Sires
MinusDeTails Northern Exposure, "PJ"

International Winner, Supreme Grand Champion
13th Best International Cat (TICA)

Dam: MinusDeTails X's and O's
DOB: 05/28/02
"PJ" comes to us courtesy of Kay, Terry and Harley DeVilbiss of MinusDeTails cattery in Texas. The nickname PJ was given to Northern Exposure as a kitten from Kay and Terry since he closely resembles his grand father, Down Pat. PJ stands for "Pat Jr". PJ is a black and white, long hair, rumpy Manx. He is our only stud following the loss of our foundation male CH. Briar-Brae My Black Sambo in March 2006 and the neutering of our dock male from our first litter, Karello Tony The Terrible, a few months later.
PJ is registered with The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) and The International Cat Association (TICA) cat registries. He has achieved many titles in both associations. Both his parents have achieved the titles of International Winner and Supreme Grand Champion in TICA. PJ is currently taking some well deserved time off from showing but he's not seen the last of showing, yet.
PJ began siring litters for Karello Cattery in January of 2006. His kittens have his fantastic boning, size and darling personality. Those who have gone into new homes are cherished, beloved companions. PJ produced three show cats his first year. One of the three, "Cookie", has earned the titles of Grand Champion and 2nd Best of Breed, nationally. Another, Mr. Chaps aka "cowboy" has earned the title of Grand Premier February 2008. PJ's show quality kittens can be seen on our "Our Stars" page.

Grand Champion (CFA)
International Winner, Supreme Grand Champion
7th Best International Cat (TICA)
 
Sire: CH Kabelkim Coober Pedy of Faerietail
Dam: Faerietail Andromeda
DOB: 1/22/04
"Dougal" (pronounced Doo'gl)has been made available as stud courtesy of his owner's Phyllis and Trisha Durdy of Faerietail and HappyEndings Catteries. He resides in Washington state which means his females must tolorate flying well. Dougal is a silver (tarnished) classic tabby, rumpy, short hair, Manx. Karello's Aurora Borealis was flown to Washington and bred by Dougal in March 2007. On May 30th, 2007 she delivered her first litter which consisted of six beautiful kittens by Dougal. Four rumpies and two tailed kittens! Two of the kittens co-bred and co-owned with Phyllis Durdy are Karello's Miss America, a tortoiseshell and white, long hair female and Karello's Cindy Crawford, a tortoiseshell smoke and white, long hair female. They are both currently being shown.
Dougal was TICA's North West Region's 7th Best Kitten, 6th Best Cat, and 2nd Best Shorthair Cat in 2004-2005 and North West Region's Best Cat in 2005-2006!! He tried his hand at showing May of 2007 and has decided he likes staying at home better, now.
Dougal and his offspring will be registered with The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) and are also eligable to be registered with The International Cat Association (TICA) cat registries.
A big "Thank you!" goes out to Phyllis and Trisha for sharing their wonderful Manx gentleman with our girls and family.
