Welcome to  Atakad website. I

do hope you enjoy the new

format and layout. 

My   first   introduction   to   the   Birman   Breed   was   when   I   moved to   Lincolnshire   in   1975.   Through   my   business   I   met   one   of the   ladies   who   imported   one   of   the   very   first   Birmans   into   this country.   She   told   me   many   wonderful   stories   about   these gorgeous   cats.   I   decided   that   I   had   to   have   one   of   my   own. At the   time   I   owned   two   ginger   moggies   who   were   brothers   but decided   that   it   would   not   be   fair   on   them   to   introduce   a   new cat   into   the   household   so   I   waited   until   they   went   to   the “Rainbow   Bridge”,   they   both   lived   until   they   were   22   years   of age!! I   then   went   on   the   hunt   for   my   first   Birman,   after   six   months   I eventually   found   a   Blue   Point   male,   Oakside   Blue   Dominick.   I called   him   “Herman   the   Birman”.   As   I   was   very   active   in   the dog   show   scene   with   my   Dalmatians   I   decided   that   it   might be   fun   to   also   try   my   hand   at   exhibiting   Birmans   so   I   then looked   for   a   show   quality   kitten   which   I   eventally   found   from Pauline   of   Elmridge   Birmans,   a   blue   point   girl   Elmridge   Blue Jewell    (Lilley).    This    was    the    start    of    my    showing    and breeding of Birman Cats. I applied for “Dakata” for my GCCF affix which is my Kennel Club affix for my Dalmatians and Toy Poodles but the GCCF would not accept it so I tried for “Atakad” (Dakata reversed) which they finally accepted.
