We will be taking a break from breeding until next year, 2012, for human health reasons. Life throws a curve ball every now and then.
Thank you for your patience, and know there is a difference between being unable to respond to emails and being unwilling.

If you have interest in our continued health screening, contact me for information. If you have progeny of Maxx you may have copies of all health screening.
Maxx went in for his yearly exam and dental cleaning. Bloodwork excellent, teeth healthy, tissue as it should be. As Maxx is older now, this is extremely important. Your cat's dental health is very important, just as human dental health is important in over-all health and immune. As your cat grows older, this is vitally important. Preventative dental care at home is paramount. Many products can be found as water additives and tooth/gum gels. Make no mistake about your cat's mouth. It might change his life!
Carbon is now living in Wausau with Jim and Deb. He is loving his home, I can see by his photos. Happy Boy! ...as it should be.
We will be regrouping our breed program.
August 2010  Young Adults, dad and grandpa Echos are picture perfect and clear of HCM. Echos are listed on individual pages for your reference Most of our cats have the large maine coon heart. This is not to be confused with an enlarged heart. Maine coons have a normal variance seen within the heart muscle. Some cats may grow to become 20 plus pounds. He will need a heart to support his body! Please be sure to educate yourself with respect to this fact, and also ask your veterinarian to become educated as well if you are owned by a maine coon. Many maine coons are misdiagnosed due to lack of knowlege by attending medical people. I personally have brought kittens back to my home with their parents, in order to have our trusted cardiologist examine them after receiving an alarming diagnosis that proved to be incorrect. We cannot be expected to know everything, but we can choose to educate ourselves, and ascertain that our choice of medical people will do the same. As an advocate for all creatures, especially the maine coon I heartily thank you for taking this seriously.
