Erin Vosburgh created the workshop booklet and gave thanks to Leslie Falteisek, for her drawings; to Drs. Paul and Ginger Meeker; Scott and Thora Hart; Karen and Scott Beyl; Lisa Kamm-Mischel; Colin and Jo Cornwall; Alice, Joe, Kimberly and Doane Huemmer; and Bettijane Myjak. This presentation was originally reproduced from the workshop booklet by Jo Ann Cummings, and was then updated in 2009, by Cathy Dunham, Erin Vosburgh and Barbara Sinbine. We would like to thank all the photographers, for without their dedication to capturing our cats on film this project would not be possible.
Body continued …
Females are less massive in all respects with males having larger jowls. This breed takes a full 3-5 years to reach full maturity and development. Individuals should convey an overall impression of balance and proportion in which no feature is exaggerated to foster weakness or extremes.
(The forehead should be rounded with a slight flat plane on the top of the head. The forehead should not slope.)
