The Toyger - for a tiger's living room

Since May 2007, it offziell: The "Toyger" is a new, the TICA (The the International Cat Association) and recognized with championship status send breed. Until then, it was a long way. When Toyger is a real "Desingerrasse," not on a random intersection, discovery or spontaneous mutation (such as the Rex breeds) goes back, but focused on the drawing board was designed. And the designation as a "race from the drawing board" in this case is not even a metaphorical sense. It is tatäschlich so that already at a very early stage of the breeding history computer images as a template for the selection of Zuchtieren were created (see Toyger projection, prepared and presented by Judy SUGDEN for TICA to the status of the "New Breed evaluation in 2000 to reach and "Early Morf").

Its origins of the "toy tiger", whose name is a variation of "Toy" (toys) and Tiger is in the interests of the U.S. American breeder Judy Sudgen, owner of the EETAAS Cattery is a particularly clear, strong M-ackerel Tabby Patterns (stripes drawing). For some their Jatzen said Judy drawing a face, from the otherwise when Tabby cat clearly prominent "M" abwich and spots on the temples showed that tend to face the circular drawing of a tiger remembered.

1993 Judy was the street hangover from Blu Jammu Kashmir in India is imported, the clear spots between the ears and showed an important foundation for the breeding Toyger presented, previously before allema from domestic Shorthair cats (that is, short-haired domestic cat) decreased. Completed Toyger was also cultured by the Einkreuzung of Bengalkatzen such as the heavily built Millwood Rumpled Spotskin, to a major hangover in the Toyger-breeding (figure).

Already in the early'90s, the Toyger in TICA registered, but had not yet the status of a breed. In the year 2000, the Toyger as "Preliminary New Breed" and in 2006 as "Advanced New Breed" recorded. Since May 2007, the Toyger one in the TICA fully recognized breed. But even this success for the young breed, it is still a long way for talented and dedicated breeders to make a real "mini-tiger" to kreiieren. On the side Toygers.org you can see some pictures, which give an idea of where the Toyger should develop. The goal is to create a friendly house cat in Großkatzentyp and with clear tiger drawing that always the colors Black Tabby (in the U.S. also often called Brown Tabby called) must have. One Rufismus clearer (reddish undertones) seems to be desirable. In addition, the cats also have movement patterns that are big cats to remember. Detailed information about the appearance of Toygers found in the TICA-breed standards.

In this video, one of the first reported Toyger-breeder Britain, Gaynor Jean-Louis about the new breed.

In the second video that I would like to imagine that we once again about the Toyger shown with beautiful pictures.
