Welcome to our website.

We are Doreen and Roger Dobson located in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire.

Our lives with our love of the pedigree Birmans started in 1987 whilst house hunting in Bristol. I became enchanted with the Birman at the time of viewing a house where there were these beautiful cats asleep on the bed.... We were lucky to have our offer accepted on the house and then our search began for a Birman to join us and our two moggies in our new home.

Our first Birman arrived, a blue point female, then a blue point male, shown as a neuter. His name was Gally who had a very successful show career;

Two years later our first Norwegian Forest Cat  arrived from the same breeder of our Birmans, from this day on we have been enamoured by this breed.

In 1998 we were the first cattery in the UK to breed the very first Grand titled Forest cat,awarded at the Somerset show 1998, then to our delight we gained the very first UK Grand title at the prestigious Supreme show in 1999. To say we are thrilled at this accolade is an understatement.

This cat is officially named;

UK GRAND PREMIER MAYSULA HELENYA - Maisie to all that know her.

 

Here we are twenty three years later , with each year getting better and more interesting. My love for the Forest Cat  and the Birman has never waned and today we breed the most beautiful cats  and life does not get much better this.

I take pride in the quality of my kittens, with the Norwegian, we breed to promote the original qualities of this naturally evolved cat to retain the bone structure, good coat quality, health and beautiful temperaments.

Enjoy your viewing of our website and please contact us if you are interested in knowing more about these two very special breeds of cat.

Saturday 17th November 2009 - Cheshire Area Cat Club Show

Maysula Andalusite, after gaining First and Best of Breed in his open class. went on to achieve Best  Semi Longhair Kitten and if we were not thrilled enough he went on to attain Best in Show Overall.

We are thrilled for his achievements.

Thank you to all the judges who placed him.

 

Both Roger and I had been brought up with dogs as family pets when we were children, so it seemed natural for us to have one of our own to grow up with our own children. We owned our first Labrador when Paul and Zoe were babies and Suzy was so lovely her breeder suggested we had a few litters from her. Paul was only 6 months old when Suzy came to live with us.

We had four beautiful litters from Suzy and the same stud -  stunning black dog. Suzy sadly was put to sleep at 15 years of age.

Our next lab arrived four years ago; she was born on Roger’s birthday which eased her introduction into our home. Voo is black, from mainly working lines and is a very strong tall legged bitch. She had her first litter in 2004. All nine pups survived and we kept a chocolate bitch named Peppa. We hope to have a couple of litters from Peppa in the future. We have recently had a new edition of a beautiful Black Labrador male named Finn who we are watching with interest. We envisage him being our stud in the near future.
