Introducing our new stud. Vargas is bred by good friend Cathy Tofstad. He is a Cream mac tabby with white. Possessing large boning, sweet expression, a very tight ear set, and wonderful muzzle. Though IMO his best feature is by far his personality. Very sweet, outgoing, rambunctious & cuddly.

He has been to his first TICA show where he spend his days playing , talking, making bisquits, and pretty much impressing all who came within range of his charms.  He has an excellent show attitude.

Pedigree      Inbreeding=9.49% (complete),
He is negative for the HCM protine C mutation gene by virtue of both his sire and dam testing Negative.

His Heart was tested for HCM and found to be "Normal" and healthy on 4/20/09 at 3.5 years of age.
Hips passed exam May 2009 with a rating of "Good" OFA # MCC-759G33M-NOPI

                        Dar Morev's Royce   
Royce is only 10 months in these pictures.  Now after a lightly used stud life he is a much loved neutered pet here at Dar Morev.  His low inbreeding and overall heart and hip health have convinced me to use him at stud for a few breedings but he wasn't all that happy as a whole boy .
