S*Ardwyn Emily Bronte BRI a
Emily should have been part of my breeding program bringing in new blood to the genepool. She is a pretty young cat with a wonderful soft blue colour though her eyecolour could be darker.
Emily is from my first litter after mating GB*Misskin Lilac Mitten in England with GB*Adtresh Bewicke Bandit just before leaving for Sweden as Lilly called while I was on holiday in Devon visiting my first GCCF show.
Unfortunately when Bandit was tested, due to the PKD-panic in Sweden at the time, he was diagnosed positive and was immediately removed from breeding and neutered. As a follow-up Bandit's mother was also PKD tested and had it badly so she was also neutered. Bandit's line is terminated apart from two PKD-negative offsprings now living in Western Sweden, S*Ardwyn Jane Austin and S*Ardwyn Samuel Beckett are both PKD-negative after re-testing.
Emily was tested PKD-postive in August 2004 at the Animal Hospital in Skara with 10 Mhz when she was 11 weeks old and re-tested at the Animal Hospital Strömsholm in October 2005 where once again she was PKD-positive and all hopes of a mistake disappeared. She was neutered at the University Animal Hospital in Uppsala the following week and now lives her life as a happy early pensioner together with her sister Molly and all my other cats. I'm too fond of her to let her go.
