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

I  am so darned confused even more so now.

Ok this is where the stand is at the moment in New Zealand  and the last I knew still in Australia and I sure hope they have the common sense to leave it  as it is.

 

The Exotic is a cat you have if you want the looks and temperament of a Persian but not wanting to have to deal with the length of coat basically. That is how MOST International judges and local judges explain it to the public. (are we going to reducate the public and tell them all of this because we are in fact if going bysome cat fancy standards MISLEADING the public)

 Another remark that is constantly made is that a Persian can hide a multitude under a massive coat but an exotic can’t, what you see is what you get.

So in reality I think the judges should explain all this ELH and other things, while judging.They should stand there and say but don’t get confused by the look of this cat it is not a Persian in anyway (contradiction)

Now another thing what about all the books (all say short haired Persian, (well the one’s I have read) and websites and the STANDARDS the only difference is COAT LENGTH.

 AND PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER THIS WITH A PKD REMARK

I think it's a great point.  Why are people concerned about "muddying the water" with unpure kittens that need to be petted out but they're not concerned about PKD kittens needing to be petted out.  Don't the PKD kittens increase the petted kittens?   --- On Wed, 3/10/10, jer dawn <jerdawn@gmail.com> wrote: From: jer dawn <jerdawn@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [PER] throw away breed Exotic Long Hair prevented from breeding to persian male inCFA To: "Klaus and Lisa Jackson" <akaranapersians@hotmail.com> Cc: persian-fanciers@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, March 10, 2010, 1:15 AM I'm not sure what you mean by PKD causing problems unless you mean that so many good cats were put down because of PKD, but let's not get into that subject again.  It's been beat to pieces.  I agree that idiotic and unrealistic contracts did it's share of damage, and I would say the glory days of the Fancy are over.  Not just the Persian breed.  Too many people bought Persians thinking they would make a lot of money.  Too many breeders have sold pet quality kittens with breeding rights just so they could get a few bucks more for them.  And too many breeders were unwilling to help newbies because they were too busy trying to sell them poor quality cats for breeding.     I could go on and on with the list, but everyone gets the idea.  I still feel that adding a look alike breed will only add to the problems.   Dawna   On Mar 9, 2010, at 3:43 PM, Klaus and Lisa Jackson wrote: The glory days of the persian breed are over, not because of impure look-alikes but because of PKD and idiotic contracts that breeders impose on people that try to get a foothold in the breed.
