Lilacs

This page is dedicated to the spectacular lilacs that have been produced here at Russpurrz in memory of our beloveds - Ty and Hope. We are quite proud of all of them.  Although the 3 born to Sassafras were/are Type B blood type, the remainder should be A blood type as my females currently have no B blood known in their pedigrees. 

CFA GRC Russpurrz Tyrian Purple

Sire: GRC Biramor St. Louis Blue of Russpurrz

Dam: Carabir Sassafras of Russpurrz

"Ty" was our first famous lilac. Many judges named him the BEST LILAC BIRMAN they have ever seen, and we agree. Sadly, he was injured in a house breakin and suffered irreparable kidney damage and crossed the rainbow bridge in August, 1998. See Ty's page for more about his achievements.


CH Russpurrz Valentepurpl

Sire: GRC Biramor St. Louis Blue of Russpurrz

Dam: Carabir Sassafras of Russpurrz

"Herbie" named for the Love Bug that he is.  A sweet, beautiful male.


CFA CH Russpurrz Valentine's Hope

(better picture soon to come)

"Hope" is Herbie's brother and all are the same breeding. Sadly, Hope crossed the rainbow bridge after we had a house fire from an injury sustained during the fire. He was a very sweet and beautiful boy.


Russpurrz Violet Viking
(on the left)

Sire: GRC Biramor St. Louis Blue of Russpurrz

Dam: CH Russpurrz Taffy

"Viking" is 4 mos. old in the picture. He is going through an awkward stage and we are waiting to see if he comes out of it :-)! He will be starting his show career soon, and may be staying here as a future stud.


Russpurrz lilac point male - 3 mos. old

Sire: GRC Biramor St. Louis Blue of Russpurrz

Dam: CH Russpurrz Sophisticated Lady

This little guy (also pictured on the right in the picture above) is probably one of the best lilacs produced here so far and unfortunately will be going to a pet home very soon. His picture is here to show the wonderful TYPE that is being produced here in our lilacs. This little boy has a wonderful head and body, but also has a kinked tail - which I curse everyday!


CH RUSSPURRZ XELE-DE OF BITAHEAVEN
Lilac Point Female
DOB:  3/24/00
Sire:  CH Russpurrz Valentine, bp
Dam:  CH Russpurrz Vixen, sp

"Xele" has joined James and Paula Watson of Bitaheaven Birmans in Arkansas.   They are doing a fabulous job at showing her off.  At her first show with them in Little Rock, Xele got 5 out of 6 finals and then in Shreveport, LA, she received 3 AB finals.  A big thanks to James & Paula for showing her off and loving her so well!  She can now be seen at shows looking for those Grand Points.


CH RUSSPURRZ XTRAVAGANCE OF XANADU
Lilac Point Male
DOB:  3/30/00
Sire:  CH Russpurrz Vegas Jackpot, bp

"Tupper" has joined Susan Gibson and Mellie in Canada to become a future stud boy.  He is a beautiful boy that is one of the best I've produced yet.  Hopefully, we will get a better picture soon.  Watch for him on the NE Coast and in and around Nova Scotia, Canada.  Thanks to Susan for giving him a great home and taking the responsibility of showing him off!  He will soon be at shows earning those Grand Points!
