Cooncerto Gucci

Sire: Cooncerto Fhoenix Rising Dam: Ch Maestro Miss Floyd (imp NZ)  (born 10 Dec 2007)

Thanks to Fiona Cooper for the above photo

 

Gucci received clear heart results when ultrasounded by Dr Brad Gavaghan on 7 January 2009!

 Gucci's parents and grandparents have good hearts too - their most recent clear heart ultrasounds were performed by Dr Brad Gavaghan in 2009. Her grandfather VelvetJewels Theoden was tested in Jan 2009 and given a clean bill of health for his heart.  Her mother Maestro Miss Floyd was tested clear in August 2009.

Gucci's parents are both tested and free of PKD and as this is a dominant inherited disease, Gucci does not need to be tested.

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

and her hip conformation looks great!

Bronze Double Grand Champion Cooncerto Golly Miss Molly

Daffi will be taken to Dr Brad Gavaghan to have her heart tested in 2009. Her parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents have been tested both in Australia and in their countries of origin. Her father Theoden received his fourth clear heart ultrasound on 7 January 2009!

Both Daffi's parents are tested and free of PKD and as this is a dominant inherited disease, Gucci does not need to be tested.

and she has beautiful hips!

Daffi was the Best Maine Coon shown with CFCCQ in 2008! That's a great achievement for a girl who competes against the bigger and often flashier boys!

All COONCERTO breeding cats are negative to the MyBPC3 gene.

And in addition, breeding cats and retired ancestors are regularly ultrasounded for 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!

Esmerelda's father has a beautiful heart (last tested in January 2009)  I have many girls from the maternal line including Esmereldas grandmother, her aunt, her half sister, so we have a lot of health history on this line.
