From my understanding Peruvians have a rosette "cowlick" on each rump...that's what makes the hair flow the way it does. Here is an excerpt from the following link
Description: The Peruvian has long hair all over its body. Its topcoat can grow up to 2 feet long, while its undercoat usually grows no longer than 7 inches. The hair parts naturally straight down the spine. Peruvians that are to be shown must have two rosettes on each side of the rump, and their hair should fan out so that it is difficult to tell the back from the front.

I've actually been curious about what my boys are. I think that Bernie is a Teddy and Bert could be an American-Abyssinian cross? Can anyone confirm? I honestly just started learning about the different breeds recently.

Bernie (left) is super fuzzy and is starting to grow what I hope will become a very impressive "butt-mane"

I think Bert is a cross because he's got this little faux hawk that goes all the way down his back!

One ridgeback mix and the other is a American shorthair, I believe.

I have one female baby Teddy named Clover. Apparently there are two types of Teddies- Teddies and silk teddies, silk teddies having soft, plushy fur as opposed to rough fur. I have a silk Teddy and she's more than I ever could've asked for. She has the best temper and loves to be snuggled. She's very quiet and is perfect. Her only flaw is that she has a cataract in her left eye. :/

2 Crested Sows (a brown Agouti with white patches, Bernadette, and a silver Agouti with white patches, Genevieve) , 2 Ridgeback Silkie/Peruvians (A jet-black boar, Sebastian, and a Himilayan, Charles. Their ridge only appears when their fur is cut short, and they have the fur of a Silkie with the formation of a Peruvian ), an Abyssinian/Peruvian Sow (Black and white with a single brown ear, Beatrice) , and a Texel sow (Lilac/grey in color, Charlotte).

I have an American, an Abyssinian, a Silkie (Sheltie) and two Himalayans. Where is the Himalayan option? Does "Himalayan" just refer to coloring, rather than breed? Or should I check "other" because Himalayan is a true breed? *confused*
