Congratulations on your new addition! He's a beauty!
Thankfully, she likes to eat a lot more this time around than she did during her first heat. I'd hate to have to retire her early since she is a complete outcross for the breed, but her health comes first. So frustrating, these girls!Originally Posted by moonandstarkatz
Thats miserable having a girl in constant heat like that. I understand that one well. My first girl was in constant heat even after her first litter of 6 and she couldn't get the weight on no matter what I did so I retired her. That was Armands mom.
Hmm, is it somewhat similar in color to a warm-bronze Egyptian Mau? The bronze breeders talk a lot about high ruffousing in their "warm" cats. You've give me a new project to tackle!Originally Posted by moonandstarkatz
Golden Genetics
We have goldens in the states, its not they are non existent, its that they are rare, hard to produce (VERY) and cost more to import. There are only 3 golden lines, those haven't had much done to outcross and widen that genetic base.
The golden I am obtaining is from one such wider genetic base and doesn't have lines or any cats here from that cattery.
The golden gene is a poly gene of the brown and high ruffousing gene. Siberian goldens aren't the same as Persian goldens and they come in all patterns. Its more to it but that would take me a long long long time to explain.
