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

I don't think you can determine an Exotic LH by its coat length.  Over the years of breeding Exotics, Persians and Himalayans, I seen different thickness, different density, hard or soft coats from all the above.

Christine,

With all due respect, the Exotic Longhairs ARE less than Persian.  They come from Exotic Shorthars.  That means they are NOT pure Persians.  Thus, they are less than Persians, just as the Color Point Carrier (CPC) is not  Pure Persian.  

Some breeders have wanted to have the ELH given a separate number designation just as the CPC has, but as Angela pointed out, it is difficult for newer breeders to know the ramifications and some breeders tell them that it doesn't matter if they are CPC.  Believe me, it does matter when one tries to sell CPC kittens.  But at least with the number designation we can see that the cat is not a Pure Persian and can determine if we want that or not.  If the ELH is accepted as Persians we will not be able to make that determination.  That is important for me as I had a Persian male that came from a Persian/Exotic breeder and was passed off as Pure Persian.  I believe he was not as his coat was shorter than it should have been and he passed that on to his offspring on occasion.  I DON'T WANT THAT!  And I'm sure many other breeders of Pure Persians feel the same way.  

I have to agree with Carissa that it is unwise to promote a mimic breed and even more unwise to call them Pure Persian.

In reading your later post I may have misinterpreted what you were saying.  If so, I sincerely apologize.

Hi Rose,

        I would really like to know who in their wisdom decided to call them Exotic Longhairs. It is the most uncreditable  decision anyone could make. It is a Persian for heavens sake. No more no less.  I cannot and will not understand why. Ridiculous.

Is there interest in seeking to promote the Exotic Long Hair as a breed of its own, as it would seem that preventing this breed from being bread back to persian males (the CFA rule) would essentially cause this breed to be a "throw away" breed and I belief after all the efforts that have gone to produce such beautiful cats that this is truly unfortunate. I hope there will be interest in promoting this. Blessings Rose
