It can be a nightmare showing queens here under GCCF, and as a result very few breeding females get beyond Champion regardless of how good quality they are - there's no points system for gaining titles, it's awarded by a series of certificates, usually 1 per show (although certificate can be withheld) and each has to be awarded by a different judge, so the "one show grand" I hear mentioned at TCS is impossible. It can take 2 or 3 seasons for a queen to grand, cramming in shows (at a maximum of 1 every 2 weeks, according to the rules) when she's in peak condition between litters. I don't know how anyone manages it, and it's not unusual in the UK to see pedigrees where only the males have won titles.
One of the main reasons I pushed Bulan so hard was exactly that...she granded at 9.5 months old. She'd already had her first heat by then, so I needed her granded and fast. Her last show was the big KL November '07 8 rings where she only managed 6 finals. She was mated exactly 4 days after that!

So what sex is the 3rd one?
I find it a lot easier to show males vs females - doesn't matter if the girls are spayed or not. I've had a lot more success with the boys
Don't hold your breath but I may just post something similar in a few months!Originally Posted by urbantigers
Oh they are adorableLook forward to hearing about their progress (and seeing lots of pics of course!). Nothing cuter than baby Abys (except perhaps baby Somalis)
