HIRAJA
Seal point Siamese, male
born April 18, 1907

This story will give you a glimpse into the life of 'Hiraja", a seal-point Siamese male bred by Mrs. Chilcott, of Lovel Dene, near Windsor Park. This particular Siamese male was a son of Mrs. Norris' 'Champion Kew King of Siam' who at that time was one of the most well-used males in the United Kingdom. He was also a half-brother to 'Champion Sancho' (1906) who was another hallmark Siamese stud male of the second half of the first decade. 

The Siamese as a breed was still developing into its phenotype during this critical period between the turn of the 20th century and the First World War, so this gives us a glimpse into those pre-Great-War times.
