I have 22 years breeding experience purely in Birmans. I had my first seal point Birman male 30 years ago and I was hooked! I waited until my boys were 5 and at school before I looked for my first female Birman queen and started my Birman empire. Thanks to the Mandessa line my lilac girl became Grand Champion and it went on from there. My four Birmans live in the house but have access to my enclosed garden (weather permitting) I have one breeding queen who has kittens once a year. All my kittens are raised in the house with tons of care and attention. I kept a blue girl from my litter last year. At only five months she had a red card day at her first show in Manchester and also won best semi longhair kitten. I have many people come back to me for another kitten which speaks volumes. They have such loving fantastic temperaments and I could never imagine my life without one.
