Himalayan Satin Peruvian

This is a cross of those three breeds and coats.

How gorgeous! Man, I would snap him up in a heartbeat

Lol they are really cute. I haven't seen one in person.

I don't know how the breeds and varieties work in other places, (the ones in the US are hard enough to keep straight XD) but Peruvian Satin is the breed, and Himalayan would be the variety. In the US there are the following (separate) breeds;

Abyssinain
Abyssinian Satin
American
American Satin
Coronet
Peruvian
Peruvian Satin
Silkie
Silkie Satin
Teddy
Teddy Satin
Texel
White Crested

Each of these breeds come in different varieties. Think breeds = coat type/characteristics, variety = color/markings. It's very confusing at first And then just when you think you've got them all memorized they add new ones

I have photos of all the breeds and varieties listed on my website, if you want me to post a link.

And yes, he is very gorgeous

Thank you very much, it is a conflict to use the correct breed depending on locations. Once more thank you very much for this helpful post. If you have pictures can you provide them????

What pictures do you need?

Whichever you can provide us.

I LOVE your himalayan I want one so badly!!! Just beautiful, if you ever know of one available be sure to let me know.

Well it is not mine I have a book with that picture. I would love to have one of those.

Daughtered moved to her new apartment yesterday, and one of the movers had a coronet. I asked if he had any pigtures, but no. He stopped to see my babies, and say "hi" to them, though. That is a gorgeous piggy. Ooh, to have hair like that, lol!!
