| Cats of Distinguished Merit
This is the ninth installment in a series about Silvers that have earned the title of DM. To earn this title, a female must have produced five cats who have either granded or themselves earned a DM. A male must have produced fifteen cats who have either granded or themselves earned a DM. The title Distinguished Merit was recognized in 1981, but can be gained retroactively via petition to CFA, identifying the qualifying offspring. by Karol Cummins GC Gipanglin Tiffany, DM Breeder: Yasuo-Michiko Takano Owner: Teruko Arai GC Gipanglin Tiffany, DM is our �newest� DM, as she was awarded the title retroactively just a scant few months ago when Persian pedigree �Linechasers� discovered she had five qualifying off-spring. They contacted CFA where the award was indeed verified and confirmed! Woohoo! How many more Silver DMs are out there waiting to be discovered? GC Gipanglin Tiffany, DM a Chinchilla Silver Persian, was born August 5, 1977 out of JCA GC Bean Ridge Brio and Gipanglin Celena Springwood. She was purchased by Teruko Arai and joined the lovely Tiffanyland cats. Gipanglin and Tiffanyland are well known Japanese catteries famous for Silver Persians with heavy boning, gorgeous eyes and ethereal beauty. Bred to CH Delphi Lamgi, GC Gipanglin Tiffany produced her first �Grand� GC Tiffanyland Star Dust, a gorgeous Chinchilla male. Bred back to her son Star Dust, Tiffany gave birth to GC Tiffanyland Brillante, and her litter brother GC Tiffanyland Starry Night, both Chinchilla. Later Tiffany was bred to Tiffanyland Victor and produced littermates GC Tiffanyland Christina and GC Tiffanyland Mio Victorious also lovely Chinchillas. A huge thank you to the Linechasers responsible for discovering this �new� DM!
