This page is a collage of pictures representing the naturally raised Persians of Crystal Pond.  I am very proud of my work with these animals.

  It is a blend of my early years up to now - and I still have a good number of wonderful photos to add.                       Some of these seem so ancient to me now.  I love browsing these photos and remembering the moments they were taken.  It is amazing how much you change and the knowledge and experience you amass over the years as a breeder. 

 I look forward to the shows as I am so limited with my 12 hour weekend overnight shift Friday through Sundays. I actually work 7 days a week and have for years.  Really cuts my show attendance down right now but I have to make a living - not all of us are born into money or have someone to rely on.  I am hoping to be able to drop the weekend job in the future when I get going more in Real Estate.  Then I will have the opportunity to show quite alot more often.

  I love going to the shows and meeting new people and seeing all the breeders and wonderful breeds.  It is alot of fun and a great way to network and meet new contacts.

  If you have never been to a show - log onto CFA's website at  http://www.cfainc.org and look to see when CFA shows are being held in your area.

  Also, check out PandEcats website at http://www.pandecats.com for a wealth of information on Persians and Exotics. It contains everything from showing to grooming to health. It is a wonderful , top notch online magazine and a valuable learning tool.  It is mainly conventional with regards to healthcare articles, which is opposite how I raise, but I still find it very useful.
