Hi Carol, I thought Claudia's suggestion of going to a cat show to find a good breeder was an excellent one! That is how my husband and I found our Blue Lynx Point Oriental Shorthair, Toulouse. We weren't necessarily looking for this breed in particular ,however, we liked the "orientals" in general having had a much beloved Burmese in the past. We became quite taken with the relaxed nature of the oriental shorthairs. In looking over oriental shorthairs from the various catteries, we met Toulouse's breeder. She was pretty dicriminating about who she would consider selling to which impressed us. She had Toulouse, who she'd been considering been running on for show, for sale. We had fallen in love with the little guy and because we lived within four blocks of her, the breeder agreed to sell him to us (she even gave us a discount, which we did not ask for :)) I think you are likely to see more than one style of face amongst the Persians at a cat show, especailly as Claudia mentioned, among the pet quality kittens being offered for sale. Although, it is frowned upon, and often not permitted, to have puppies for sale at a dog show, it is a perfectly acceptable thing to have kittens for sale at a cat show. Here's hoping that you are able to help your sister find a really nice Persian of the longer faced variety (Chinchilla persians often have less severe faces) :)
All the best, Susan V.
