In Russia it was always somehow not to the cats

In Russia it was always somehow not to the cats. The experiences of the goal-directed selection at dawn XX- GO of century ended with the first volleys of revolution. And to the end of the 80th it is annual in the houses they lived for the most part short-haired striped zveryushki, similar on those, which and to this day run along the streets.

However, the "wind from the West", which blew in the 80's, revived cat life. Together with the first imported cats of aristocratic origin the first clubs of the amateurs of these animals appeared. But not all could secure dearly thoroughbred emigrant. People bore into the clubs of the usual domestic favorites, who at that time composed the large part of t= he livestock.
The first western experts, who dared themselves to visit cat exhibition= s in Russia, focused attention on important poludlinnosherstnykh cat- aborigines. And thus far we with the enthusiasm mastered sly science to felinologiyu and attempted to scrape "bulldog with the rhinoceros", in the West they studied numerous experiments on bree= ding of Russian Siberian species. Almost in each club, this carried along matter, was its standard, since any poludlinnosherstnaya cat from Russia was considered Siberian. But as it is cannot, without living in Russia,= to understand mysterious Russian soul, so also it was impossible abroad to create Russian cat.
Stormy interest abroad in our downy favorites forced domestic specialis= ts "to curl up sleeves". To the work on the species they drew the owners of the Siberian cats, that correspond= ed to the planned ideal. Oh, as this was is someti= mes complex! To people, which literally survived in the crisis of the econo= my of the boundary 80-90- X of g.g., it was it takes a long time to sugges= t, why all this is necessary: to separate Siberian cats, to drag them to t= he exhibitions, to on top of that maintain competition with the Persians, = who composed then cat bomond.

The low bow to all, who, without stinting on forces and time, created the p= ride of domestic felinologii - species of Siberian cats!
There is no possibility to mention all, pasts this way. Let us name only several Siberians, who placed basic rock lines, and already with the li= fe of those become legend. This repeated candidates in the champions of Europe, great international champions novel = (vl. of Ivanov A.) and Nestor igni (vl. Smirnov i.), international champion = is cat Giulia (vl. of Ivchenko T.), and also the son of novel and Giulia - tomcat Of vergiliy, repeated candidate in the champions of Europe, great international champion, founder- patriarch of one of the known not only= in Russia, but also abroad of the nursery of Siberian cats "Marcellus".
In 1990 in Rostoke by German specialists Ute Of zigrid Of gremel' and by Hans Joachim Schulz was registered the first standard, developed with t= he active participation of Russian felinologov. The time of spontaneous searches ended from that time, the goal-directed selection according to= the standard, by which were guided not only the domestic, but also foreign factory owners, began.
In the essence, the standard asserts the most harmonious natural type of domestic poludlinnosherstnoy cat. This large, powerful, somewhat thicks= et animal on the strong sinewy paws with the rounded cushions. Head is lar= ge with the well expressed cheek-bones, average length by the nose, which passes to the developed forehead at obtuse angle. Drawback is appeared = as persoobraznyy snub-nosed nose, so also straight profile. Rounded large = eyes are widely arranged, chin strong, but not heavy, cheek filled, the cush= ions of vibriss are not separated. On the whole, the muzzle in the plan comp= oses trapezoid. The ears of average value are set at a distance of more than= the width of ear in the base and several at angle. The tail of average leng= th, proportional to body, is well trim with furr= ed.

The long bright ostevaya fur tightly shuts thick underfur. This texture of = fur, which repels water and preserving heat-, was reached to Siberians from = the ancestors, who lived under the severe climatic conditions.
In the species is allowed the wide range of okrasov. Although are preferable so-called "wild" okrasy with the white and without= the white, most common in nature. Large popularity enjoy bright colored okr= asy - red, cream, blue. Very well dressed appear silvery and smoky cats, sh= ubki of which resemble polar fox. This effect is obtained as a result of the discoloration of hair at the root. Fur remains painted on the tips of h= air and white in base. It is obtained very beautifully.
In the special group are isolated the Siberian cats of okrasa kolor- po= int, the so-called Neva masquerade, with all colors of marks, characteristic= for this species.
Are not acknowledged white, chocolate, violet, Somali okrasy and their varieties. Although some Moscow nurseries attempt to work in this direction, nevertheless the majority of specialists skeptically relate = to such experiments. At least, the representatives of these okrasov on the type and the power be inferior to basic live= stock of Siberians, and this already retreat from the standard.
Neva masquerade cats also need the periodic infusion of the "wild blood". But it is possible not to fear for the exterior of masquerades, since their selection is conducted together with the Siber= ians of basic okrasov. And they had long ago been and solidly based on the exhibitions.

Thus, Siberians supplemented the group of the so-called forest species, which include American me1n- Kuhns and Norwegian forest. All these three spec= ies seemingly attach the aboriginal type of the cat, th= at exists in this region. At first glance they are similar, but it is worthwhile to get accustomed, as serious differences rush into the eyes= .
Norwegian cats are high on the paws and with the longer housing than in Siberians. They have the wedge-shaped snout, elongated in the plan with= the straight profile (i.e. without the passage from the nose to the forehea= d). Eyes oval, slightly slantwise placed. Integumentary fur rigid, which shines, oily to the form. Ears are highly set on the head and with the small brushes.
Unfortunately, in view of the absence of the high(ly)-class thoroughbred producers of Norway, the representatives of the species, which we meet = on the exhibitions in Russia, frequently leave much to be desired.
Me1n- Kuhns Americans separate already more than 100 years this very la= rge cats with the long housing on the sufficiently high feet with the large paws. Tail is long, with the magnificent being fluttered fur, proportio= nal to body. Head with the high cheek-bones, the large, wide in the base ears and the brushes on them. The muzzle is angular, as if square, with the powerful expressive chin. The eyes are large, are roun= d. Me1n- Kuhn fur poludlinnaya on the arms and the bre= ast, is lengthened to the tail, nonfatty to the form, silky, as being flowed, uniform texture.
In Russia there are several representatives of this species.
As a whole, the cats of forest species are characterized by natural mind and it is very attached to the owner.
It is possible to say that in the comparison with me1n- Kuhns and norve= gami the Siberian cats are more compact and rounded in the outlines. They possess the balanced nature and it is very clever. And although they are inclined to the independence, it is amazingly devoted to owner, their that brought up.<= /span>

Petersburg can be named in its kind the capital of breeding Siberian species. Specifically, Neva it is coast it began the triumphal procession of Siberians 0 0N throughout the world.
Siberian species steadily was improved since 1990,<= /span> the foreign factory owners of Russian cats supplemented their livestock= by the best kittens from Russia. Only from the nursery "Marcellus&quo= t; were exported about 50 animals into Germany, Belgium, Austria, Finland,= USA and so forth to 1997 work proved to be final. Were obtained many excell= ent producers, who stably transmit the desired signs to posterity. Then the final standard of Siberian species was affirmed.
That such on the measures of the history of 10 years - brief moment! But how many ups and downs were on this such sho= rt and such long way! How many recollections were carried in the head, until t= his description was written. Hundred and hundred= s of kittens, that passed through my hands, likable moustached muzzles and clear naive eyes.
Breeding species from zero - this always experiment. Indeed to begin it= was necessary with the animals, in which were frequently unknown even the nearest ancestors. Therefore in parents outstanding in all articles kit= tens with the snub-nosed bills and too soft, wadded a fur sometimes was born= . It means, in the relatives there were the Persians. Or suddenly was manife= sted nekorrektsiya of tail. But this is fraught with the defects of spine in posterity, since tail is its end. Such zveryushki, it goes without sayi= ng, were excluded from the breeding, although them they loved not less than their more satisfactory competitors. Frequently we lost producers, beca= use the masters not had time and forces to be occupied by club work. Unfortunately, someone perished on carelessness or from the diseases. <= span style=3D'color:#021369'>

It was differently. Completely ordinary parents produced to the light of t= he future champions, who moreover stably gave rock posterity.
Achievements can be seen on the numerous cat of show, in Saint Petersbu= rg and in other cities.
So that the bright genealogical - this is not only the object of the pr= ide of factory owners and owners. From this document the experts can extract useful information for determining the prospect for breeding one or oth= er animal or another. Therefore, acquiring kitten, compulsorily it follows= to inquire by its genealogical and in no case it not to reject, even if you acquire kitten "for the soul". When from the likable tolstola= pogo robust fellow grows luxurious beast, can, and you will want to make your contribution to development of the remarkable Russian species of cats. =
