[PER] Re: throw away breed Exotic Long Hair prevented from breeding to persian male inCFA

These cats are not throw-away cats, but valuable to Exotic shorthair breeding programs. Exotic breeders said they needed the longhair cats in their programs in order to keep the coat at the correct "plush".

Why would anyone possibly want to start a breed that is a COMPLETE mimic of another? No registry in the world - of any animals - allows for one breed to completely mimic another.

If you want to breed cats that look like Persians - then breed Persians. If you want to breed cats that look like Persians but have short hair - then breed Exotic Shorthairs.

I hope there will be interest in promoting this. Blessings Rose
