* = GC Brannaway Picasso, GC Brannaway Georgia O'Keefe, and GC Brannaway Modigliani (littermates) were raised, shown, and granded by Cacao for Brannaway Cattery, so they are included as part of our grands.  Both GC, RW Hisglory Anticipation and GC Hisglory Carissa were also conditioned and granded by Cacao from kittens, so they are also included.  There have been other cats that have been conditioned, shown, and granded by us for other catteries in the past - GC Cactusway Chocolate Bruiser and GC Caliente The Giz of Ghin are two examples - but we chose only to include cats that were with us from kittens through adults/granding. The others came to us as adults with some grand points.


** = GC, GPD, NW Cacao Fire In My Pachette, DM is the only "double" grand on this list. She is only counted once toward the total number of grands.
