Front Range Awards
Front Range Abyssinians & Somalis has been the home of national, regional, and breed winning Abyssinians & Somalis over our 28 years. Our primary goals are to breed healthy, well-adjusted, happy kittens and cats, that represent the breed standard. Our show accomplishments include CFA's First Fawn Somali to achieve the Breed Win, CFA's First Ruddy Somali female to achieve the Breed Win, CFA's First Somali kitten to achieve a National Win, CFA's First Somali to achieve 2 National Wins, CFA's First Blue Somali female kitten to achieve a Regional Win, CFA's First Fawn Somali female to achieve the title of Grand Champion, and the first CFA dilute (blue) Abyssinian female to become a single litter DM with all dilute offspring. Our cattery has produced / shown 3 Somali Breed Winners, 3 Second Best of Breed Somalis, and 1 Third Best of Breed Somali. Our cattery has produced 5 Distinguished Merit award cats (DM's) - two blue female Somalis, one a ruddy female Somali, one male Somali, and one blue female Abyssinian. We have produced 1 two time National Winner (NW), 19 Regional Winners (RW), and 53 Grands - including 15 dilute Somali grands, and 17 Abyssinian grands. |
