A Triumphant End to the Show Year at Valkyrie Maine Coons!
As the 2023 show season draws to a close, we at Valkyrie Maine Coons are thrilled to share the highlights from our finale at the Independent show in Durbanville on December 2, 2023. It was not just a competition, but a grand celebration of the Maine Coon breed's splendor and grace.
In the spotlight was our star, Kit Ch & SA Triple Gr Ch Valkyrie Always Dreaming, who has now been crowned as a SA Supreme Champion! His performance was nothing short of spectacular, earning 3x EX1 and a prestigious 5th place in the AICA Adult ring under the discerning eye of judge Daniel Germishuys. But it wasn’t just his titles that made us proud. Always Dreaming received glowing reports from every judge, with unanimous praise for his striking masculinity and superb physical condition. The judges, including two from Gauteng, were particularly impressed by his lean, muscular build, noting how he doesn’t have an inch of fat on him. They even expressed a wish for the cats in Gauteng to emulate his lean physique - a testament to Always Dreaming’s exemplary fitness and breed standards.
Our show also marked a delightful comeback for our "Golden Oldies", SA Gr Ch & Pr Valkyrie Illy (10 years old) and SA Gr Pr Valkyrie Calypso (13 years old). Coming out of retirement to participate in a semi-longhair exam, they both were awarded 3x EX1. The judges were especially impressed by their excellent condition for their ages, making us incredibly proud of these graceful seniors.
As we look forward to the 2024 show year, we are filled with excitement and hope for continued success and joy. Our Maine Coons have once again proven their exceptional qualities, and we can't wait to showcase more of their achievements in the upcoming year.
Stay connected with us for more updates and tales from the enchanting world of Valkyrie Maine Coons. Here's to a fun-filled and successful new show year!
