ABOUT ME

Hi welcome to Dixylan British Shorthairs. My name is Jeanette and I have been breeding British Shorthairs for the Past 16 Years, 7 years ago I purchased my first British Shorthair Colourpoint and fell in love immediately, I now breed British Blue, Lilac's-Chocolate's and occasionally I have Reds, Blacks and Tortie's in solid colours.

I also breed British Colourpointed in Lilac,Lilac-Cream,Blue, Choc & Choc Tortie's. This year 2005 I have introduced the Tabby Colourpointed I have a Lilac Tabby Boy and a Lilac Tabby Girl, and hope to produce some kittens next year.  I have held a registered Prefix with the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy for the past 8 years

Welcome to the home of Dixylan British shorthairs, the name Dixylan came from a street I once lived in, whilst trying to register a prefix with the GCCF, without much luck I glanced out of my window and saw the name of my street Dixie Lane, this was my last attempt after 16 failures, Dixylan has been made from this street name.  Dixie is an old english name for a large iron cooking pot which explains how a British should be large and round.!  I  found my present house after 6 years of looking for a village property that could satisfy my hobby of breeding and showing my cats.

I now share my home with my husband andy who also loves and adores the cats as much as I do, we have almost finished installing our new cattery for the girls, with his help I intend to improve my Colourpointed lines, and my new colours of Chocolate and Lilac solids.

 My girls take it in turn to come into the house for a week at a time! but they much prefer to be outside watching all the birds that we have in our garden. I hope you enjoy your visit to Dixylan British Shorthairs Web Site and  you find it of interest, I try to update my nursery page as often as time permits.

This is our dog Zena the princess Warrior who is now 7 years old, as you can see she is loved by all the cats, we nearly lost her this year as she is always stealing the cats toys, she had eaten a toy mouse which had lodged in her small intestine, 7 days in hospital she is now well again, however she still steals the cats toys !!

Meet Andy the 2nd love of my life dont tell!!  I said 2nd love. Andy loves cats which is a bonus as any hobby breeder will tell you, he has completed my new cattery for me and can be found most evenings covered with kittens they just seem to stick to him like a magnet.
