Working with a pure black Domestic Short Hair x Siamese Female (long-tailed) and partnering her with a Purebred, long-haired "orange" tabby Highlander male (features bobbed tail, polydactyl, curled ears-breed standard male) to begin (there is a lack of Highlander females where I am and we must start somewhere). ** Cats I work with are Health tested and meet proper requirements. My questions and inquiries are following some information: I have some questions for breeders-not necessarily breeders of this specific breed, but that would be a bonus! Their features include curled ears, bobbed tails, and polydactyl paws, and they are usually larger than the average Domestic cat. They are a very social, friendly, and outgoing breed that is a combination of the Jungle Curl and Desert Lynx. ![]() I will be working with the Domestic Highlander/Highland Lynx breed. Early in the development of the breed, the white color came by introducing white cats from what was believed to be an undocumented mating between a domestic female and a large feral white cat which appeared to look like a bobcat.I am currently in the beginning stages of learning about breeding and genetics in cats. Alpine Lynx come in one coat color–white. It may be full length or any length in between. The tail may come half way to the ground, or it may be lacking entirely, as in the Manx. As the breed continues to evolve, white cats that would otherwise be registered as Desert Lynx, Highland Lynx, or Mohave Bob may be registered as Alpine Lynx. ![]() Early breedings suggested that this white gene was a dominant gene, manifesting itself the same as the white gene found in other domestic cats. These cats were crossed into existing Desert Lynx and Highland Lynx lines. One of Kristin Berlo's Alpine Lynxes sunbathing. Heterochromia is usually common in the breed. The gene for curled ears is a dominant gene. The gene which causes the ear to curl actually hardens the cartilage in the ear and dwarfs the ear size. The degree of the curl may be slight or extreme, with the tip of the ear actually curling back and touching the back side of the ear. The curled ears are smaller than in the Desert Lynx and set wide apart, usually with feathering and tufts on the tip. The head is large but not round, with a full, well-developed muzzle that is almost square in appearance, with prominent whisker pads. Through generations of selective breeding with different breeds of domestic cats, the breed group (Desert Lynx, Highland Lynx, Mohave Bob, and Alpine Lynx) has incorporated many characteristics similar to those of the bobcat. ![]() It's a domestic cat, but it is bred to resemble the bobcat. It was developed from a cross between a Highlander and a barned Russian White. They may be either short- or long-haired, and may have tufted toes, and whose back legs are longer than their front legs. The Alpine Lynx is short-tailed cat breed that can have either curled or straight ears. The Alpine Lynx is a experimental, partially-wild cat breed from the mountain Alps in Europe.
