Our first Russian Blue kitten (Annalova Jenia) was purchased from Anne Anderson of Selby in 1985 and we quickly became inseparable from this affectionate breed.

Our first breeding queen was Ch. Annalova Petroushka who was mated to Ch Shamari Shannon. The first mating produced the first two United Kingdom Grand Champion Russian Blues – UK Gr Ch & Gr Pr Shoelina Pushkin and UK Gr Ch & Gr Pr Shoelina Pulcinella.

To improve the available gene pool in the UK, we purchased a boy, Gr Ch Siblu Njinsky from Cheryl Steffe in Australia in 2002 being one of the first cats to be imported under the “pet passport” scheme.
