I am honoured to have been accepted in 2008 as the first Australian breeder member of MCBFA - the Maine Coon Breeders and Fanciers Association based in the USA.

Jerry Lee has been a fabulous addition to Cooncerto with his great boning and sweet nature. He has a fantastic almost carefree coat in a  beautiful shade of red silver. 

I plan to allow Jerry Lee to retire later this year and I will be looking for a home where he can be an only cat or if the timing is right, I would like to retire him in partnership with one of our girls with whom he is particularly friendly.

Jerry Lee is normal (N/N) for the MyBP-C3 Gene

Jerry Lee's heart was ultrasounded by Dr Brad Gavaghan on 7 January 2009, and he received a clear result! :)

He has a great family history of heart health and his heart will be ultrasound tested throughout his life.

Jerry Lee's hips are fair. His girls have excellent hip conformation.

Most of these photos were taken in my cat-safe courtyard between between December 2008 and January 2009 

 

Cooncerto I Sing Just Like Dylan 

Finding a perfect stud cat is quite a difficult thing.  They must be sweet natured both with people and with their girls, easy to groom and of course make kittens with exceptional temperaments! I also like to show my boys and since showing involves quite a lot of traveling, a boy has to travel well and have great show style :)  There are a lot of other requirements like health and conformity to standard to name a few. 

That is a lot to ask of any cat - but I think Dylan is pretty comfortable with his role so far. And he is doing pretty well at our shows too along with his neutered brothers Flynn and Quoddy.

 

Dylans latest show success - Best in Show Longhair Kittens at the PERTH NATIONAL SHOW on 13 June 2010!!!

Dylan handled the show and the air-travel that goes with a big national show like a pro! 

His brother Cooncerto Ironpaws Passamaquoddy was Reserve in Show Longhair Kittens in two rings also

Dylan is normal (N/N) for the MyBP-C3 Gene

He has a great family history of heart health and his heart will be ultrasound tested by a veterinary cardiologist when he is old enough. Dylan's grandfather is TICA Ch VelvetJewels Theoden (imp USA) , his grandmother is Rumford Like a Dream (imp USA), and his mother is Bronze Double Grand Champion Cooncerto Golly Miss Molly (Daffi).

All COONCERTO breeding cats are negative to the MyBPC3 gene.

And in addition, breeding cats and retired ancestors are regularly ultrasounded and certified free of congenital HEART disease by Veterinary Cardiologist Dr Brad Gavaghan.  

Their KIDNEYS are ultra sounded and certified clear of PKD and they are x-rayed to ensure HIP CONFORMATION is within the acceptable breed average.

Certificates are published on this website because you need to know and because I am passionate about breeding healthy Maine Coons!

My dream boy

 

 

It was a in one way a very easy decision to allow this boy to retire - he LOVES being a neuter and I love having him underfoot in the house. But also it was a very hard decision to make because this boy has been my dream stud. He has the most wonderful type - beautiful face and lovely square muzzle with great lynx tips. He has a long strongly muscled body and long tail to match. And even more important to me, he has an absolutely wonderful temperament and a great history of heart health. His Grandson Cooncerto I Sing Just Like Dylan will hopefully carry on these wonderful attributes. 

I hope you will join me in wishing him enjoyment of a long happy healthy retirement!

Theoden has a beautiful heart :-)    His heart has been ultrasound tested by Dr Brad Gavighan (Veterinary Cardiologist) four times and he has been certified clear on each of those occasions.      His most recent clear result was 7 January 2009!

Theoden is negative for PKD

Théoden's father Coonyham Gold Rush has 8 clear heart tests behind him, and this family history helps me build up a clearer picture of heart health in this boy.
