Breeding with Variants

Balinese breeders constantly breed back to top quality Siamese to improve the type and eye colour of Balinese. If you mate a Siamese (or Oriental Shorthair) with a Balinese (or Javanese) you will get in the first generation short-haired Balinese (or Javanese), known as Variant cats. Variants have a short, plush coat. Variants are invaluable in a Balinese breeding programme as they carry the recessive long hair gene which they pass on when mated back to a long-haired Balinese or to another Variant.
