In past years we regularly exhibited our Rottweiler dogs at Open and Championship Shows throughout Scotland and England. In 2003 we began showing our Bengal cats and our success proved a very encouraging start to a hobby we now thoroughly enjoy. Our Bengal boy “Lubo” became the first Bengal cat to achieve the title of Champion in Scotland and our other Bengal boy became the second male Bengal Champion in Scotland. It was our success in showing our Bengal cats that started us off into showing our Ragdoll cats.
CHAMPION VONVARDA BARBIE GIRL
First shown in 2004 and within four months she had taken three Best of Breed and three Challenge Certificates giving her the title of Champion Vonvarda Barbie Girl. “Barbie” was awarded The British Ragdoll Cat Club Best Overall Female Bi-Colour Ragdoll of 2004. Since then she has only been shown once in 2006 and gained her first Grand Champion Certificate.
GRAND CHAMPION VONVARDA CRYSTAL
“Crystal” is a daughter to “Barbie”. By the age of 15 months she had gained three Challenge Certificates giving her the title of Champion Vonvarda Crystal. In 2006 “Crystal” gained her fourth Challenge Certificate and a Grand Champion Certificate. “Crystal” now has nine Challenge Certificates and three Grand Champion Certificates giving her the title of Grand Champion.
CHAMPION VONVARDA MASSIMO
At his first show “Massimo” (younger brother to “Crystal” ) took Best of Breed in the Kitten section and Best of Variety (semi-long haired) Kitten. In July 2006 at 10 months old he gained Best of Breed in Adult and his first Challenge Certificate. He repeated this success in August 2006, in October 2006 and in December 2006, by which time he had become Champion Vonvarda Massimo.
