This is Alanela Sukiyaki -
first Siamese, a Choc.Pt. purchased at eight weeks, as a supposed
Bluepoint. I had her for one year before I found Sarah whilst
on holiday in Cornwall. She began my love of Chocolates and my
desire to own a top class dominant typed male who turned out
to be Domino (below).

Trubun Sarah, Blue Pt. Siamese
born 1964 sire Ch. Misselfore Lysander, Blue Pt, Not the most
typy of kittens but the proof that pedigrees are the most important
factor when breeding because her grand-son,Pendlemist Angelus,born
1968 (below), a Bluepoint son of Ryecroft Blue Print was my first
kitten Best in Show winner.

Champion Sunjade Chocolate Domino,Choc.Pt, The sire of so many
Champion offspring in the 1970s. His temperament was typically
Chocolate.

Pendlemist Angelus, Blue Pt.

Grand Champion Seadog Pacal
born November 1975 was the true love of my life. Chosen as a
kitten, against some Judge and breeders advice, he fulfilled
all my wildest dreams. He sired so many quality sons & daughters,
both Siamese and Orientals, and made a tremendous impact on type
in the U.K - he brought out the best genes in the lowliest of
pedigrees and his untimely death at 3 years and 8 months of age
was the lowest point I have ever experienced.

Some of the award's Pacal
won. He realised Best of Breed Sealpoint and Best Adult many,
many times including the Siamese Cat Club Show, The National
and the Supreme. I can remember carrying the majority of these
solid silver trophies from the Siamese Cat Club general meeting,
in carrier bags, through the London Underground. Nowadays these
are kept in the vaults of the Bank. Polishing them was quite
a chore I remember !!

Ch. Adreesh Bijou Blackbeauty,Black
Oriental, was another very dominant stud I had the privilege
of owning and whose pedigree, when combined with Pacals,
gave superb head and body type to his offspring. He was part
of my great affinity with Blacks and Havanas.

Conchita (Havana), a typical
example of a daughter of Blackbeauty in the late 1970s.
Several of her close relatives were exported to Europe and are
behind some of the finest examples of Orientals today.
