Our Queens -
 
Grand Champion Troika Eliana Pushkina (Eli)
 
Petnames Eli (pro nounced Ellie), Ellington, and Ellington Tugboat (don't know where that one came from - well I do but it's complicated)! 
 
Eli is another character - quite a crazy fun loving girl. She can still tear around the house like a 6 month old kitten and she is 2 years old. Although motherhood seems to have calmed her down a some what.
 
She is very intelligent often helping herself to new toys from the stash in the spare bedroom.
 
She loves going to shows, she likes to pose in her pen, lapping up all the attention and the treats she gets while she is there.
 
Eli achieved Grand Champion status in autumn 2011, after returning to the show bench after her second litter of kittens.
 
Eli has progressed further and now has 3 Imperial GCCS from 3 straight shows, so she just needs 2 more to become an Imperial Grand Champion. She has also won BOB and BOV as an adult.
 
Eli is really affectionate and loves being a Mum well for the first 6 weeks, then she wants more. We will let her have some more kittens later in the year. So far she has had 2 litters 
 
Eli was bred by our good friend Clare Bandy of Troika Russian Blues. Eli's parents have produced many titled cats - and obviously Eli is following on in their paw steps.
 
Thank you Clare for letting us have our special girl - she has done us proud with her first  and second litters of kittens and we now have a special Koreshka girl in little Roksi. Watch the show bench space as 3 of Eli's kitten will be on the show bench this year in addition to our own Roksi.
 
  
 
Champion Koreshka Roksana Rusina (Roksi)

Petnames -  Roksi, Roks, Rokstable, Rokstar, Roksi lady,little Roks.
 
Roksi is one of our first Koreshka kittens for a few years, we took a break due to illness but we have been back showing and breeding for a while now and enjoying it immensely. We were hoping Roksi would do well on the show bench for us and she has done just that so far.She loves it too, which we are thrilled about and lazes around in our arms showing off to passers by, that she has the most important trait of the breed a fantastic temperament.  
 
She was rather scrumptious as a baby as you can see below
 
 
the judges seem to think so too, as she has got 1st and Best of Breed in all but 2 of her kittens shows, where she has been placed 2nd. She has also had 2 Best Foriegn kitten awards and a Best in Show foreign exhibit also. Not a bad start to her show career. 
 
Since May 2011, Roksi has entered  shows as an Adult, she became a Champion on 18th June 2011, not a bad achievement in just 4 shows and at the tender age of 11 months. In the following show, although she couldn't enter the next catergory as she only became a champion after the closing date - Roksi impressed again by getting first in all her classes, the challenge certificate, best of breed and then went on to get Best of Foreign Variety adult.
 
Roksi has been pursuing her next title and currently has 4 reserve grand certificates and a BOB from four shows with big classes and in her last show she achieved a Grand Challenge certificate and BOB over her Mum - sorry Eli.
 
At one of her shows, Roksi had her picture taken by Robert Fox of Photo Paws, this was part of her prize for winning top overal Royal Canin Foreign Exhibit for Feb 2011, this is in conjunction with the Cat Planet website.

Roksi is a nice mix of her parents and grandparents. She has a lovely thick plushy coat, huge ears with fabulous tufts and the most pretty face, she gets more gorgeous by the day.

 
She has inherited her dads laid back approach and nice short head but has her mothers pretty face, silky coat and fabulous whisker pads. She has some of each of her parents manorisms, it is spooky to watch sometimes.
 
Roksi likes to lie on you while you watch TV, she loves her food especially fish, She is at the age where she NEEDS kittens so we hope she will give us the next generation of Koreshka's after she visits her handsome partner soon.

 

 

 

Our baby girl - Troika Eva Petrova ( Eva).


 Petnames Eva P, EP and Pea.

 

Little Eva P joined us in August 2011 another girl from Eli's breeder.

 

She is full of beans and very much still a kitten in her behaviour. She loves a cuddle though and sits with us on an evening purring away. She has fabulous green eyes and a wonderful coat. We are hoping she continues to blossom into another Troika beauty of the future.

 

Thank you Clare for another special girl who we have waited quite sometime for, Nici will be pleased when he gets together with his new lady friend maybe later in the year.
