He
is said to be very handsome... the Pixiebob is a
domestic breed... My kids' best friend.
The
pixie-bob is an extraordinary feline. Bigger than
a common house cat, the pixie-bob weighs between
seven to twenty pounds. Males are generally larger.
The coat is usually tan colored with a number of
dark spots on it assisting the cat in its camouflage.
The fur is brittle but quite long and dense. The
nose of the pixie-bob is pinkish-red, and it has
a base color of gray or yellowish- or brownish-red
on its face, sides, and back. Pixie-bobs eyes are
yellow or green with black pupils. The characteristic
feature is its small tail that gives it the 'bobbed'
appearance - responsible for the breeds' name. The
pixie-bob is muscular and its strong, proportionately
long, hind legs giving it a bobbing gait, enable
it to generate tremendous bounds of speed. With
their keen senses, extreme agility and surprising
strength, the pixie-bobs make great hunters.. The
Pixiebob is the only breed that allows polydactyly—cats
with more than the usual five toes on the front
paws and four on the back. The Pixiebob is allowed
up to seven toes per paw...
I
believe that we, breeders, have the challenge to
preserve and develop that ethereal wildness, an
unforgettable way in which Pixie Bob cats glance,
move, look and carry themselves... My pixie-bobs
are MASSIVE spotted CATS with BIG BONES, a super
intelligence, an unforgettable wild look and a dog
like personality! They have the wild appearance
of the bobcat, but they also possess loyalty and
courage.
Although my cats may look wild, no captive bobcats
are used in my breding program. The kittens background
holds the most bobcat looking pixie-bobs since the
beggining of the breed. My fondation queen comes
from StoneIsland's cattery, WA. Then, I bought a
male for that massive pixie-bob girl with such a
beautiful face, that I have never regretted to have
paid the price for the very best in the world at
that time.. He was majestic... with a magical legend...
This was the beggining, many years ago.
Today,
like everyday I am working on the improvement of
the look, the temperament and the strong health
of my pixie-bobs, choosing carefully my breeders,
and working closely with veterinaries.
If
you're looking for a pixie-bob kitten as your forever
friend, a queen or a stud for your own program,
I'll be happy to help you.
