South Paw Winter Wonderland of Gemkin

My beautiful Winton who we owe so much to our white breeding, sadly taken from us at a young age. We will meet again one day my beautiful boy.

He leaves us with his legacy, Gemkin Starspangle, Gemkin Amadeus, Gemkin Gabrielle, Gemkin Intuition, Gemkin Manhattan Nights and Gemkin Winter Blizzard.

Sharamka Guessworkusa (Rolly) was a character from the minute we brought him home from London at Sharamka Persians. He very quickly made himself at home and this seems to be a trait in his kittens, they all seem to quickly adapt and have always had his loving personality. He was the most amazing boy and we will always miss him. He leaves behind his legacy of Best in Show winners Best in variety winners and many Best kitten in show winners, just to mention a few of his progeny, these are:-

Grand Champion Red Savannah

Grand Champion Gemkin Invincible

Champion and Grand Premier Gemkin Jazzy Jasper
who has won Overall Best in Show and Best Neuter awards.

Gemkin Sandstorm
(his wonderful son who will be our future stud)
Best kitten in show and 1CC

(Orange-eyed White LH - 2a)

Our beautiful big boy, son of the magnificent South Paw Winter Wonderland. "Spangle" is the image of his father "Winton" and has made us very proud over the years. He has HUGE boning with his weight averaging between 14 and 16lbs of pure lean muscle. He carries an enormous "south paw" coat which he passes on to his progeny. We will always be thankful to "Judy Brocato" for allowing us to have our two beautiful "south paw" whites as they have stamped the "Gemkin" look we so wanted in our whites. They also have huge personalities and have the most gentlest of temperaments. Spangle is now semi-retired.

Savannah (Savi) remains unbeaten in all her Open classes. She has been nominated many times for Best In Show and has also had many red card days.

A very worthy Grand Champion having gained four Grands to date! Many thanks to Michael and Clare who are totally devoted to her with such a love that shows through so strongly.

Gemkin USBelleOfTheBall (Bella) has had many beautiful write ups, one of which was given by Jean Hepburn and she quoted Bella as being,

"Well grown baby. Excellent head with neat, well set ears, bold orange eyes, short broad muzzle and snub nose, full cheeks and firm chin with excellent bite. Cobby girl with bright clear patching on a spotless white approximately 50% white, beautifully presented."

Gemkin Winter Blizzard (Bliss) was Best Kitten In Show winner.

Gemkin EmbraceMySoul (Solo) is a most stunning red and white bi colour male. He has the deepest of eye colours already well established coupled with superb type and huge boning.
He has the most placid of dispositions and is already well on his way to having a very successful and exciting show career, having taken best of variety longhaired kitten at the Gwynedd cat show at the tender age of 4 and a half months!

'Best Persian Kitten In Show'
at his debutante show!

North West Championship Show - September 2009
Our little baby boy "Sandy" is the son of our beautiful "sharmaka guessworkusa" who we very sadly lost this year :(. He is the image of his father and is now expecting his first family. He has the largest eyes of all our boys and has the most gentlest of dispositions at home, but gets a little upset in shows with other boys around him, we hope to bring him back out on the bench very soon, as he is such a handsome boy.

Gemkin Amadeus has gained two CC's to date.

Nyklani My Souls Desire (Suki) is a gorgeous dilute calico bred from Champion USValentino and Gemkin Carousel.

Her most stunning feature is her length and wealth of coat and her exquisite van patterned markings. She has the most beautiful head type, very pretty and appealing with a good bite.

Now a Champion Suki is going to try and raise a family before pursuing her career further, hopefully she will pass on her attributes to her offspring

Sadly Suki lost her fight with cancer in 2009.

Gemkin Miss Molly

Blue-Cream female (13) (pictured at thirteen weeks)

Shown only once, Molly won her open class. Molly has inherited her mother's wonderful deep copper eye colour, she has the most sweetest of natures and carries a huge coat. Molly is now living with Elaine & Des of Temptation Persians.
Good luck with her future breeding career.

Gemkin Eyesonme

odd-eyed white (2b)

Shown only twice as a kitten, winning both her open classes and Best of Breed, and twice as an adult gaining two CC's and two BOB. This girl has the most stunning length to her coat, and is at presently being shown, and has not yet had her first birthday :) Icy was a Champion and has won 4 CC's and BOB's to date. Icy is now a very proud and beautiful Grand Champion.

Varanese Regazza Christiani

Blue-Cream female (13)

The most amazing blue-cream girl. She has the most amazing type and the deepest of copper eye colour, her kittens have the most wonderful balanced type. Christi is a very shy girl, whilst loving our company at home, would hate the noise and events of the cat shows.

(Orange-eyed White LH - 2a)
This stunning boy had a wonderful show history before coming to us, making Best In Show twice, european champion. Sunny then went on to become a Grand Champion in the UK. He has sired us some amazing babies, his babies and his grand babies have gone on to become champion, grand champions and now an Imperial. He has complimented our white lines with more "south paw" in his breeding and has his own unique "Iwanda" look which we simply adore. Joke has put so much quality into her breeding, such expertise and loving care, for which we as persian breeders will be eternally grateful for.

Many thanks to Wendy of Vivaldi Persians and Anika of Admirables persians for allowing Nemo to come and live with us. He has wonderful type and is a very sweet and gentle boy, with a wonderful pedigree.

Gemkin Trilogy

blue tortie & white (12 2)

Very exciting and the youngest of our girls being only 5 months old. Tilly has been shown once to date and was unbeaten gaining a "red card day" and BOB and then going on to win BEST PERSIAN KITTEN in show at the Central Longhair and semi longhair championship show ! Tilly was shown once more as a kitten and again won her Open Class and BOB. She has now retired from showing.
