Boberg Thalia Kiki is a blue point girl born 07:10 Saturday 7th January 2006 weighing 110 grammes. Her middle name is in honour of her maternal Grandmother who was a lovely lilac girl, sadly now over Rainbow Bridge. Thalia Kiki has a good pedigree with a fair smattering of champions.
Kiki spent three days on honeymoon with Pickles, a Cinnamon Oriental. Her first pregnancy lasted 69 days and she carried five babies who were born just after midnight on Friday 31st August 2007. Unfortunately, three of her babies were stillborn and one of the babies died aged only three days.
Her surviving son, Joe, is doing well so far and may already have a home to go to if all goes well. Being a first time mum, Kiki started off being a bit of an airhead and it was good that her mother, Suki, was there to guide her.
It is my belief that on this occasion the mating was not successful. The breeder to whom I took Kiki thought it may have been too close a mating, however, this is still debateable.
For the time being, I shall make sure Kiki and her son do well, let Kiki have a few months rest and then, when her hormones are back to normal, may try her with another stud, perhaps in the spring next year.
