3. OUR OTHER SOLID COLOURS
Denis had already started a breeding base in 1959
in the same colour group. His prefix is Ithaca.
Blacks came later. Again, the Lavendels became part of the partnership.
Reds and Tortoiseshells mostly only occurred once the Colourpoints (Himalayans) began breeding
under the Sublime prefix with Rod, and jointly conducted with Denis.
Joanne began breeding Himalayans under her Preview prefix about 1990
and now concentrates on the solid colours.
She is part owner of the Sublime prefix.
These days, dense and dilute tend to be interbred (due to a loss of some key stock,
though we are trying to breed up a line of dilute-only cats. Whites are commonly bred with
our other solid colours, Blue-creams and Torties.
We have no tabbies or patched cats. Our Himalayans are not part of our solid programme,
so our Persian pedigrees are relatively pure.
