Stud
Abyrose Starlight Gazer (gen 2)
Pet Name: Monkey
Colour: Lilac (carries sorrel)
Sire: Asmara Electric Blue (Imp Aus)
Dam: Abyrose Star Dust (gen 1)
DOB: 17/10/09
Breeder: Jody Robinson-Wildey
Co-owned with Jody from Abyrose Abyssinians, Monkey is part of a special experimental breeding programme to introduce a new line of chocolate/lilac into the abyssinian gene pool. For more information on how this programme began, please visit Jody's website, or if you have any questions about the programme please contact either Jody or myself.
Monkey has a good strong chin and gentle profile. He has warm lilac colouring and apart from a few neck markings has no leg or tail barring. This is very good considering his Grandfather was an Ocicat.
Monkey has retired from breeding and went to his new pet home on 18 July. We are expecting kittens from him and Chanti in September.
