We will be taking a break from breeding for 12-18 months from March 2012We have been breeding Birmans since 1994. We live on an acreage block in Tallai in the beautiful Gold Coast hinterland. We specialize in the stunning Tabby Point Birmans and have recently started breeding Silver Tabby and Smoke Points.Our love of Birmans began in 1990 when we purchased our first two pets. After we moved to Canberra in 1994, we joined the Birman Cat Club of Canberra and obtained our foundation queen Majik Fascination from Alison Stringer and Liz Robinson after falling in love with the Tabby Points. Initially we bred under the prefix of Kachin before moving to Queensland and discovering this was a long established Burmese prefix. Consequently, in 1997 we applied for and were granted the Sunsoar prefix. Due to our mobile life style we have bred in Townsville and Wellington (NZ) and in Canberra before we retired to the Gold Coast in December 2005. We have concentrated on tabby points and have achieved supreme exhibit status with Bronze DGC Majik Fascination (Cairns), Bronze DGC Kachin Meiglan (Canberra), Sapphire DGC Sunsoar Sapphire Rose (Birman Cat Club of New Zealand) and (Birman Cat Club of Canberra), CH Sunsoar Athena Rose (Supreme Exhibit 2004 Birman Cat Club of Canberra Specialist Show) and Sunsoar Brindabella (Supreme Birman Exhibit 2004 Sacred Cat of Burma Fanciers Association) and ACF AoE Ruby DGC Sunsoar Galahad (Best Group 1 Exhibit Capital Cats Dec 2005 Show all three Rings). More recently ACF AoE Bronze Platinum DGC Sunsoar Roxanne, Galahad's daughter, achieved the distinction of Supreme Longhair exhibit at the Gold Coast Cat Club show in February 2008 at her very first show and was judged best Birman kitten in the specialty ring at the Birman Cat Fanciers of Qld 2008 show. Galahad's son, Platinum DGC Sarikamajik Byron Boy was Supreme Birman Exhibit at the 2009 Birman Cat Club of Canberra Specialty show and highest points scoring kitten at the Birman Cat Fanciers of Qld 2009 show. Thanks to Liz Robinson for allowing me to have this lovely boy to carry on Galahad's lines with the added benefit of an outcross. Roxanne's daughter, Gd Ch Sunsoar Unchained Melody, achieved numerous excellent results in 2010 including Supreme Birman Exhibit and Supreme Longhair Exhibit at the Birman Cat Fanciers of Qld show. In 2007 Sandy Steward and Pauline Van Der Hoorn allowed us to bring home Fancypawz Snow Girl (Seal Silver Tabby Point), the first silver Birman in Australia. We look forward to working with Sandy and Pauline to widen the gene pool of these beautiful new colours. We are hoping that her new kittens will carry on our silver breeding programme. Our first Sunsoar silver tabby on the show bench, Ch Sunsoar Snow Ariki also achieved Best in Show awards in his first year on the bench despite marginal feet markings. His suberb type impressed judges and he will contribue greatly to my plans to breed these beautifully coloured cats. Over the years we have worked with many breeders to improve our lines and produce beautiful birmans. We breed for type and temperament, recognising that most of our kittens will find homes as family pets. However, we have been fortunate enough to be able to send breeding cats to The Netherlands and Norway. If you are interested in ordering a cat for showing, breeding or as a pet please visit our 'Contact Us' page and send us your details. Here at Sunsoar, we are happy to be one of Gold Coast City Council's first holders of an approved breeder permit. Jenny & Greg
