12/19/11 Woo hoo!
News comes to us from TICA that it is
now GC Woodpile Scarlett O'Hara of Missy. Scarlett is grand
champion #3 for her dam, RW SGC Woodpile Rumor Has It.
Scarlett is co-owned with our good friend, Newton Peter,
who is showing her to her titles. Thank you, Newton, for the
amazing job you have done with both Scarlett and Charlie
(RW SGC Woodpile Charlie Parker of Missy)!
11/22/11
Our beautiful Dancer has presented us
with a lovely litter of six beautiful kittens just in time for
Thanksgiving. We find ourselves with so very much for which to
be thankful!
We have had a successful show year, some lovely new babies, good
health, wonderful children, incredible friends, and for me, a new
job (and boss) that I love! And the end of the year will
find me in Rio de Janeiro visiting my good friends Newton and Cely!
Thank you all for being a part of my life!
10/31/11 We have just
heard from our good friend Newton Peter that RW SGC Woodpile Charlie
Parker of Missy was not only the Best of the Best cat at the Clube
Sul Americano do Gato show in Brazil this past weekend, but Charlie
also took Best Cat in all nine rings! This is an amazing feat
for any cat, and we are incredibly proud of Charlie and Newton's
accomplishments! Thank you Newton, for your incredible
friendship and for your excellent care and presentation of Charlie.
Together you make magic.
10/16/11 Home from the
Evergreen Cat Fanciers show we are very proud to announce that
Woodpile Percussion (aka Drummer) was 2nd Best Kitten in show!
Drummer dominated a class of very nice Maine Coon kittens, purring
and playing all the way.
In addition, our handsome little Scottish Fold, Owhl Chubby Chaser
of Woodpile (aka Chase), co-owned with Sally Patch, also brought
home a bunch of finals! Chase is a lot of fun to show, and
gets many comments on just how adorable he is! He's got his
own little fan club going too!
And not to be outdone, the beautiful Dancer, now
RW SGC Woodpile Flash Dance, picked up the few points she needed to
supreme. Only shown five times as an adult, we are thrilled to
have finished Dancer's titles so easily, taking her to shows only in
our own region. Go Dancer!
9/30/11 September was a great
month at Woodpile Maine Coons! The beginning of the month
brought not only the TICA Annual and the additions of Sketch and
Chase, but Suade and Tucker's litter of six little coonlets!
The end of the month has brought us five more babies in Jazz and
Alex's beautiful litter! We are very excited about both of
these litters and happy that they appear to be healthy and strong.
9/11/11 At the
Clube Sul Americano Do Gato show in Brasil
our beautiful Scarlett took home no less than nine finals and was
the best Maine Coon kitten in show! Beautifully presented by
co-owner Newton Peter, Scarlet will remain with him throughout her
show career. Thank you Newton, for taking such good care
of our girl, and presenting her so well!
9/5/11 Just
back from the Annual where we picked up two new additions to our
family. Welcome to Owhl Chubby Chaser of Woodpile, a handsome
little Scottish Fold Longhair, entrusted to us by his breeder, Sally
Patch. At just barely 4 months of age, Chase took the breed in
six rings and even garnered a final. Quite an accomplishment
for such a young kitten in extremely stiff competition! Thanks,
Sally, for this handsome little guy! Pictures coming soon!
The other most welcome addition to our home is
Madawaska's Graffiti of Woodpile (pending TICA approval)
aka Sketch, who has traveled all the way from France to join us.
Sketch is a beautiful brown classic tabby Maine Coon, entrusted to
us by our good friend Bruno Chedozeau!
Many, many thanks to Bruno for this gorgeous young fellow,
and thanks also to Steven Corneille for bringing him to us!
We couldn't be happier with him!
Watch for both of these boys at Northwest shows this fall.
8/28/11
Woo hoo! At her
very first show, the Felis
Catus Club, in Canoas
City,
Woodpile Scarlett O'Hara of Missy was
Best of the Best Kitten! Scarlett is out of our beautiful
RW SGC Woodpile Rumor Has It. Way to start your show
career Scarlett! Coongrats to co-owner Newton Peter, who
showed Scarlett to her prestigious wins!
8/15/11 Another wonderful Cat
Fanciers of BC show! RW QGC Woodpile Flash Dance received the
"Best Cat" she needed to supreme, though she is still lacking just a
few points. Her first show garnered Woodpile Torch Song,
Stefani's red & white kitten, a couple of nice finals against bigger
and older competition, and Woodpile Purrcussion aka Drummer now has
his own fan club, led by President Dana! Not quite old enough
to show, Drummer still had a wonderful time playing and getting all
that attention.
The awards ceremony was nice as well. Four Woodpile cats
received awards, including RW QGC Woodpile Flash Dance,
RW SGCA Woodpile Heart Strings, RW SGC Chemicoons Wild Fire of
Woodpile, and perhaps most importantly, our latest Outstanding Dam,
RW SGC Woodpile Calamity, bringing the number of our Outstanding
Dams to five!
7/27/11 Congratulations
to DGC Woodpile Duke, owned and beautifully presented by Sharon &
Jackson Roholt! Duke earned the honor of being the 2nd best
Maine Coon in the Mid-Pacific Region for the 2010-2011 show year.
We are very proud of Duke, Sharon, & Jackson and applaud their great
care and presentation of the handsome Duke!
6/26/11 What a
wonderful weekend we had at the Garden City show on Vancouver
Island. Our biggest news is that, with the granding of new GCA
Woodpile UpRoar, Rory earned her father, IW SGC Coonbitzky Frost
Fire of Woodpile, the title of
OUTSTANDING SIRE!
Rory is grand #10 for Frosty and grand #4 for her dam,
QGC Woodpile All That Jazz. Way to go Rory!
Along with Rory's accomplishments we are very proud that our lovely
Woodpile Flash Dance (also a Frosty daughter) is now a Quadruple
Grand Champion. Dancer earned a bunch of finals, including
four allbreed Best Cat awards!
Two other Frosty daughters co-bred by Woodpile, IW SGCA Macallans
Elllie and GCA Macallans Zoey also picked up a bunch of finals in
the alter class. Icing on the cake was that my good
friend Ann was along to share in our fun. Ann has reason to
celebrate as well as Frosty is the sire of her beautiful silver
torbie girl, RW SGCA Woodpile Flora Bloom!
6/21/11 News comes from
our friend Lynne Sherer that former RW SGC
Chemicoons Catalyst (now of Calicoon) has earned the title of
Outstanding Sire! We are very proud that half of Rowdy's
grands are Woodpile cats from his short time with us.
Congratulations to Rowdy, Lynne, and all of Rowdy's beautiful babies
on a tremendous accomplishment!
5/22/11 More kudos are
due after a wonderful weekend at the International Specialty Club's
show! Congratulations to new
GC Macallans Zoey, co-bred by Woodpile, bringing Frosty's grand
offspring to nine. And more to new Ch. Woodpile UpRoar
(another Frosty daughter) with three Best Alter awards as well.
After a short break we are happy to be back out there.
5/18/11 Although the
end of the show year standings are not yet official, we are proud to
announce this year's Woodpile bred and/or owned Regional and
International Winners. Congratulations to:
IW SGCA Macallans Ellie (co-bred by Woodpile)
RW SGC Woodpile Charlie Parker of Missy
RW SGC Woodpile Heart Strings
RW SGC Woodpile Kaleidoscope
RW DGC Woodpile Flash Dance of Smokeycoons
RW SGC Chemicoons Wild Fire of Woodpile
Also congratulations to our 2010-2011
Outstanding Dam,
OD SGC Woodpile Calamity.
2/28/11 The end of
February brought with it 7 little bundles of joy in the form of
Rumor's latest litter! Because they were born on our dear
friend Michele's birthday, we have decided to name them after some
very good friends. Unfortunately, to cover all of our friends
we would need several litters, so we hope no one will be offended if
they got left out this time around! Making it much more
difficult, we have more boys than girls.
2/10/11 Great news
comes to us from Peter & Eileen Carafiol that their TICA RW SGCA
Woodpile Heart Strings is now also a Grand Premier in CFA!
Congratulations to Tugger, and many many thanks to Peter & Eileen,
as well as to Fred & Elaine Weitz for making Tugger possible!
1/25/11
Exciting news - beautiful DGC Woodpile Flash
Dance of SmokeyCoons, now owned by Elaine & Fred Weitz, is the
centerfold picture for the February 2011 Cat Fancy Magazine.
This stunning photo of Dancer was taken by the
incomparable Helmi Flick, and we are so proud of it
that we just have to share it.
Thanks Helmi!
2010 Year End
2010 Ends on a happy note for the
Woodpile Clan, with several Regional Winners. Congratulations
and thanks to the following cats and their dedicated owners:
RW SGCA Woodpile Flora Bloom
RW SGCA Woodpile Heart Strings
RW SGC Woodpile Persuaded
RW SGC Woodpile The Legacy
RW SGC Woodpile Ready to Rumble of Betunes (2X)
RW SGCA Woodpile Ryan of Newcats
RW SGC Woodpile Kaleidoscope
11/7/10
We are absolutely thrilled to share that
Woodpile Ryan of Newcats took home 11 Best Alter awards
out of 12 rings (he got a 2nd Best Alter in the 12th ring)
his first show out as an alter! Ryan is an outstanding red
silver & white boy from our American Idols litter. We couldn't
be prouder of him! Way to go Ryan!
11/4/10
We are happy to announce that our long awaited
litter out of RW SGC Woodpile Persuaded and
IW SGC Coonbitzky Frost Fire of Woodpile has arrived!
Suade gave birth to seven healthy babies in the wee small hours,
attended by my wonderful husband (who prefers not to
do such things, but is a great stand in when I'm at work).
10/31/10
Congratulations to new TGC Macallans Luna on their fabulous show in
Reno! Luna is Grand Champion #8 for our Frosty, and we are
very excited that his babies are doing so well!
10/17/10 We are very
excited to announce that Frosty and Rumor have another grand
champion offspring! Congratulations to GC Woodpile Flash Dance
of SmokeyCoons, and her owners Fred & Elaine Weitz. Dancer had
a wonderful kitten career
and is doing well again as an adult, including best Maine Coon
at the Evergreen Cat Fanciers October show! Having passed
her heart and hip screenings we hope she will produce some
stunning babies at SmokeyCoons.
10/10/10 Hooray for
new DGCA Woodpile Duke, owned and beautifully presented by his
owners, Sharon & Jackson Roholt. Duke is grand #3 from QGC
Woodpile All That Jazz's first litter, and #11 for his sire, OS RW
SGC SmokeyCoons Alejandro. We are very proud of Duke, Sharon,
and Jackson and we hope they will continue their winning ways!
Also, congratulations to Laura & Gus Sanderson on their new SGCA
Macallans Ellie. Ellie is a beautiful brown torbie out of
GC Woodpile Roaring River of Macallans and our handsome
IW SGC Coonbitzky Frost Fire of Woodpile.
9/19/10 The Pacific NW
Outlaws Show was a good one for the Woodpile Maine Coons.
Tucker was once again the best Maine Coon in show, even wearing his
summer shorts. Baby Dancer (now Ch. Woodpile Flash Dance of
Smokeycoons) earned her Championship at the ripe old age of 8 months
and 2 days old as the youngest in the classes for owners Elaine &
Fred Weitz.
RW SGCA Woodpile Heart Strings continued his winning ways with
several finals, thanks to owners Peter & Eileen Carafiol.
And last but not least, our newest title winner is new
Ch. Woodpile Duke, loved and beautifully presented by his
owner, Sharon Roholt! Congratulations to all!
You make us proud.
9/12/10 Cats On The
Beach, Cape Cod. Dancer's last kitten show, and at her very
last ring and final as a kitten, she was Odette Lamoureux's, BEST AB
KITTEN! Many thanks to Elaine Weitz who showed her so
beautifully, and to all the judges who recognized that a nice girl
CAN compete with the boys!
Go Dancer Go!
9/6/10 Back from an
excellent trip to the Annual. Woodpile Flash Dance of
SmokeyCoons did great, with several breed placements and a 5th Best
AB Kitten from Fate Mays! Not bad considering two of the three
top kittens in show were Maine Coons! We are very proud of
Dancer.
8/24/10 News from our friend
Newton (SA) comes that It is now SGC Woodpile Charlie Parker of
Missy after only two shows! Not only was Charlie the best
Maine Coon at the show, but he was also the Best Cat!
(Complete with trophies we are told). We are very proud of
handsome young Charlie, and wish him (and Newton) much future
success! Pictured below with
TICA Judge of the Year, Alberto Leal!
8/17/10 We are back
from our annual pilgrimage to Washington State University with great
news! Our beautiful Maines are heart healthy and happy, echoed
by Dr. Kate Meurs, board certified veterinary cardiologist.
8/16/10 Back from the
Cat Fanciers of BC show where the Woodpile cats did well! Our
beautiful silver torbie & white Woodpile Flash Dance was the 2nd
best kitten in show! And while we are thrilled with Dancer's
(aka Hot Lips) show results, we are equally proud to announce that
she is the latest girl to join the cats of SmokeyCoons. We
hope Elaine and Fred will get many beautiful babies from her!
Young Tucker also did well, ending up third best cat in show, and
bringing home 3 more Best Cats. Given the heat in the building
(it was HOT) we were delighted that he would still play by the end
of Sunday's judging. Of course, he slept all the way home.
And then there is little (just 4 months old) Woodpile Maserati of
SmokeyCoons. He picked up several finals at his very first
show, and absolutely loved it. He thought those judges were
put on earth to entertain HIM! Maserati is hoping to
grow up and take the place of his daddy, RW SGC SmokeyCoons
Alejandro as the main stud at SmokeyCoons. A stunning red
classic tabby & white, Maserati has a beautiful head, nice clean
profile, tons of coat, a gorgeous pattern, fabulous boning and good
size. And still his loving playful attitude is the best part
of all. He purrs when you walk by him. We can't wait to
see him at a year!
6/30/10 & 7/6/10 We
have had a minor population explosion with the arrival of Lacey's
litter of 5 on June 30th, followed by Jazz's litter of 5 six days
later. Mamas and babies are doing great! And we have
lots of silvers!
7/11/10 Off to
the Wisconsin-Illinois Cat Fanciers show this weekend, little Hot
Lips came home from another show as Best Kitten. This gives
her 3 out of 4 shows where she has been honored as Best Kitten.
Needless to say we are very proud of our first silver torbie & white
baby.
6/27/10 Another
weekend and more wonderful results. Hot Lips picked up even
more Best Kitten awards at the Garden City show in beautiful Sidney
by the Sea. And not to be outdone, Tucker picked up 5 Best Cat
awards of his own. He is lacking only a few points for his
Supreme Grand Champion title. Not bad for a youngster who has
only been to three adult shows.
6/14/10 Absolutely
unbelieveable! That's how we feel after taking little Flash
Dance (aka Hot Lips) to her second show at four months of age and
coming away with her SECOND consecutive Best Kitten in show!
And she did it with no less
than 10 Best Kitten awards, both AB (4) and SP (6). I
guess we'll be keeping her after all. :-)
We were also thrilled that RW SGCA Woodpile Heart Strings (Peter &
Eileen Carafiol) came away from the same show as
2nd Best Alter in show! Not bad for such a young boy in
some stiff compeitition. And not to be outdone, Tugger's
little half sister, Woodpile Tiger Lily, also owned and
shown by the Carafiols, became a one show grand by picking
up 7 finals at the show! Go Lily!
Thanks to Commencement Cat Club for making this a dream weekend, and
for being so kind to a first time entry clerk.
And special thanks to my good friend Ann Lervold, who was there to
help and offer moral support. You're the best!
5/30/10
It's official! The new TICA year-end
standings are out. Woodpile Maine Coons would like to
congratulate the following Woodpile cats and their owners for a job
well done:
RW SGCA Woodpile Flora Bloom
RW SGCA Woodpile Heart Strings
RW SGC Woodpile Ready to Rumble of Betunes
RW QGC Woodpile Ryan of Newcats
RW SGC Woodpile Kaleidoscope
RW SGC Woodpile Persuaded
RW SGC Woodpile The Legacy
2010 was another wonderful year for the Woodpile cats. Along
with our seven Regional Winners, We added two more Outstanding Dams
to our credit:
OD RW SGC Woodpile Snap Crackle N Pop
OD RW SGC Woodpile Calamity
Because of the timing of applying for Calamity's title it will be
"official" next year, but because it happened this year and it is
such an important title, we wanted to honor her here as well.
5/23/10
Once again the Woodpile Cats did very well at
the International Specialty Show. A HUGE congratulations to
new 3 show Supreme Grand Champion Alter Woodpile Heart Strings,
loved and beautifully presented by his owners,
Peter & Eileen Carafiol. Tugger, littermate to our RW SGC
Woodpile Persuaded, is the second 3 show Supreme from
this incredible litter that made their mama, RW SGC Woodpile
Calamity, an Outstanding Dam!
Not to be outdone, our darling little Hot Lips, now registered as
Woodpile Flash Dance, did exceptionally well for being just barely 4
months of age by picking up no less than EIGHT Best Longhair Kitten
awards that earned her the honor of best kitten in the show!
Hot Lips is a stunning silver torbie with high white, and just as
flashy as they come. Hot Lips is out of our lovely RW SGC
Woodpile Rumor Has It and IW SGC Coonbitzky Frost
Fire of Woodpile.
A very special thank you to Helmi
Flick, Jim Brown, Tetsu, and Gus Sanderson for the professional
photographs on our website.
