Scottish Fold Shorthair Breeders' Directory
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This breed occurred as a spontaneous
mutation in Scotland. The unique feature of the breed, from which its name
is derived, is the small, rounded, tightly folded shape of the ears, set in
a cap-like fashion, exposing a rounded cranium. Its rounded, well-padded
body stands firm on short, coarse legs having no lack of mobility. The tail
should be medium to long, flexible and tapering. The coat is short, dense,
and resilient. It is accepted in a wide variety of colors and patterns
The Scottish Fold Longhair is a hybrid cat and best
described as a longhair Scottish Fold (see the General
Statement in the Scottish fold Standard for more details.
All bonafide Scottish Fold Longhair cats trace their
pedigree to Susie, the first folded eared cat discovered by
the originators of both Scottish Fold Longhair and Scottish
Fold Shorthair , William and Mary Ross.
Scottish Fold Longhairs can take up to two years to fully
develop. Especially the development of the prominent cheek
and jowl appearance that is expected in the males. Also eye
color changes very slowly in Scottish Fold Longhairs
sometimes making it difficult to determine if the eye color
and coat color correspond.
