Who are we?

Martin (who is British), Jacqui (who is Irish), and our kids Jenna & Luke and we live in SW France approximately an hour from Bordeaux with our dogs, 2 crazy parrots, and our beautiful Persian Himalayan & Sphynx cats . Our daughter Jenna is now living in Paris and we miss her - but it is only 2 hours by train!

I had been successfully showing and breeding Yorkshire Terriers & Chinese Cresteds for many years under the kennel name of "du Domaine du Président" when I spent a weekend at the big dog show "Animalia" in Lausanne Switzerland. In the next building was a wonderful cat show - and this is where I first saw and fell in love with a stunning Himalayan Persian.

After a couple of years researching the breed I finally made my decision to get my first Himmie "Vienspresdemoi de la Renouée" - and my adventure began!
A year later my friend Jana Klima of Magic Carpet Sphynx sent little "Baby" over from Austria to start our Sphynx breeding programme.

We are a small cattery by choice, believing that quality and not quantity is what really counts in a breeding program. We breed for health, structure and type. . . beauty that truly is more than skin deep.
I rarely have kittens available, but when I do part with a baby, they remain part of my family even when they no longer live here with us.

Our cats live with us as a family - and cats, dogs & parrots all get on!!!

All our Persians are tested PKD negative at Gribbles and our Sphynx are annually dopplered for HCM.

Our cattery is registere with LOOF as "Glory Be's" and with the CFA as "Glory Beez"
