellent in his interactions with both humans and rats. Amphora is a darling, sweet girl with amazing Satin fur and nice dark color. She's been reluctant to get pregnant, but Oyster finally got the job done for us.

Litter #11: SLKY WarAdmiral x SLKY Glencairn
For Russian Blue Point Siamese Line
- Reason/Goal for Breeding:
- This was our first entirely Siamese litter. War Admiral has some lovely conformation. He has a nice solid head and body that well embrace the look of the boys we like to breed here. We suspect he may have markings on his chest, but we have chosen to use him since we find body conformation to be more important than coloring. Glencairn has lovely dark points and is a sweet young girl. She gets along well with all of her cage mates, yet is as sassy and spunky as her grandmother and great-grandmother. We'll be keeping the best, darkest Siamese from this litter.

Litter #10: BVR Jack of Diamonds x SLKY Secretariat
For Russian Blue/Silver Siamese Line
- Reason/Goal for Breeding:
- From this pairing, we were looking to get some nice Siamese kids. All are Russian Blue with about half being Blue Point Siamese. We seemed to get very little marking on these kids with the exception of the toes, which will take several generations to see real improvment on. They have very nice shape which they seem to be getting from both of their parents. They also seem to have Secretariat's deep coloring and Jack's good size and heft. Jack of Diamonds is a very sweet boy who gives tons of kisses and loves his shoulders rubbed. Secretariat has amazing conformation with the laid back personality of her parents and grandparents.

Litter #9: SLKY Tzatziki x BVR Tiffany
For Russian Silver Siamese Line
- Reason/Goal for Breeding:
- For Russian Silver Siamese Line. This litter was to work toward our goal of getting Russian Silver Point Siamese. We were looking for deep color that goes all the way to the toes. Specifically, we'll were looking to get some nice females from this litter. We thought these kids would all be Russian Silver, but their momma turned out to be Russian Blue instead of Russian Silver. Thus, all the kids are Russian Blue. Some have Rex fur, which is lots of fun; though we are not trying to keep that gene in this line. All of the kids carry The Russian Silver gene and the Satin fur gene.
