Introducing the Bombay Dog Breed:
The Bombay is not actually a dog breed but rather a type of cat that was developed in the United States in the 1950s by crossing sable Burmese with black American Shorthairs. The result was a sleek, shiny-coated cat with a unique appearance and personality traits that have made it popular among feline enthusiasts.
Here are some key characteristics of the Bombay cat (not dog) for your reference:
- Lifespan: Typically between 12 and 16 years with proper care.
- Coat Length: Short to medium in length; one of its defining features is its close-lying, satiny fur.
- Aliases: Sometimes referred to as “Mini Panther” or “Seal Lynx Point” due to its sleek black coat and golden eyes.
- Height: Medium build; adults usually weigh around 8 to 12 pounds.
- Place of Origin: Developed in the United States through selective breeding.
- Body Size: Compact and muscular with a stocky frame.
- Shedding Level: Moderate shedder; regular grooming can help manage hair distribution throughout the home.
- Trainability: Highly social and intelligent, making them relatively easy to train compared to other cats. They enjoy participating in interactive play and activities.
Please note that any references to the Bombay as a dog breed would be incorrect since this name applies exclusively to the specific type of cat mentioned above.
