A new breed of asher cats: myth or reality?

Fashion is a universal phenomenon and extends not only to clothing. Now it is fashionable in our own house to contain even exotic animals, including cheetahs. However, not everyone can afford it, but only very wealthy people. In 1980, by crossing the African Serval, having a large size and exotic spotted color, and the most ordinary cat, which everyone knows, a breed of savanna cat was bred .

These cats had to create an alternative to cheetahs, which rich people increasingly began to keep in their cages. These mini-cheetahs, or as they are jokingly called - kotopesiki, are not just domestic pets, but symbolize well-being, emphasize a special lifestyle. The international organization TICA has officially recognized this breed. For a long time the savannahs were considered to be the largest and most expensive cats in the world.

But in 2006, a new breed of cats asher, named so in honor of the goddess Ashara, is in fashion. In the network there were videos and photos with images ashera. In appearance, the breed of Asher cats are impressive in size and very similar to a serval or savannah. These cats can be taken out on a leash like a dog, and they are okay with this. The prices for kittens of a new breed are more than twenty thousand dollars. Thus, asher is positioned not only as the largest, but also as the most expensive breed of cats. To the price does not fall, the kittens are only sold sterilized. To get a kitten, it was necessary, using the site of the company, to deposit a deposit in the amount of 6 thousand dollars and wait several months.

She appeared in America. The breed of Asher cats is very similar to the Sphinx. I was engaged in divorce and sale of kittens of this shocking breed exclusively company Lifestyle Pets. Around 100 individuals were sold per year. These cats are very large, just gigantic in size. The height at the withers can reach one meter, and the weight - 12-14 kilograms. Asher has a formidable appearance, large, powerful paws. But despite the impressive look, the character of cats is affectionate, and yet they are very mobile, they like to play with children or to chase a ball on the floor. In a word - these are the ideal pets, who like to sleep longer after a hearty meal or rub against the owner's legs and pomurlykat. Their hair is short and, especially valuable, hypoallergenic! This makes the asher attractive to allergy sufferers.

According to the breeders, the breed of Asher cats is a hybrid of the usual cat waiting in each house, with an African serval and an Asian leopard cat living in the wild. From the domestic cat, the breed of cats asher took a gentle character, and from the leopard and the serval - a spotted color and size.

However, some people believe that cat asher is just a myth that there is no new breed, and that this is actually a long-known and forgotten savannah. Doubts about the real existence of the new breed arise from the fact that in addition to weight, size and character about the cats of this breed, nothing is known, that is, no standards of the breed are described.

In 2008, the breeder of the Savannah breed from Pennsylvania, Chris Shirk, recognized recognized in photos with cats asher of his pets and accused Lifestyle Pets of fraud, resulting in the US company "US Fish and Wildlife" conducted a judicial investigation. Analyzes of blood samples taken from the alleged parents of Ashera were sent to the Netherlands, where the official state forensic laboratory is located.

The results of the DNA test obtained in the Netherlands proved that Kriss Shirk is right, and that in the photos showing the breed of asher cats, his pets - domestic savannahs are really taken off. Simon Brown, a representative of the company Lifestyle Pets was declared a fraud and is currently on the wanted list. However, despite the exposure, speculations on the theme of the breed of cats asher have not abated until now and the breed continues to actively develop.
