And all dogs started as wolves.

Per the CFA - the average size range for their purebred Maine Coon females is 9-12 lbs. The girls are not as big as the boys. And yeah, whether the Maine Coon is a actually a "breed" is very questionable. The 1895 CFA show records asked exhibitors to state that both parents were long-haired cats. Period. And all of the cats with papers are descended from those lines of "not shorthaired" cats. |

And all of the cats with papers are descended from those lines of "not shorthaired" cats. All breeds came from somewhere. People want a cat that looks a certain way. They breed for it, then standardize it. Then, the cat can be papered as that breed. Same for dogs. Breeds don't have to be hundreds of years old to be valid. New ones are still being developed. ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ Jesus saves, Allah protects, and Cthulhu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace ------------------------------------------------- |
