We have no knowledge of who owned this cattery, but Sagabob was registered with TICA and feature in the 2012 list of cattery names (May have appeared in earlier releases but cannot gain access to this information). I also noticed that they showed a cat in Finland in 2012. So it is likely that they were scandi based cattery or hopped across the border from Russia. As this cattery did show Pixiebobs under its own prefix in 2012, and therefore actively breeding (even if it was fleeting). They have been included for completeness.
“Blackcreekbobis had some diverse lines and a huge program. She started out in Mississippi; her first inquiry into the breed started with a phone call to Carol Brewer as she saw the breed advertised in magazines and wanted to breed Pixiebobs. She ended up instead working with Maranda Hull, but also bought many cats from PixiePaw, PkPixies, WaterfordGs, NWheritage, Babybobs, to name but a few.In 2005's hurricane Katrina wreaked HAVOC on her home in Mississippi, causing floods, surges and wiping out half of her program. Because flooding destroyed her house and cattery and drowned half of her program. What she could salvage was salvaged, and other breeders helped step up to house her cats until she completely relocated to Oklahoma near her mentor, and then best friend Maranda Hull running a breeding collaboration.”
Thanks to Richard Koons for this insight and explanation as to why the program shrank in 2005.
This handsome fella was the FIRST SGRC Pixiebob longhair in breed history and he was also the centerfold for the Cat Fancy magazine on Pixiebobs back in 1998. A handsome example of the old northwestern cats born in the 1990's.
If anyone has the dam information for this cat please make contact.
