Bred for quality. Raised with love. Shown with pride

FurryDance breeding philosophy

We have been breeding Cornish Rex exclusively since 1988. We breed with health and temperament foremost in mind to produce strong, stable and loving kitten. Teri has been a Veterinary Technician since 1971, and we feel that this experience helps make us more informed, knowledgeable and conscientious breeders

We screen our breeding cats annually for heart soundness, and they all get annual wellness exams and lab work, including tests for contagious diseases and internal parasites. We do not give our own vaccinations, but prefer for our veterinarian to see them for physical and vaccinations when needed.

FurryDance breeding cats

Angelwaves Undeniably Sentimental "Sammy" (above) has a very lithe and muscular body and has kept his coat well into maturity, both traits that make him an excellent choice for a sire. He is a little reserved with strangers, but that also enables him to accept his confinement as a stud male without much stress or complaint. He gets along well with the other neutered males in the house, so he is lucky to be able to have companions to keep him happy and content. He is respectful of the females and is not too aggressive when breeding, another nice attribute for a stud male.

FurryDance Gweek "Kiki" (below) is a tortoiseshell with a thick, wavy coat. Her mother Dolly was a dilute calico and her father Taddy a red tabby.  While a little stockier than some Cornish Rex, she is well-balanced and was successful in the show ring until she matured and decided being handled by judges was not to her liking. So, we let her "retire" from showing and she has been a wonderful mother to her kittens and a sweet companion for us.

FurryDance Colours Cove "Coco" (below) is a brown patched tabby, and her greyhound style and striking coloration are her strong points. Her mother Kely was also and brown patched tabby and her father was also Taddy , a red tabby. While Kiki is more moderate in type, Coco is very racy looking. She too has been in the show ring, but began losing coat when she started coming in to heat, so we decided to let her try being a mommy.

Coco turned out to be a devoted mother. But now her coat has come back in nicely, so we make take her out to show again in between her motherly duties.

Kiki and Coco, both of whom were born at Furry Dance Cattery, are excellent examples of the breed. They have been ultrasounded HCM free, as has our stud male, Sammy, and we are proud for them to be part of our breeding program. Kiki and Coco have the same fathers, but different mothers, so they give us the "look" we like and the wonderful temperaments of their parents. 

Dolly, Kely and Taddy, Kiki and Coco's parents, have been spayed/neutered now, and are living the lives of pampered pets in their new homes.
