The Silver Persian as Janice Reichle (30 years of breeding silvers) put it has long been referred to as the "Rolls Royce" of the cat world. They are the most sot after color among Persians and are very popular in movies, commercial and magazines.

When you first look at a silver persian you see those huge round beautiful dark green or bluish-green eyes. We love to sit all day long looking into those eyes as they were like jewels reflecting light changing color. The top silver persian breeders will only colorbreed (meaning silver to silver breedings only) their lines and occasionally had a black, blue, or smoke persian in the lines to keep the lines healthy and vigor as well as add size and weight.

The Golden Persian is recessive to the silver and for many years before this color was accepted in the 1970's the breeders would just place these kittens as pets but a few interested breeders were working on this color and developed a beautiful apricot/honey colored golden with the contrast of the dark green or blue-green eyes. The color in recent years is becoming more popular and excepted more in the shows.

The Silver Persian is a persian in smaller stature but they make up for it in their beautiful silver tipped white coats and green eyes. They are also the most outgoing of persians with unique personalities. They are very intelligent, playful, affectionate and are most part great lap warmers. They enjoy any evening on the lap of someone they loved while watching TV. The Silver Persian is not couch potatoes compared to other persians. They are sensitive to their surroundings and it's important to socialize them at an early age.

They do require a lot of grooming and starting at an early age is very important to avoid grooming problems as adults. They also have more of a sensitive skin and require gentle handing and combing will make a difference in your cat's temperament.

Our focus in our persians is the type, cobby bodies, long dripping coats, tiny ears, a cute button of a nose (but not mush ugly) and huge big green/blue green eyes. Our Silver Persians have sweet personalities and make a wonderful addition to most homes. Our focus is not only the Silver Persians correct beautiful clear color and type but temperament is very important. You can have a beautiful cat to show but if he/she doesn't want to be handled it would be much of a cat. Our Silver Persians is our first love and at dinner time when you look down at a giant fuzzy silver tipped carpet with 6 pairs of green eyes looking up at you, it can put a smile on your face!
