All of Luisa's kittens run after me and give hugs and kisses.  They are awesome with kids and love other pets. They climb on shoulders and have a very much a dog-like character, which means they can be "offensively" affectionate :-)"</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <U>Breding Strategie:</U></div> <bR> <div> Here is a bit of history to understand our breeding practice better. Coral's grandmother Eternity  (Kumskaka Eternal Mission) is a beautiful part foundation female with high foundation content (60 %). We bred Eternity with a male from very old pedigreed lines (Tati-Tan Silhouette). Modern show lines were avoided to keep the Clones and HH content low with this breeding. The result was Brock (Ambassador of Grace), our F5 male. Brock was bred to Luisa (Cover Me I Will Sing), an almost full foundation (Maine/Canadian) female from different lines, in order to increase the outcross value again. As a result, we went back to F4, maintained a 60 % foundation content (like we had in Eternity) and at the same time added completley unrelated genes.  Coral has almost <U>double</U> the foundation content as her father Brock. Since we brought in so much new foundation again, she would be compared best with her grandmother Eternity, who is similar in generation and foundation content. We were able to improve color, ear size, coat, size and body length.  Our plans are to breed in  a more Maine Coon shaped head and longer legs. </div> <bR> <div> Here is a picture of  Coral's brother: </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="bda1bbb0.jpg" border=0 width="283" height="187" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Nagendrill </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id70.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Bunnypuppy"><U>Bunnypuppy</U></A> is also Coral's brother.</div> <bR> <div>  <A HREF="id133.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="BALLET"><U>Ballet </U></A>is Coral's daughter.
