Since our earlier days of showing and breeding Russians, we have been most pleased with the success of our male Keehotay Hanif Silvasko, acquired from Avis Rosten in early 2004. Over the last four years, Silvasko has achieved the title of Sapphire Double Grand Champion in Queensland, as well as Australian Cat Federation Award of Excellence (Bronze level). His most outstanding achievement was being awarded the Best Shorthair Cat of the Year 2005, by Queensland Independent Cat Council. Silvasko has also been awarded: Reserve Best Shorthair Cat of the Year 2005 (Metropolitan) and Best Russian in 2005, by Queensland Feline Association; Supreme Shorthair Exhibit at the Burmese Cat Society of Queensland show in Brisbane, May 2005; Best Russian of the Year 2005, by the Feline Control Council of Queensland; Best Russian of the Year 2005, by the Council of Federated Cat Clubs of Queensland; and Best Russian of the Year 2006, by the Queensland Feline Association.
Continuing on the success of Silvasko is his daughter Uki Silver Stardust. Dusty commenced her show career as a young kitten and was awarded Overall Best Group 3 exhibit by Judge Geoffrey Dumigan at the NSW CFA North Coast Agricultural Society Show in October 2007. Queensland Feline Association awarded Dusty the Best of Breed (Russian) Award for 2008. Dusty is now a Queensland Feline Association Double Grand Champion and has also achieved Champion status with NSW Cat Fanciers Association Inc.
In 2009 we again were awarded Queensland Feline Association's award for Best of Breed (Russian) for our young stud Uki Raine.
