After 35 years of firstly breeding Birmans and then breeding these amazing and fabulous Burmese it is time to retire from breeding. It is a decision that has been a long time coming and was so hard to make as I am so obsessed with this breed and not something my heart really wants to do. What is left of the brain is telling me - we are only here a short time and it’s time for Garry and I to share more time together doing the others things in life we love. He is very excited and thinking about our next cruise 🚢 something that is so hard to plan when you are breeding as the kittens and cats always come first.
I have let 2 of my young girls go to another breeder and possibly the other 2 young girls to keep all that hard work going. However Josephine, Dayna and Lady will retire from breeding. They are pregnant and will be my last litters and so by Christmas hopefully we can start to do some other pleasures in life.
Josephine has started delivering her babies tonight 3 boys and 1 girl so far and I think 2 more (bit hard to tell as they are huge babies). I will enjoy these last litters of kittens. Hopefully there is a show boy in there I can show in the desexed ring.
I will still show at cat shows, organise cat shows and there will be more time to judge about the place. It is always such a marathon to judge out of Brisbane with all the organising and so from next year will be so easy to get away.
I know there are a lot of happy Belshogar owners out there as I hear from so many of you. Thank you for giving my kittens the best homes and appreciating this beautiful breed “Burmese” 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
