Crystal Pond's Delilah
CH. Oililly Montero
of Crystal Pond ( Grand Pointed )
X
CH. Polcann Gypsy
Queen of Crystal Pond ( Grand Pointed )
Delilah is built like a Sherman tank.
She is as big as her father, head and all, and he's a big boy.
A very cobby and massive female who inherited her sire's
large boning and hugely plumed tail and her Dam's boxy body.
She also has her Sire's great eye color, huge poppy
eyes and small ears with good spread.
She has a nice, large, round head with a very sweet, open face.
She also has the wonderful, open nostrils I strive for in
my program - I like my Persians to be able to breathe.

I
adopted Gypsy ( Diddy-Do ) as " Breeder / possible Show " quality. I loved her rich color, temperment and
her funny personality. She is like a little child with her antics. She has such cobbiness, every judge
comments on her boxy body.
For such a cobby girl,
she births surprisingly well.
She and my Montero produce really nice quality kittens,
as you can see with Delilah above. I've never had a pet quality kitten out of her and every one of them had huge eyes and
very functional noses with large nostrils - no wheezy noses.
It has also been
a welcome surprise to see Gypsy's quality has matured to the point of earning her Grand points making her breeders and
myself very happy.
Below - Older picture I had of Gypsy in "winter coat" at my old cottage
on the lake. She was trying to take a nap, but of course I had to get a picture ;-)
