About the breeder in Semenyih, can I have his phone number? And do you know what association his cattery is associated with? I prefer CFA.
PS- Since we are talking about Persian and Chinchilla, may I know is it true like what I always heard that non-peke face Persians are not show quality?

hi jay,
i don't have any pedigree show cats  but i do read a lot of books and websites.
for pedigree persians, also have the non-faltface, called dollface persians. said to be the original head type. same as siamese cats, also have applehead - means the head is round instead wedge.
for chinchillas, chinchilla persian have more flat look than chinchilla longhairs. it is said that chinchilla longhairs from south africa is the original chinchilla due to closed gene pool during apartheid regime.
as for showing the cats, flatface persians are favoured in the show ring, same as siamese, the applehead goes to the backseat. for chinchilla, the chinchilla persians rules the show.
it is just that these extreme facial features are more favoured in the ring, ana of course win more... i read that the traditional type of persians, siamese and chinchillas do not show their cat because of their frustration of not winning anything despite entering shows for a couple of times
just some scribbles
