My grandma had one when I was younger, she was very beautiful, as well as being fairly laid-back. Temperament wise he was very similar to the British shorthair, obviously with more coat care required. |

They are a type of persian with a tipped white coat and green eyes. They are very pretty but some can be feisty lol! You will have to make sure they are groomed regularly - every day until you can gauge the thickness, texture of the coat and then reassess. |

As Candice says, Chinchillas are a type of Persian although they don't usually have the extreme type of the other Persians. They can be laid back although they also tend to have a rather superior side to their nature!! They think they are so much better than all the others in the Persian section and with the stunning tipped coat, gorgeous green eyes lined with 'eye-liner' and pink nose also edged with what looks like black eye-liner. They do need daily grooming as all the Persians do but if this has been maintained by the previous owners there shouldn't be a problem. |
