It's not a very good pic, but I do have one His curls don't look very good in the photo, as he's been romping and playing and generally getting dirty... but once he's bathed and properly groomed, he looks great. He's got a super personality and he has very good type and I'm anxious to see how he'll do in the shows. It's been a while since I've been able to show due to moving around so much and this is my first litter of selkirks in quite a while.

I'm still trying to decide what to name this boy... I've named his longhaired curly red sisters Lucille McCurl and Curly Temple... but he and his white short haired curly sister still don't have names. My cattery name is Cutetins, which will be the prefix on their registrations... so I just need to figure out what to call these other two kids.

Oh, what a cute lamb! :-)
He's really sweet. I'm thinking about the names... very difficult indeed. Cutetins ... ??? I'd actually chose the name you'll call him first and then add something to make it more "noble" or funny.

To go on with the game - Siberians are one of my fav breeds:





OK, I'll stop it - but ain't they gorgeous? :-)

Let's go for some difficult breeds again: Australian Curl.

@DallasRechelle: Where do you always get the latest news about Barbaro? Do you know him personally?

Oh those are gorgeous, thank you!!!

I hope you're aware that the Australian Curl cat is extinct? I can't find a single picture of them, since they only existed in Australia for at most a year.

I'm getting it from www.blood-horse.com and http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/horse/index I'm a huge fan of Barbaro, he was truly impressive horse, which I haven't seen run in years.

Do you want to put up a different breed?

[Xaja]

Oh sorry... I just check in my list the breeds I have no photos of. The next is Bohemian Rex - would you like to try that one?

I understand your devotion to that horse - I'm an Arab fan and have two of them here:

I *THINK* this is a Bohemian Rex, the words were in German, but it popped up with this picture on the website. I might be mistaken though, but it's all I can find, seeing as that this breed is also extinct.




Here's the actual site for that picture, if you want to see it. http://www.enimal.de/tiere/a/Bohemian%20Rex/414/2/29

Your horses are GORGEOUS!! I'm so jealous! LOL

I'm actually looking to buy a horse soon, I just need to find a place to board it. I grew up with horses, cattle, dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, etc and I miss the horses & cattle. I want to move to the country & start to build a ranch, but unfortunately, right now that isn't possible, due to finances. Maybe after I'm at this job awhile.

My first horse was an Arabian, he was gorgeous and had an excellent pedigree. Unfortunately, my Dad thought he was too "dangerous" for me, so he sold it and bought me an insane Quarter Horse. That horse was dangerous, bucked me off more times that I can count, knocked me unconscious once for about a half hour.

Can I see an Alpine Lynx next please?

I've never seen a bohemian rex, but that cat definitely has some persian in it's ancestry... I wonder what breeds were used to create this hybrid?

My son came up with our cattery name years ago when bred himalayans and persians. Cutetins is short for cute kittens... he always called them cutetins for short. With the selkirks, I usually incorporate some form of curl or wave into the name if they are standard curly kittens... the straight coated babies are easier to name since I can call them pretty much anything.

I can understand your love of the siberian. I had two of them a few years ago. Darcy was a brown torbie and her sister was a red. I got them from a breeder in PA when I was still living there. The red girl had a heart problem and passed on and Darcy was so jeolous of the other cats that she would literally pee on me while I slept... so we found her a home with an older gentleman that could be devoted to just her. She is doing very well there as an only pet and companion to a retired man that adores her.

Xaja, here are a few pics of Barbaro, he seems to be in good spirits judging by this first picture. I put them as attachments since they are so huge!

He definitely has been getting a lot of presents.

Is it alright if I add you to my Yahoo Messenger list?

[Xaja]

Great pics!

An american Keuda for you:




And another difficult one: Burmalayan, Himbur, Iranese, Layanese, Silkanese, Tibetane, Tonkalayan, Minx Persian. Seems to be the same breed!

Yes, it's ok if you add me, but I won't be online the next few days.

Himbur

Himbur:



That American Keudo is gorgeous!

How about a nice Cotton Snowshoe?

No problem, it's a long weekend here so we've been out today and might go out tomorrow too. Basically I've been enjoying sleeping in.

Barbaro is a gorgeous horse. I think someone forgot to tell him that his injuries were life threatening. He sure seems to be bouncing back from them beautifully. Here's the site that I got them from:
http://www.upenn.edu/vet/newsandeven...baroPhotos.htm

They have x-rays of the leg before & after surgery. A week later and it's still just so unbelievable. I mean we were watching the race and saw it happen, but it just is so .... unbelievable.

[Xaja]

I'm sorry I couldn't find any pic of a Cotton Snowshoe, and on google there are only 2 entries at all to this breed. That's the messybeast-text:

"Similar to a semi-longhaired Snowshoe variant with minimal white markings on the face and feet. Long, silky, thick coat; thick mane, bushy tail. Old-type Siamese-style face. Developed using a snowshoe Siamese (Siamese with white toes/feet, considered a fault in the Siamese breed). Not related to the recognised Snowshoe breed. Exceptionally affectionate personality."

But no pic...

Well, I'll post another one of my own cat:



Can you possibly find a "Burmanx"?
