Videos Domestic Shorthair Breed Information
A domestic shorthaired cat (DSH) is the proper
name for a shorthaired cat that does not have
a pedigree or belong to a recognised
cat breed.
Domestic shorthaired cats are characterised by a wide range of
colouring and typically 'revert to type' after a few
generations, which means they express their coats as a tabby. This can be any color or combination of
colors. They also exhibit a wide range of physical characteristics,
and as a result, domestic shorthaired cats in different countries
tend to look different in body shape and size, as they are working
from differing gene pools. DSH cats in
Asia tend to have a build similar to Siamese or Tonkanese
purebreds, while European and American varieties have a thicker,
heavier build.
