PETERBALD BREEDING CONCLUTIONS !!!

Observations

We had observed in the diferents litters from diferents animals and generations that kittens had:

1) A marked “variation of hair kind, Quality and type”:

"Straight hair", cats with normal hair, allways they have normal whisker.

 

“Hard or wiry hair”, these are wide hairs with tip curly, normaly is longer but could be short too. They have soft wave whiskers

 

“Cotton or softhing hair”, these are fine hairs with tipical wave or soft curly, normaly is longer, 5 to 30mm. They have curly whiskers

 

“Hard Chamoisse hair or velour”, it is in 2-3 mm. The sensation is smooth with some resistance when you move it, the light's shining on the hair. Curly whiskers.

“Soft Chamoisse hair or flock hair”, it is in 0.5-1.5 mm shorter and finer. Invisible to eyes. The sensation is smooth without resistance when you move it, the light's is not shining on the hair. Curly whiskers.

“Hair absent” they are hairless, Their skin is soft, warm and almost sticky to the touch, forming charming wrinkles on all body could "rubber" or "gummy”. Kittens of these type are born absolutely hairless and with open eyes without whiskers and eyebrowes.

 

2) a variably “hairlossing distribution or patterns”:

Hairlessness restrict to all over the body.

Hair restricted to the pointed or extremes

Hair on the pointed (extremeties) and belly

Hair on all over the body

We had chosse and select to breed progenies with the least hair as our subsequent breeding line. We were eliminated same undiserable trait of hairlosing distribution pattern from our lines like haired belly by selectively breed.

 

3) In the secondary factors we were found a combination of the “variation of hair kind, quality and type”:

Only one kind/quality/type hair (in the same long).

Two diferent kind/ quality/ type´s hair (in the same or diferent longs).

4) The diferent kind of coat are made by the combination of any of the above hairlossing patterns can appear in combination with any kind of hair. But there are no just strictly defined groups of hairs, those groups are somewhat diffusive:

Any PD coat always had a modificated whisker´s hairs.

"Brush coat". hard or wiry haired cats These are haired cats not naked. They long hair from 5mm to 15mm. They are NOT SOFT to the touch, agresive. It have curly tip hairs, longer than velour. Curly whiskers

“Cottont o softhing coat”: soft haired cats. The hair could be from 5 to 30mm. Is softh to to the touch. Could be dense or disperse (esparse). Waved whiskers.

"Velour coat". Brush extra short or hard chamoise type of hair. Is 1-3 mm, dense. Smooth sensation with same resistance when you move it . is shiny on ligth.

“Flock coat" flock or short chamoise hair. Is short, soft and fine down hair,not dense not extremely sparse. The coat have a smoother sensation. Hair doesn't shine on light.

“Bald or naked” they are hairless, Their skin is soft, warm and almost sticky to the touch, forming charming wrinkles on all body could "rubber" or "gummy”. Kittens of these type are born absolutely hairless and with open eyes without whiskers and eyebrowes.
