GP is the other one of those two first queens in my breeding, and she's definitely The Queen Of My Heart! I wasn't supposed to get any new cats in that point of my life, but I simply couldn't resist the eyes & the face of this cat!! I had to have her! So, she finally moved here at the age of 10 months, and what a treasure I got - wonderfully typed, big & strong female, heavy eater, very strong "reddish" tortie point colour, top show quality markings, very sweet & kind temperament with strong own will!;-) GP became European Champion easily with several NOM & BIV, and is also BIS Winner! She has produced so far 5 litters with 18 kittens total, and has giving me absolutely my best kittens, for example my dear princess Multi BIS Winner & Cat Of The Year 2005, 2006 & 2007 EC Zhamanen Ladhar Bheinn, JW DSM SBI g "Konna", but also many other high quality kittens that I'm so proud of, like brothers GIP&EC Zhamanen Disteghil Sar SBI b & EC Zhamanen Diablo SBI e (my former studs, now retired from breeding & neutered), Zhamanen Dhaulagiri SBI a (my former queen, also former queen in cattery FIN*Recknagel, nowadays retired from breeding & neutered), EC Zhamanen Ice Box, JW SBI n (my former stud, now retired from breeding & neutered), GIC Zhamanen Imja Tse SBI d (former stud in cattery FIN*Birmayan, now retired from breeding & neutered), IC Zhamanen Fireworks SBI g (my former queen), CH Zhamanen I Eat Tigers SBI f (my present queen), GIC Zhamanen Lugnaquilla SBI a (present queen in cattery FIN*Chirybiry's) and Zhamanen Lonquimay SBI n (present queen in cattery UKR*Sapphire Glance, also multi BIS Winner!). GP also gained the title Distinguished Merit some years ago (THANKS again for the owners of her children!), and she also became Queen Of The Year 2005 in Finland, so I really have reasons to be soooo proud of her!! =) GP is carrying dilution and chocolate, so it's always extra exciting to wait the colours of her kittens developing! At the moment, at the age of 9 years, she is still in TOP condition every way, and I'm still hoping to get a litter or two after her in the future! :-)

GP is the mother of 3 JUNIOR WINNER's in our Cattery:

Tabby-Lily and her best friend Windy (EC Chiritan Goddess of Wind SBI d) joined us in the summer 2004 at the age of 1 year, because their former owner couldn't keep them anymore. Well, after a short thinking I decided to take them both here (to be honest: it was not difficult decicion to made, because I knew Tabby-Lily was really something SPECIAL to me, and Windy is very high quality redpoint too!). The funny thing is, that I was NEVER supposed to start breeding tabbies, only solid birmans!;-) Nowadays, Tabby-Lily is one of those cats I could never even think of giving away....She is a half-sister of GP, and has the most amazingly rounded face (from the grandfather Garrison!!) with exc profile, nice eye form & size & colour, lovely dark chocolatetabby point colour with super contrasts all over! She's very charming, sweet & kind lady and very social with everybody!  She has so far 3 litters with 9 kittens total. Tabby-Lily is European Champion and she will now continue her career as a mother;-)

So, Windy came to us "by accident" together with her best friend Tabby-Lily! She is the most kindest cat in the world, never said bad words to anybody, she is always friendly & easy to handle. Except, she doesn't want to be near the hair dryer....so, it's a bit hard to wash & dry her coat to the shows.... ;-) And she REALLY has amazing coat, SUPER length & quality!! Windy also has super point colour & very nice contrasts with perfect white markings. Her eyecolour is a bit pale and chin could be stronger, but otherwise she's a nice showquality female. Windy is European Champion. Her breeding career has not been very successful, I have mated her 3 times, and she has became pregnant each time, but has always got miscarriadge....I already thought I should neuter her, but luckily I mated her once more, and this time everything went perfectly and she became a happy mother of 2 cute redpoint kittens!=)

My dear Peto, "The Magic Eyes"! =) Peto is a cat once you have seen her, you never forgot her! Not because of big size or a big coat, but there is something really magical on her....propably on her looks with those deepest deep blue eyes and dark coloured tortie face! It was totally clear to me from the beginning, that Peto will stay at home (torties are my weekness!;-). Peto is quite shy cat, but still very kind. She is International Champion and is going to continue her show career later on. As kitten/junior she got 9 x NOM, wich is quite amazing result for a tortiepoint birman! She has 2 litters with 4 kittens total. Because Peto never really enjoyed motherhood, she is going to be neutered in the near future.

My sweet little princess Konna! She stole my heart complitely as a tiny kitten and now....I'm lost!;-) I love her so much that it's not even possible to say in words... Konna has got unbelievable show career already, she has been 11 times Best In Show Kitten and 41 times Best In Show Adult so far on her career, and she is also JUNIOR WINNER & European Champion and has also the rare Distinguished Show Merit-title!!! She has also received the titles CAT OF THE YEAR 2005 & 2006 & 2007 in Finland (all over!), Birman Adult of the Year 2005 & 2006 & 2007 and Birman Kitten of the Year 2004! In May 2008, just for fun, Konna participated in CFA show, and received also CFA Champion-title, but because of the difference of birman standard between CFA & FIFe, it was obvious, Konna was not quite what CFA-birman should be!;-)

But all her success is not important for me anymore, I'm so happy & lucky that she's still alive, as I almost lost her in the beginning of June 2005! :-( For somehow she got some kind of intoxication and she nearly died! I'm forever thankful for veterinary doctor Merja Mäkinen in Vammala, University Animal Hospital (YES) in Helsinki and Animal Hospital Aisti in Vantaa that they saved her life (and mine)!!! And thank you also all of my dear friends for all the support & kind words during that time! After that, Konna was "out of games" 3 months complitely, but she continued her show career later that year, and the rest is history!;-) Konna really loves to be in the middle of everything, she's always so happy in shows, enjoying all attention!:-) She knows she is beautiful and she is not a Princess only for her looks, but she's always also behaving like one! =D

Here at home, Konna's my sunshine and joy of life! She follows me everywhere and wants to take part of all action. Her voice is tiny "meaow", but no matter how deeply I sleep, I'll wake up immediately on it! She is sleeping with me & dogs in the bed, under my blanket, of course...She's really very very spoiled little thing! =) But she's The Princess, princesses can do what ever they want..... ;-)

Despite all of her success, Konna is not "perfect" either....At least, she could be a bit bigger (her weight is around 3,5kg), her forehead could be a bit rounder and the ears could be a bit lower set. Also her front socks are little bit uneven & low to be perfect. But OTHERWISE, hard to find any other faults! =) She has so far 1 litter with 2 kittens total. Konna is going to continue her showcareer now....as long as she is willing to do that!;-)

Have you met Miss Jones?! One of my favourite songs by the way.....sang by my favourite artist (Robbie Williams) from the movie Bridget Jones (René Zellweger)!;-) That's the story of the strange name of this cat..... =D 

Miss Jones just borned to be my cat, no explanations needed!;-) I really love chocolate point birmans, especially this kind of dark chocolate with even mask colour (wich is quite hard to get)! Ms J also have complitely pale bodycolour, so the contrasts are really great! She also has deep blue eyecolour and really sweet expression & exc profile. Her ears could be a bit lower set and chin a bit stronger, and overall, she needs time to develope as she's still very "teenager"! She has nice showquality markings, and she is European Champion! Now is her time to make babies... so far she has 1 litter that includes 3 the most cutest tortie girls!! =)

Barbara came from Sweden at the beginning of year 2005. She is a lovely example of my favourite colour, torties are always so special, there is never 2 cats that have exactly the same colouring! Barbara is complitely opposite "blackish" coloured comparing to GP, who is "reddish" sealtortie!!:-) And she has really funny looking red area in the middle of her otherwise black face! Barbara is show quality girl with lovely expression & ears, nice eyecolour & form and she has super coat - when she has coat! =)  She is in showcondition every year between December to February, and then she drops ALL of her coat at one week and stays half bold rest of the year!! It's really hard showing her up to EC, because there is not so many shows arranged in Finland in wintertime! But we will do it, sooner or later!;-) At the moment she has the title Grand International Champion. Barbara has lovely sweet temperament and she is talking a lot like a real torties do! She has so far 3 litters with 12 kittens total.

Ferrarina is really a dream come true!! Immediately after she was born, I decided she is N.F.S. (= Not For Sale)! =) She is lovely, super beautiful female with the most charming rounded face & expression, perfect ears & ear placement, deep blue eyes and super coat quality & length! I really love her beautiful "reddish" chocolatetortie colour! She is also very kind & sweet girl. Ferrarina is not top show quality because her white markings are bit uneven, but I have planned to show her time to time and trying to receive at least IC-title in the future! There is not many things in her I could wish better....well, maybe the white markings as mentioned!;-) Otherwise she is just so perfect as a cat can be! She has so far 1 litter with 3 kittens total.

HCM-neg. (September 2007)

Well, as many of the people who knows me knows, sealpoint is really NOT my favourite colour at all! =) So, at the beginning, I had no mention to keep this charming little girl.....but Diips decided to stay anyway! Technically she is not my best cat at all, but she has the MOST sweetest face & expression, nobody can resist her!!! She is also quite small in size, wich has made me think a lot wether to use her for breeding or not....but maybe I will try at least once with some big & strong male, let's see!;-) Diips has amazingly deepest deep blue eyes (I think she has got them from grandfather Lushan!) and super points colour & contrasts (even though she has a chocpoint father;-). Her white markings are bit uneven but ok.

Jojo is living with Tarja Virtanen & family in Lempäälä, together with neuter birman boy Pate (Zhamanen Barry White SBI c)! She is going to be a mother of one Zhamanen-litter in the future! Jojo is not show quality birman, because she doesn't have the other gauntlet at all. She came from Italy for bringing back his fathers lines to my breeding! And of course, her colour is very beautiful sealtortietabby, so hopefully she gives me some nice tortie(tabby)babies in the future!=)
