PrairieBoys
Our breeding males reside in a happy and comfortable surrounding, without pens and cages. They live in perfect harmony and are separated from our girls at all times- except for breeding purposes. We are extremely particular about the selection of our boys - always putting quality before quantity. See our Gentlemen suite linked under "Prairiebaby Facility".
"Blue Moose"
Registered Name: Prairiebaby Life's All About Jesus!
Sire: CH Navkatz Mr. BluGenes of Prairiebaby
Dam: CH Prairiebaby Praise to The Maker!
Breeder: Judith Schulz
Owner: Lori Swalwell
Color: Blue with Copper eyes
Note: Despite of Blue Moose's amazing quality, him being only F3, we sadly won't be able to show him in ACFA Championship! We are, however, looking forward to showing Blue Moose's offspring!
Temperament: Extremely affectionate, gentle and meek, great with other cats, makes hillarious trilling noises and has an incredible "vocabulary". His facial expression makes me just want to cuddle him all day! Very, very clown-like and dependant on human attention. Confident and social at home, cautious with new situations.
Size/weight: Will be large and muscular! His weight is around 15 pounds at 10 months. Excellent boning. Carries giant size from both sides! his adult weight is 22.5 pounds!! he is very active still and if he is neutered I am sure he would top around 25 pounds easy.

This boy is a gentleman and a true remnant! His sire "BluGenes" was kindly entrusted to us by Ted Kereluk (we are no affiliation with Blugene's orignal breeder!). The sire is basically only 6/7 generations away from the original foundation of the Maine Coon breed. People who have been breeding Maine Coons for many years know that something like this is almost impossible to find these days! Another great thing is that Blue Moose's Sire "Blugenes" was thankfully saved from the ultimate inbreeding practices we had wittnessed in the late 80s/ early 90s in Europe, done with offspring of the already fairly line bred, gorgeous paternal anchestors.

Blue Moose is an absolutely gorgeous young male, perfecting the look, structure and coat we had always strived for here at Prairiebaby. Atarah is his sister - him and her being two of 6 outstanding kittens from Mercedes and Blugenes. Bugenes did an incredible job here which we will be forever grateful for. We should mention here that Blue Moose's grandma is our Canadian foundation female "Canada Graceland" who REALLY has it in her to bring out the best in everything she touches. Oh, and of course our RW "Tigger" has left his *giant* paw print .. figures! And who would have thought - some of the "Franmar" (often high Tati-Tan, which makes them an almost instant gum/hip enhancer) stuff in there as well :-)
Outstanding type, coat and boning, especially when considering he is only F3 - third generation Maine Coon on his mom's side!
Blue Moose has an extremely low COI and a health testing history without loop holes. We feel very confident for him being a valuable and reliable asset to any breeding program.
