DGC Aksum Tiny Dancer

Chocolate female
Born February 24, 2009

Dancer is a second generation queen in our TICA chocolate breeding program. Dancer's beautiful mother, Candy, was only the second chocolate Abyssinian to achieve the title of Quad Grand Champion and Regional Winner.

We hoped for a chocolate female in Candy's first litter of kittens who would have an exceptional personality and nice color and type, and we had it with this beautiful girl!

Dancer is outgoing and affectionate and purrs a lot. She is unafraid and curious about her world. Dancer also travels very well in cars even for long distances, which is quite helpful for a show cat. And of course, she loves to play!

Dancer had her show debut as a four month old kitten in Raleigh, NC at the Southeast Regional show July 11-12, 2009 and took home two finals ribbons, 5th Best Shorthair Kitten and 9th Best Allbreed Kitten.

At the same show, Dancer's beautiful mother Candy received her second Regional Award plaque and ribbon as 14th Best Allbreed Cat, 9th Best Shorthair Cat, Best Abyssinian, and Best Chocolate Abyssinian, all in the TICA Southeast Region. Candy is also TICA's International Best Chocolate Abyssinian.

Dancer had three litters of kittens, then was shown to get that one last ribbon so she could be a Grand Champion, and unexpectedly got two, so she is now a Double Grand Champion and is retired from showing in Champion class.

We bred Dancer with Alexy Temur Khan of Aksum. Temur Khan is a beautiful big chocolate Aby boy and made his show debut at the Southeast Regional show in July with Dancer. He is Linc's half brother (same sire). Dancer and Temur are both TICA Champions now. Their 3 kittens were born April 14, 2010. Dancer's second litter of two kittens with Linc as the sire were born September 22, 2010. Her third litter of kittens with Rocket (two again) was born May 11, 2011. Her fourth litter of kittens with VLane was born November 12, 2011 (one survived). Her fifth litter of two kittens with Leo was born March 4, 2012.

Sky is a Blue Torbie Aby. She is a beautiful example of this new sex-linked red color. Sky has a sweet personality and is very playful and affectionate.

Alexy Blue Cream Sky of Aksum

Blue torbie female
Born June 25, 2008

Sky is the second foundation queen in our sex-linked red breeding program, born June 25, 2008. As a blue torbie (also called blue cream tortie) with both blue and cream coat colors blended together, Sky's coat color is a dilute of the ruddy torbie. Rose, our cinnamon torbie, was the first Aksum sex-linked red queen.

We took Sky home from Alexy Abyssinians at three months old on October 2, 2008.

Sky was bred to Linc's half brother Temur and produced a sex-linked red boy and a sex-linked cream boy on June 21, 2010 who went together to a loving pet home.

Sky was bred to Rocket and had two rare sex-linked red male kittens on June 29, 2011 who went as pets.

Sky's third litter of kittens with VLane as sire was born November 22, 2011. She had a cream male and a cinnamon female, both going as pets.

She has been bred with our friend's stud boy Leo and is due April 19, 2012. Sky had three beautiful healthy kittens April 21, 2012. We think they are: ruddy girl, blue boy, and cinnamon boy. She will retire when they are weaned and go with at least one of her kittens, which is fitting. She always has loved her kittens so much!

Aksum Tequila Sunrise

Chocolate female
Born August 16, 2011

Sunrise is a rare chocolate queen who is taking her mother Moonlight's place in our TICA chocolate breeding program. Her beautiful lilac mother, Ch Alexy Moonlight Becomes You of Aksum, has been a huge asset to our chocolate breeding program and that of others in Europe (lilac is the dilute of chocolate). Her grandmother was the first lilac Abyssinian to achieve the Grand Champion title in TICA. Her mother Moonlight was the 2009 TICA International Best Lilac Abyssinian.

Sunrise is the fourth queen in our chocolate breeding program. Candy, her daughter Dancer, and Sunrise's mother Moonlight were the first three. Moonlight will be retired early in 2012 to live a well deserved life of luxury.

Sunrise is sweet natured cat who is very playful and active, and is constantly purring. Typical of Abys, she jumps and races around often, just for the fun of it! :-)

Cedarwood Soul Sister of Aksum

Ruddy Abyssinian female
Born October 2, 2011

Soul Sister is a very important part of our CFA breeding program. She is Rocket's half sister (same mother) from Cedarwood Abyssinians. We are really enjoying having her here and showing her!

We hope to have a son from Soul Sister and Jaxx to keep as our very own stud boy here. :-)

Soul Sister did well at her first shows as a kitten! Here are some pictures:
