Do they breed true?

Spur Cattle Company Cattle, Feeders, Semen, and Embryos
Yes. Nearly 70 years of genetic selection for high quality and small size makes them breed true. There are no genetic defects and no throw backs. At eight months, the heifers average 240 pounds and bulls 300 pounds. As yearlings, they weigh about 420 pounds for heifers and 510 pounds for bulls. The cows at maturity (three years of age) weigh a consistent average of 700 pounds in good condition and stand between 36 and 41 inches at the shoulder.

Is This Breed For Me?

Cat Fanciers: Scottish Fold: Cat Breed FAQ
Susie, the first Scottish Fold cat, was discovered in 1961 in the Tayside Region of Scotland, at a farm near Coupar Angus. She was a white barn cat with ears that folded downward and forward on her head. Her face resembled an "owl" or an "otter's face". A shepherd by the name of William Ross first noticed Susie's unique ears at a neighbor's barn. Since William and his wife Mary were Cat Fanciers they were fascinated with Susie.

Frequently Asked Questions
Considering the amount of health issues in casually bred Miniature Schnauzers, breeding is a very important decision. Having puppies is a lot of work and effort. Some want to breed to get their 'investment' back or to make some money. This is not wise considering the number of poor quality, casually bred members of the breed there are already. Breeding should not be taken casually. Serious breeders give a lot of thought to heredity of conformation, health and temperament.

TICA has recognized the Bengal, and there are many Champion Bengals. Our Breeding program has Bengals of champion blood. Only recently, the summer of 1997, has ACFA once again allowed Bengals show status. Years back some unscrupulous breeders passed off foundation cats as Bengals. At one of CFA's shows a foundation cat was unruly and Bengals were yanked from the shows. Everyone paid the price, and only now has the wrong been righted.

We have been told that this breed has a lot of skin problems. Is it true?

Chinese Shar-Pei Frequently Asked Questions
I have never had any skin problems and have found diet to largely be the culprit of hair loss, dry coats, and hot spots. Changing diets has alleviated many of these complaints. Foods with soya and beef appear to trigger of these symptoms. Some shar pei experience low thyroid, of which the addition of added kelp to the diet will help. Hair loss is generally experienced when puppies blow their puppy coat, or when a bitch has puppies, or generally when a shar pei is under stress.

However the LaPerm breeding programme makes use of some cats which are straight haired and many curly cats which carry the recessive gene for straight hair (called heterozygous LaPerms), as well as homozygous LaPerms which do not carry straight hair.

Question: I have heard that water filters breed bacteria, is this true?

Fresh Water Filter Co. Ltd. - The Water Treatment Specialist...
Answer: Yes, but it does not apply to the FW1000 system. Certain carbon filters have in fact been criticised for their ability to breed bacteria. However, in fairness to the manufacturers of these, the situation has been widely exaggerated and only applies to heterotrophic opportunistic bacteria. By comparison the ceramic shell of the 1000-25-SM cartridge was originally developed for its bacteriological removal capability.
