Tonkinese
The Tonkinese, also known as the Vietnamese cat, is not from Vietnam but a purebred short-haired breed produced by crossing the Siamese with the Burmese, first appearing in North America in the 1930s. With pointed coloring softer than the Siamese and a short, silky coat like the Burmese, the Tonkinese is famously affectionate, active, and people-oriented.
Persian
The Persian cat, also called Persian, Chinchilla, or Himalayan, with the Latin name Persian, represents nobility in people's minds. In China, most people's first pet cat was a Persian. However, most kept Persians are not purebred but non-purebred bred by merchants to meet the market; purebred Persians cost over a thousand dollars. Originating in Persia (Iran), it was developed in Britain over more than 100 years from Afghan longhair and Angora cats.
Siamese
The Siamese cat, also called the Thai cat, with English name Siamese, traces its origins to Thailand in the 14th century from non-purebred Asian cats. Once living in royal palaces and temples, it was later given as a diplomatic gift to other countries. Famous for its striking color points, blue almond eyes, and vocal, affectionate personality, the Siamese is a beloved and distinctive breed.
Egyptian Mau
The Egyptian Mau (Felinae) is found worldwide. Although called the Egyptian Mau, it cannot be confirmed that it originated in Egypt; however, because its image and written records appear in ancient Egyptian murals, steles, and papyrus scrolls, people believe its ancestor is the African wildcat. In the 1950s, the Egyptian Mau was introduced to the United States and Britain, and in 1968 it won awards in formal competitions.

When is a hamster’s estrus period?
Hamsters start estrus about one month after birth but should not breed then (not yet adult); best to breed after 3 months. The best breeding season is April-October when temperatures suit them. During estrus they become very active-running, jumping, and squeaking.
When are hamsters weaned?
Hamsters can be weaned at 3 weeks, extended if slow or weak. But by 1 month separate them individually to prevent early or inbred breeding; they mature early, so separation avoids harmful early/inbred reproduction.
What dogs are best to breed with a Tibetan Mastiff?
Good breeds to pair with a Tibetan Mastiff include the Caucasian Shepherd, Siberian Husky, and German Shepherd. The Tibetan Mastiff is a very fierce large breed and should not be paired with small, gentle dogs. Crossing it with a strong large breed generally produces robust, healthy offspring.
