Then	Now

Hi, I'm Lynn Jacobs. I thank you for visiting my site and I'd really welcome your comments in my guestbook.  This site is primarily focused at fellow persian breeders, but if you are interested in a pet, please feel free to send me an email, I'll be happy to help you find the kitten that you are looking for, whether it's in my cattery or not!

In the above photos, THEN, I lived in Manhattan Beach, CA (Los Angeles suburb), but I've NOW  lived in Seattle, WA for 2 years.  NOW, I specialize in bicolors, but as the above pictures indicate, I have a past...

THEN, I initially registered my CFA cattery in 1983 and actively bred persians, primarily cameos, until 1988. During that period, I bred several Grand Champions, had three National Color Wins, and, a female of my breeding, CH Couronne Ingénue was the dam of the only cameo to ever make a national win in CFA, (GRC NW Sheirkahn Temptation of Nufurs) . The "magic" breeding that produced Ingénue and most of my grands was GRC RW Currle Cats Finesse of Couronne bred to GRC Midas Status of Couronne, the only  cameo grands that either cattery produced, and both national best of color winners. The cat pictured with me in the upper left is another product of this breeding, GRC RW Couronne's Rhett Butler.

NOW, having reentered the Cat Fancy, I am focusing on bicolors and solids. Having made all the mistakes that I ever wanted to make the first time around, I purchased several bicolors, a couple of solids and a smoke from top catteries around the United States.  With one exception, every cat I purchased was sold as a "top show" cat.   In keeping my cattery fairly small, I plan to keep cats of ever-improving quality or that are phenomenal producers.

My foundation males, this time around, are  GRC Candirand's Sweet Escapes of Couronne  and GRC RW Artemis Ted E. Bear of Couronne.   At this point, my cattery also includes cats from Agonistes, Artemis [2], Barmont [2],  Harwood [2],  Joleigh,  Spellbound,  Sunny Ridge, GrandDelight, Budmar,  Wattkatz, and  Windborne.

Since re-entering the fancy in 1998, I have granded six cats.  Four  kittens of my breeding have been very consistent kitten winners, each having made at least one Best AB Kitten and the large majority of finals.  The only other  kitten placed in a show home  has also consistently made finals.   With a grand total of 13 kittens last year, I feel very lucky to have five doing so well at the shows!

If you are interested to know more about my cats and my cattery, or are interested in a kitten, please feel free to Contact Me.

I hope you enjoy visiting my site and like my cats.  I really welcome your comments. I'd really appreciate it if you would sign my Guestbook and let me know what you think of my cats and my site!
