Historic Reference Photo - Finegold Monty

Bred by the 2 Michaels a Finegold cattery, Monty moved to Britbobs a TICA registered cattery.  They tried to move him on at around 3.5yo with a blind eye for around £500.  I have no idea where this cat ended up, but it wasn’t a TICA registered program.  He may have even went as a pet.  The pictures below are him around 2yo.

Who’s who - Birchbark - Gloria Brennan (aka Christensen)

Active in 2016, but unsure when they started breeding but they got their first PB in 2013 from Coloradopixies and showed this cat.  Based in Indiana, USA Birchbank bred Pixiebobs alongside a Bengal program.  There appears to be no pixiebob posts after 2016, so this is an approximate date of cessation.  Possibly related to the death of her husband in Dec 2016 (but that’s unconfirmed). If you have any additional information, please make contact.

Historic Document - Pixie-Bob accepted in CCA (Canadian Cat Association)

 Transcript

In 1998, Tracey Semchison of Natureworks Cattery in Ontario brought the breed to Canada. FogForest Pixie-Bobs was founded in 1998 as the second Canadian breeder working with the original Pacific Northwest lines and Blue List cats. Largely through the work of Tracey, the Pixie-Bob was accepted as a New Breed and Colour by CCA in 1999. However, because there are just a handful of breeders of Pixie-Bobs in Canada, it has been very difficult for the CCA judges to determine whether they were familiar enough with the breed to judge this cat in Championship.

Please note:

The Pixie-Bob was accepted for Championship in CCA in Summer 2001.



Historic Document - The Pixie-Bob.org website Creation and it’s modern reincarnation

This website no longer appears in its early form as shown in the banner below nor is its conversatory site.  It was reincarnated in the 2020s into a new look,  as a breed informational website about the breed standards, registered breeders at that time, as well as some FAQs.  This may or may not transform again in future years.  Therefore for completeness I will add any versions of Pixie-Bob.org here in chronological order.

Transcript

Through the dedication and sacrifice of the F.T.L.O.P Board, this native breed was first recognised as a New Breed and Colour by TICA in 1995. It was accepted into the Native Breed category in the Brown Tabby Division. The Pixie-Bob first became eligible for Championship status through TICA in May 1998. The breed’s Founding Board founded the International Pixie-Bob Conservancy website to explain its programmes and to promote understanding of the breed.

The original banner and info of why and when it was created.

The version of this website as in 2020s, now looks like this, below.

Historic Reference Photo - FogForest ‘s Rocket Richard

FogForests Rocket Richard looks as if it went as a pet and not into any program.  But nevertheless it serves as a snap shot of what the cattery was producing at the time, and therefore great for phenotype researching.



Historic Reference Photo - FogForest ‘s Dudley DoRight

This image was supplied by one of the main contributors to the service.  Funnily enough it reminded me of some Fogforest records I already had in my own archives I’d collected, I had recently come across that had been forgotten.  I’m wondering if there are any more out there that may have been saved.  Another Fogforest cat that moved to Strangecats as a breeder.





Historic Reference Photo - FogForest ‘s Anne Shirley

Another image I had completely forgotten about in my archives I’d collected some 18 years ago, that I came across Ed and had to load so it wasn’t forgotten again. FogForests Anne Shirley. As indicated in the write up FogForests Anne Shirley went to Strangecats in USA, but she was born in Canada at Fogforest cattery.

Historic Reference Photo - FogForest ‘s Pooh Bear

Came across a few Fogforest photos, (in my collected photos some 18 years ago) that I’d completely forgotten I had. So loading them to ensure they don’t get forgotten a second time.

Historic Reference Photo - Natureworks Sitka of FogForest

I came across this gem of a photo when I was hunting for a completely different cat.  It’s a great feeling when you happen across pictures you forgot you even collected from 18 years ago.  If anyone has any additional information, please make contact.


Who’s who - KopperKats - Diane Brias

This cattery was based on run by Diane and she was based in Quebec, Canada.  They had no registered prefix with TICA as of 2012, so it’s likely they were CCA or ran their program without a prefix.  There is documentation that were breeding and had kittens due in 2002.  If you do have any additional information, such as when they started or ceased their breeding program, please make contact.

Historic Reference Photo - NWheritage Saskatoon

Unsure of the exact spelling of this female either NWHeritage Sascatoon or NWHeritage Saskatoon. But she was daughter of O1T Josta Cat (& awaiting details of sire) residing at PWPixiebobs covered by Bodhi before she arrived.  Her kept son was PWPixiebobs Sabu.  I will update this cat’s record with pedigree info as soon as I have received it.
