Another cornerstone of our breeding program is Brasky who was born at the home of Jean A. & Mark Ward. She's both a friend and companion and an outstanding mother who's accomplished offspring include the two brothers Bexar and Dandy (below) both becomming Regional Winners together in 2001 - 2002, just as their daddy Butler and his brother, Mac, achieved in 1997-1998 - it's a Family Tradition!

Barbie came to Texas Belle as a kitten to pursue her show career and to take her place in the Queen's room one day. She was entrusted to me by Lynn and Kim of Coonunnski Cattery. Since her retirement, Barbie has had one litter of kittens... we invite you to read her fairy tale story.

Seen here at just 10 months of age. In case you're not from Texas.... "Bexar" is pronounced the same as "bear". Gives a whole new meaning to a Bexar Hug.... doesn't it?
