PREFACE
This book provides you with a through description and positive attributes of this breed including origin, purpose, history, normal heights and weights, acceptable colors and behavioral traits. Our books differ from most books on cat breeds because this book also provides you with a comprehensive and authoritative source of all the known predisposed hereditary health syndromes for the breed. You will find extensive references for each problem described. We also provide addresses of registries for this breed and a list of laboratories and organizations that can provide professional help and information.
After having written extensively about the differences in purebred dogs, I have turned my attention to purebred cats. The dog is the world’s most physically diverse species with over 400 different breeds recognized worldwide. Sizes range from a three pound Chihuahua
