We have shown Siberians since October 2007 - with Kirov attaining 5 Merit Awards at GCCF Shows. He was also very successful in Side and Miscellaneous Classes, including having been Nominated for Best in Show twice (Siberians were not at the time eligible - as Merit status cats cannot be considered for Best In Show). However, it was interesting that two Judges were of the opinion that he was their Best Cat in terms of Nomination.
In June 2008 we took Kirov to a TICA Show - and that was the beginning of our Showing 'affair' with TICA.
To date - we have achieved the following -
Show Year 2008/2009 - Kirov gained the Title -
TICA - RW Supreme Grand Champion Alter -
He was the 2nd Siberian Alter to achieve this Title - the 1st being his half brother - Alexandrite Azazael (Alexandrite Siberians)
Kirov also achieved Best Siberian Alter Europe North Region
and
17th Best All Breed Alter in Europe North Region
Kirov was 4th Best International Siberian Alter
Having been shown as an entire male and achieving Quadruple Grand Champion - Altai was neutered and started his show career over - from scratch. During the show season Altai achieved 15 Best Cats - and during that year - no other Siberian Alter anywhere achieved more than this. This is a testament to his great breeding - that is down to his breeder - Miss Maria Bunina.
In show season 2009/2010 Altai achieved the following -
TICA - RW Supreme Grand Champion Alter
Altai was the 3rd Siberian Alter to achieve this Title. All Supreme Grand Champion Alters - which now include Musrafy Lukin of Skyvalley - are related -
Altai also achieved Best Siberian Alter - Europe West Region
8th Best All Breed Alter - Europe West Region
3rd Best International Siberian Alter
We are very proud of our boys - who are the most wonderful pets - and without whom - our lives would be so much duller.
Timosha - achieved TICA Champion Alter - but unfortunately likes his food too much - and is a little in need of some 'dietary' reduction. Perhaps we may find him back in the Show Ring when he has lost his 'spare tyre'.
