Summer Cup Show Results

Caledonian Bracken got me my best result at a show for a rat that I've bred by getting 3rd in the Supreme Challenge. There was a large number of entries, probably the largest I've seen at a shown in the past couple of years, so that makes the result even better. It's likely that Summer Cup was her last show as I intend to mate her as soon as she comes into season, but hopefully her offspring shall be as good as her if not better.

Matings planned for late June

I intend to mate Caledonian Bracken with Hakuna Matata Tristran later this month. I expect there to be siamese and agouti kittens from this litter.

Also, Coastboat Constantine is going to father a litter for Coastboat Rattery in Portsmouth around a similar time.

If you are interested in kittens please email lois@caledonianrats.co.uk, it may be possible to pair kittens from both these litters.

About Me

My name is Lois and I have a small rattery based in Southampton, Hampshire, UK. My aim is to breed good tempered, healthy rats in Russian Blue Point Siamese, Seal Point Siamese and Black for both pet and show. I am a member of the NFRS, and tend to show my rats at NFRS shows in the south and south west. I am also a NFRS Show Secretary and a member of the NFRS Committee with the roles of Hon. Treasurer and Website and Forum Administrator. Caledonian Rats is not an NFRS stud name, but simply a name I used to identify the rats I breed. However, 'Caledonian Rattery' is an NFRS registered rattery and I hope to gain my stud name in the future.
