Blue-Gem Siamese
- Thai Breeding Philosophy...
We have 20 years of
successful experience breeding in the dog and cat
fancy. My experience
as a dog handler & trainer - TDI (Therapy
Dog International), obedience handler, breeder, exhibitor
for dogs and cats, dog rescue coordinator, veterinary
medical assistant. Owner of
Your Critter Sitter
and Blue-Gem
Ragdolls. All these experience have given me a unique
background and perspective
on breeding.
We have been breeding and
showing Mastiffs under the kennel name of
Ironclad Mastiffs for 20
years. We are breeders of the record breaking Mastiff
multiple Best in Show - National Specialty winning,
Ch.Ironclads Ironhill Ivana; who broke
all the records for the Mastiff breed in 2003. Ivana is
the top winning Mastiff bitch in the history of the
breed. We have also bred multiple Best in Shows; Best in
Specialty Show winning Mastiffs. This includes multiple
Westminster Dog Show Best of Breeds.
We are the recipients of the 2008
Orthopedic Foundation Animals
Champion Award. We are specially proud of this award
from the time, years, and dedication it took; to not
only breed a beautiful animal that broke all the records
for the breed, but that also produced five star health
tested National winning and multiple Best in Show, Best
in Specialty Show winning offspring.
We began breeding Siamese in early 1990. Currently we
are enjoying showing and exhibiting our Siamese in the
cat fancy with the goals of producing sound well
balanced healthy cats. Coming from a background of
breeding working dogs, balance, form and function has
always been my mainstay in my breeding program. This
philosophy holds true for our cats as well.
Our Motto:
Breeding Siamese for type, temperament and soundness...
We are
focusing primarily on preserving and improving the
health of Siamese bloodlines. We are carefully
researching to find lines that are pure, sound, and
healthy; and work towards breeding to ensure vigor and
health. We do not believe in breeding to any extremes.
Our goal
is never to see how many kittens we can produce or how
many champions we can have our name on, but to produce a
sound well-balanced healthy cat. It's always been our
goal!
 About Siamese Cats....
Siamese Appearance...
The Siamese is a elegant
yet medium to large size cat
with robust muscular build -
moderately long in the body
- modified wedge, resembling the indigenous
pointed cats of Thailand.
The
Siamese is a well balanced cat
without any extremes, in
harmony in appearance -
character.
Siamese coat..
Siamese have
very short close lying coat
and require little care
other than the a light
brushing every so often.
Siamese Health...
Siamese cats generally enjoy
good health and are not
susceptible to illness. They
are known for their
longevity (15-20 years or
longer).
Siamese Temperament...
Siamese cats are a breed
that enjoys being with
people. They can easily win
your affection through their
irresistible grace, silly
antics and devotion.
Other traits that the
Siamese lovers of this breed
especially appreciate
include their high
intelligence and
friendliness, as well as the
ease with which they learn
new things. They love
children and are very
sociable. They like living
in a pack, and they enjoy
the company of other cats
and pets. Siamese cats are
VOCAL and CHATTY. they love
to be clinging to their
humans. If you do not like a
vocal social cat - you
should not
own a Siamese! It would not
be fair, or humane to the
cat.
Siamese cats are known to be
dog like in behavior. They
can easily be trained to
fetch a ball or toy or other
tricks.
Our Siamese Cats what we breed...
We breed a modified wedge
Siamese, or sometimes called Traditional Siamese or
Thai cat. We also breed more modern show style
Siamese as well. Our cats are CFA, TICA or CFF
registered.
The Thai
cat represents the early 20th-century Siamese and can
still be found in Thailand catteries today (in Thailand this
cat is called Wichien-Maat).
The
preferred Thai (Siamese) cat is 100%
imported from Thailand and has a
pedigree establishing origination from
Siam or bloodlines that are not commonly
found in the Western Siamese pedigrees.
The primary features of the Thai are
that it is a moderately built cat, has a
registered pedigree or imported
documentation, has no domestic short
hair ancestors, and does not carry the
long-hair gene.
The premise of the Thai
cat is to help preserve the old look,
yet provide a future that focuses on
healthy diversified lines that
genetically maintain the pointed gene and the authenticity and
personality of this Old-Style Siamese.
Our goal is to preserve these bloodlines
and preserve the health and type as
there were when first imported into the
western hemisphere over 100 years ago.
Here at
Blue-Gem we have a very unique breeding
program working with some of the rarest
imported Siamese bloodlines. Our Siamese
lines include resent imported Thai
(Siamese) Wichien-Maat blood from
Thailand. We also are working with
imported lines from the Netherlands's and
other European lines. We also are
combing these new lines with some very
old CFA American Old Style Siamese
pedigrees. Our Goal with our Old
Style Siamese is to find diverse pure
Siamese bloodlines that are total
outcrosses to the small group of Siamese
that were first imported into the United
States at the beginning of the turn of
the century. The majority of all Siamese
found in America today can be
traced back to these handful of cats.
