The bronze mau has been developed in the u.k. since the late 1990's and in the early days there were a number of breeders whose cats have since become the foundation cats for future generations.  

These catteries are 'Ramah', 'Natango's',  'Sharbees', 'Chantina', and 'Maunarch'.

If you look at a pedigree certificate for a modern bronze, then it is very likely that some or all of these names will appear in early generations. 

Maunarch Pharoh (who is pictured above) sired kittens who would later promote the development of two modern catteries, La Grand Pyramide ( owned by Marylene Roulier in Paris ) and Geniemau (originally owned by  Peter & Jean Lamb in Durham, now run by Lesley & John Turner). These kittens (now fully grown adults!) were Hotep de la Grand Pyramide and Geniemau Lady Charlotte.

​

GENIEMAU CATTERY

Jean & Peter Lamb were pioneers of the Bronze in the U.K. They imported two boys from the Ramah cattery in the USA ( Maunarch Pharoh of Ramah & Ramah Geniemau Leolisimba) and the most beautiful bronze girl of all time, Natango's Ghaniyah of Geniemau from Germany, as their foundation cats.

 

Ghaniyah is the most highly titled Bronze mau in the U.K. and as well as siring some wonderful kittens, she was the first Mau to become a Bronze Olympian.

In 2012 she won Best Foreign Adult at the Supreme show. That's no mean achievement. One of her kittens was GrCh Geniemau Scherezade who in turn gave birth to Geniemau Lady Charlotte, the mother of a number of young Bronze maus who in turn are now homed with breeders across the world.
