My name is  Wendy Hackles.  I live in the North East of England with my husband Carl,

our 4 children and our 2  Grandsons. 

We are the proud owners of The Beautiful Norwegian Forest Cat.We have also have a dog,( a Rhodesian Ridgeback ) and have had the occasional Guide Dog Puppy boarding with us.
I have always had pets, even as a child.   We already had a domestic shorthair, Willow, but we decided that we'd like a pedigree cat too.        After months of finding out information, ringing breeders and looking on the internet, we fell in love with  the Norwegian Forest Cats.                 In 2004 we got our 1st ever pedigree cat.   We wanted to see what it would be like at a show with her. We enjoyed it so much                                  and were bitten by the  bug, as they say, that we decided we'd like more than one pedigree. 
 We decided, after showing for a few years, to get our first breeding Queen. In July 2007  we had our first litter of  kittens .
We breed as a hobby, and our Queens will only have one litter a year, although it's usually every 2 years.
Our aim is to breed healthy, happy kittens with good temperament and to the Norwegian Forest breed standard. 
Our cats are part of our family and do not go outside unless supervised in our back yard. It is cat proofed to minimize anyone trying to escape and to stop other cats getting in.
We go to quite a few  shows, but sadly some are too far for us to attend.  We go as a family, for an enjoyable day out and  if our cats do well,  that is a bonus for us.  Our children can be seen helping at the shows and taking our cats to be judged.                                                                               We have made some very wonderful friends along the way too.
We are members  of "The Aristocats Cat Club" and "The Norwegian Forest Cat Club" We show at FIFe  shows, which we really enjoy.
