Here is one of the
“Golden Greats” belonging to our Patron, Pam Collins,
Grand Champion Addeilo Romany Tassle (13c1).
His sire: Snoshu Cabala Shaman, his dam: Jewelleigh Fiara and he was born on
the 29th of April 1992. “Tassle” is an excellent example of a
Birman with his strong, broad and rounded skull, his almost round eyes of deep
blue, his well spaced ears and his excellent substance and boning. Just one
pure white glove is on show – the Birman characteristic hallmark!
His wonderful type and
expression made Tassle very successful on the showbench where he won 11 CC’s,
4 GR CC’s and 1 RGR CC. He also won Best in Show Semi-Longhair at the
National Cat Club Show in 1998. His Breeder was Dawn Hall.
He has proved his quality as a stud too, siring 13 titled cats including
Grand Champion Admonlo Sebastian who was the club’s Best Seal Point Exhibit of
the 2002 show season.
