On August 19, 2006 "Rudy" became our first homebred Grand Champion!!. Rudy has always been a joy to show since his first show at 4 months old.  He was a slow bloomer until 6 months old when he began showing up the other females and males up against him.  Rudy is a moderate Russian Blue male with a very plush russian coat, nice body style and great big green eyes as the standard calls for.  Rudy made many Best Kittens while showing in kitten class and has earned already many Best Cats since showing as a grand champion.  His best show so far was the recent Stars and Stripes Show in Humble, Texas where he was Best Cat in Show earning 4 Best Cat rosettes.  This guy is better than we hoped for and we really look forward to producing many babies with his great temperment.  Rudy has retired from showing and earned his regional winner title as Valnika had hoped for. He is 4th best of breed currently nationally. Rudy just went for the stars so to speak. Rudy will just enjoy his new position as lead breeder now, making the girls of Valnika happy Mothers.

Breezer is a result of a first breeding with Kisa and Rudy.  He has even a sweeter personality than his parents and was a looker from the day he was born.  Breezer enjoyed showing as a kitten and getting in many top 10 finals.  It wasn't though until he entered championship in CFA that he took real notice.  In just 2 shows, Breezer earned his grand champion title, completing it in Mesquite, TX at the Ozark Cat Fanciers show Jan. 26-27.  Breezer has also competed in TICA and has done very well in kitten class...taking home many BEST Kitten awards.  He will be competing in February now for his Supreme Grand Champion title and a possible regional award.  He is a real gem to add to our breeding program.  He will be replacing Rudy in the near future.

HERE ARE THE VALNIKA GIRLS...

CH Valnika Blue Topaz

 

Sire: CH Samovar Tripod of Grisaille
Dam: Grisaille's Zara of Valnika

Birthdate:  March 15, 2005

Topaz is the result of Zara's first breeding.  She resembles her mom a great deal with added features which made her very competive in CFA shows.  Topaz was shown for 5 months and earned many rosettes placing anywhere from 9th to 3rd best kitten.

 

Topaz is a very sweet girl, loves to rub her owner's faces and loves constant petting.  She is very playful and sure to produce very nice looking kittens.  Topaz has had 2 wonderful litters producing sweet babies.

Princess joined Valnika in May 2006 from Mark and Kay Janosik of Kaybrook's Russian Blues in Minnesota.  It was indeed a wonderful surprise being offered this wonderful lady to join our breeding program.  Its a coincidence we should have two Kisa's in our cattery, a lovely russian name meaning "kitty".  Princess earned her Regional Winner title in the Midwest Region in a very short time frame as a kitten.  She soon went on to show in Championship in April and earned her Grand Champion title prior to the end of the show season.  She is very friendly and sweet and deserves to be "princess" in this cattery.  She will be breeding her first litter early fall this year.  We will be looking foward to many litters of show cats to carry on her awesome looks and good name.

Thank You Kay for this wonderful girl.

"Sveta" is the second keeper from Nomah. She has a very plush, velvety coat and pale color of blue. She is our new show hopeful for the 2007-2008 CFA show season. She will be shown very soon in May for the first time. She has a sweet personality that Valnika looks for in their new show potentials. She is very active and aggressive and fearless on her feet...she loves racing the other kittens for preferred treatment and loves laser light races. She has made up her mind that she will earn the title of Queen Diva in Valnika's Cattery. Sveta was the perfect show queen in both CFA and TICA.  She has earned her CFA Grand Champion title January 2008 after many shows.  She got 129 grand points in our local show, Houston Cat Club January 5-6, 2008 competing with 60 other champions.... Wow !!  Sveta has also competed in TICA and earned many Best Kitten Awards.  She earned her Supreme Grand Champion title in December 2007 at the Corpus Christi, TX Feline International Showcase.  Sveta is now retiring from showing and enjoying her home.  She will welcome her first litter sometime in 2008.  Way to go Sveta!!
