That way you can get more money for your otherwise "throw away" kittens. But those who raise Pure Persians do not want that ONE gene in their lines. It is admirable that you are honest enough to tell perspective buyers that they are getting a mimic breed, but many will not take the chance of losing money or losing a sale and will not be as honest. In this economy we don't need to muddy the water and call a Part Persian a Pure Persian. I'm seeing many nice Persian kittens being petted out and going to sell than ideal pet homes. Do we really need to increase those numbers by adding yet more? When the ESH breed was first started there was much concern about the long hair variety being passed off as Persiand and it was stated that would NEVER happen. It's the old "camel nose under the tent" scenario. Now the push is on to do exactly what we were afraid would happen. Some may be OK with having a cross breed included as a Persian, but many die hard Persian breeders absolutely do not want that. I admit to being one of the latter group for reasons I stated in a previous post.

There are many breeds of dog which recognise different coat lengths - eg: chihuahua, daschund, collie, fox terrier...to name but a few. Presuming that we are all in agreement that an exotic has exactly the same type as a 'persian' ...indeed many ELH are fabulous examples of the Persian breed ...then I dont see why we cant do the same - same breed but different coat varieties! Most orgnisations have adopted this approach and allow free breeding - regarding longhairs as Persian and shorthairs as Exotic. There is no 'GENETIC' basis for distinguishing between an Exotic longhair and 'pure persian'! Apparently only in CFA? As a breeder of exotics I find longhairs a very useful part of my breeding programme - all longhairs which we produce are ELH in CFA and I define them as such so that onlookers can make their own decisions as to whether or not they wish to use in a 'pure persian' programmme.

Unless a group of breeders takes sufficient interest in assisting to promote the breed to its proper standing as a Persian or given a status of its own, this breed will continue to be difficult to sell or buy and prevent the honorable recognition of this most beautiful cat and the breeders thereof . | ||
