What is the difference between the Persian and the British cats?

1. Breed Origin & Genetic Background

British Longhair

• Descends from the British Shorthair, crossed with the Persian.
• Its longhair trait comes from recessive genes introduced through Persian decades ago.
• Recognized as a separate breed by many European registries, with recognition still developing elsewhere.
• Fundamentally, a British Shorthair in long fur.

How the British Longhair Actually Came to Be

1. Rebuilding after World Wars I & II

After both World Wars, the British Shorthair population was nearly wiped out. To rebuild the breed, breeders introduced:

• Persian (for body type, head shape, and coat density)
• Other sturdy breeds (e.g., Russian Blue)

Persian carried a recessive longhair gene.

2. The longhair gene stayed hidden

When Persian were bred with British Shorthairs:

• Most kittens were shorthaired
• Some carried the longhair gene silently

When two carriers were later bred together:

• Longhaired kittens appeared unexpectedly

These cats looked like British Shorthairs in every structural way — just with long fur.

Dollface Persian

• A traditional Persian cat, not a separate breed.
• “Dollface” refers to the original Persian look, before extreme flat-face breeding became fashionable.
• Genetically, still 100% Persian — just without the modern, extreme brachycephalic features.

2. Head Shape & Facial Structure (the Biggest Visual Difference)

British Longhair

• Head: Large and round, yet structured
• Nose: Short and straight, yet clearly defined
• Profile: A slight curve, never flat
• Muzzle: Firm, broad, and well-defined
• Eyes: Large and round, set wide apart

Dollface Persian

• Head: Very round and soft
• Nose: Short, but longer than a show Persian’s
• Profile: A gentle slope with a softer transition
• Muzzle: Shorter and less pronounced
• Eyes: Large and round, often slightly more prominent

British Longhair faces look solid and teddy-bear-like

Dollface Persian look soft, sweet, and baby-like

3. Body Type & Bone Structure

British Longhair

• Body: Cobby, yet athletic
• Bone: Heavy, solid, and muscular
• Legs: Short to medium and thick
• Tail: Thick, with a blunt tip

Dollface Persian

• Body: Cobby and compact
• Bone: Heavy, with a softer overall silhouette
• Legs: Short, giving a lower-to-the-ground look
• Tail: Long and flowing, often plume-like

British Longhair = a plush tank

Dollface Persian = a fluffy marshmallow

4. Coat Texture & Maintenance

British Longhair

• Coat: Dense and plush, slightly crisp
• Texture: More a thick velvet than a silk
• Undercoat: Heavy
• Grooming: Moderate (2–3 times a week)

Dollface Persian

• Coat: Very long, flowing, and silky
• Texture: Fine and light
• Undercoat: Lighter, but tangles easily
• Grooming: High (daily grooming recommended)

5. Temperament & Behavior

British Longhair

• Calm, reserved, quietly affectionate
• Less demanding of attention
• Often prefers being near you rather than on you
• Independent, yet loyal

Dollface Persian

• Extremely gentle and people-oriented
• More emotionally expressive
• Enjoys laps and close contact
• Slightly more sensitive to changes in environment

British Longhair = polite, dignified companion

Dollface Persian = sweet, devoted lap cat

6. Health Considerations

British Longhair

• Generally robust
• Low risk of breathing issues
• Fewer eye and tear-duct problems
• Prone mainly to typical large-breed issues if overfed

Dollface Persian

Healthier than flat-faced Persian, though still:

• Mild tear staining
• Occasional breathing sensitivity
• Requires more facial and coat care

British Longhair are hardier overall

Dollface Persian are healthier than show Persian but still delicate

Are your kittens hypoallergenic?

Studies show there is no such thing as a truly hypoallergenic cat. All cats produce the allergen in their saliva, and even hairless cats produce dander.

Because our cats enjoy the very best nutrition and grooming, they tend to shed less and carry fewer allergens. Still, it depends on each person’s individual tolerance — and on keeping up that same standard of nutrition and grooming for their pet.

Do you ship to other states or countries?

We are happy to arrange an in-cabin pet nanny to deliver your kitten to any national airport in the US. Fees vary by destination and travel dates, ranging from $800 to $1,500 within the US. For international deliveries, courier prices range from $1,500 to $3,000.
