UK GRAND CHAMPION LYNXELOT GERONIMO |
|
Geronimo
is now retired.
We
can never say thankyou enough to Georgina for
the privilage of having this boy. He is very
special and there will never be another just
like him. Gerry became unhappy and his happiness
comes first, therefore he was neutered. A very
hard descision for us.
He
had a wonderful show career, and is one of the
very few blues who have been so successful in
the show world.
Our
thanks to our two breeder judges, Daphne &
Phillipa, for all your wonderful words over
the years for him.
Thankyou
Gerry for all you did for us, you are one special
lad. Happy retirement !

Gerry
is a blue classic tabby and was born in January 2001.
He
came to us from Georgina Drummond of Lynxelot Maine
Coon cats in Somerset. At the time we found Georgina,
we were looking for a brown tabby with white to join
our silver stud boy Yosemite Sam.
There
were just no brown tabbies to be found, so we decided
to go for a blue instead, and went to collect this huge
heavy boned youngster that had grown so much in the
few weeks since we had seen him.
Little
did we know what lay in store for this wee boy....
Gerry
went on to win Overall best in show at the Long Hair
& Semi Long hair show at 8 months of age, his second
show, how proud we were to carry this huge box of trophies
home with us that day, not expecting it at all, indeed
we missed seeing his win as we had gone to visit family
and got back to the show too late to see it !
Gerry
went from strength to strength, winning his first Challenge
certificate at the Supreme show 2001 against a class
of super cats. We give our thanks to the late Mr Dessauer
for that special win.
We
were also very proud that he won the 'Best Maine Coon'
award there, presented to us by the Dutch Maine Coon
Club.
He
followed this with two more shows, two CC's and became
a Champion at 11 months of age.
Gerry
went on to become a Grand Champion, winning many CC's
and Best of breed awards.
Along
the way we also showed him in 3 Fife shows, where he
gained his FIFE CHAMPION title too.
In
2003 Gerry won his first UK Grand Champion certificate
in a class of super boys, this certificate can only
be won at this prestigious show, and 2 certificates
are needed to claim the title.
Gerry
does not attend many shows now, but just for fun we
took him to the Maine Coon cat club show in June 2004.
Entered were 150 Maine Coons, and Gerry made us so proud
when he was nominated and won
OVERALL
BEST IN SHOW ADULT
