WELCOME TO THE
OFFICIAL
HIGHLANDER BREEDERS GROUP WEBSITE!
This site is dedicated to the Highlander and its breeders.
We offer information about the breed and how it has evolved, and lists the
names and contact information about the breeders from whom you can obtain a
Highlander.
Here you will learn about this wonderfully exciting breed and how you can
become an owner of one of the world’s most fascinating breeds. A Highlander
is a complete package, beautiful, domestic and with a distinctly different
look, it is loving, entertaining, physically sound.
Breed Traits/Physical Features
What
first draws your attention to a Highlander is its incredible head. A
Highlander's profile shows a long sloping forehead with the nose, muzzle and
chin forming a blunt look. The eyes are set far apart and are a slightly
flattened oval in shape, set on a slight bias, and separated by a very wide
nose with substantial nose leather. This breed's chin is strong and deep
with the muzzle being full and wide. The muzzle length makes the head appear
longer than it is wide. The ears are set as much on top as on the sides of
the head and stand tall, open, and carry a dominant single and relaxed curl
gene. This loose and relaxed curl gene keep the ears standing tall and the
base of the ear wide open. In profile a Highlander has minimal curl with
only the slightest turn in the backward direction. The ears will be more of
a vertical crimp than a horizontal one.
What most people like about this breed is the substantial body structure.
Watching a Highlander move is pure beauty as their long hind legs flex and
the heavy, pronounced muscles ripple between their shoulder blades. A
Highlander’s feet are large with prominent knuckles, built for the stamina
for which they are known.
Anchored on the muscular hips of the Highlander is a natural short tail.
Ranging in length from 2 inch to hock length, it should be thick and
preferably articulated. Though a straight tail is preferred, sometimes
slight twists and kinks may be detected. Many times there will also be a
noticeable fat pad at the end of the tail.
A Highlander brings you the "Big Cat look" in a domestic cat. As incredible
as their looks are a Highlander is a playful, happy-go-lucky cat that likes
nothing better than to have an audience and all eyes on it as it thinks of
new zany antics with which to entertain it humans.
