The Abyssinian
|
This
breed is a rare combination of intelligence, good
looks, great eyes and lovely coat colours.Well proportioned
bodies, a wedged head, large ears and lovely almond-shaped
green or gold eyes. That's an Abyssinian for you.
No one knows where the Abyssinian breed originated.
Some people say it was Egypt, others say it was
India.
The peculiarity of the Abyssinian coat is in the
many, repeating bands of colours in each strand
of hair.
