It is quite hard to tell that hes a BSH because of all his fur  but his face is definetly BSH, its not as flat as a persians, its just hard to look past all the fur lol, we got his breeding certificate, and through the line are some BSH Longhair Variants, I to have been looking into the breed and found that there recognised as a breed and can be shown in certain countries. Heres a pic of Hank, and as ive said, it is quite hard to tell because of all the fluff

That's what I thought. From the photos I have looked at I honestly can't tell the difference between the British longhair and Doll Faced Persians, they're both as lovely as each other. Does anyone know if there is a fandamental difference? Or are they basically the same?
I now see that the British Longhair is a recognised breed by TICA. It doesn't look like it is recognised by the GCCF though (although I could be wrong).
Also, I'm confused as to why they are being bred under the breed names of Lowlander and Britania if they are already recognised by a governing body like TICA as the British Longhair. Isn't that a bit pointless? Or have i got the wrong end of the stick?
Hmm, cats are confusing!
