SHUNRA BURMESE, SHAELUM LANE PONY STUD

The Burmese breed began in the 1930's , when a Dr Joseph Thompson, returned from Burma to the United States with a little brown female named "Wong Mau".  Dr Thompson, through selectively breeding Wong Mau to Siamese, established that the Burmese was a breed in it own right. As a result of the breeding with Siamese, dilute colors were occasionally born, and later, recognised as accepted colors for Burmese.  There are ten recognised colors in Australia, Brown (Sable), Chocolate (Champagne), Blue, Cream, Lilac (Platinum), Red, Brown Tortie, Chocolate Tortie, Blue Tortie and Lilac Tortie.

Burmese cats are a  shorthaired cat of medium build, and surprisingly, are heavier than their size portrays. The males do tend to be slightly heavier than the females, and all have a temperament to die for. Burmese are very social, they do love to be everywhere their human "companions" are, and can be dog like in nature, i have had one who would play fetch all day long, and loved to go to work with my husband Glenn. I have found they are also ideal companions for children, as i never have a problem with them annoying my children or my children annoying them. My son loves to cuddle the cats and kittens, and they love to cuddle him, with Dusty our tonkinese hogging his bed every night.

Burmese with their beautiful golden eyes, and intent to be with you no matter what you are doing, can infiltrate your heart and soul. Once you have been owned by a burmese, there is no turning back.........
