| A good show Birman requires a round, broad head with full cheeks and a medium sized nose. |
| The ideal Birman is a large, strongly built, elongated and stocky cat, neither svelte nor cobby. |
| Originally from California in the 1960's, the Ragdoll came from a white longhair and a seal point Birman. |
| My Birman, Karma, was quite offended at this intrusion, but he finally adapted. |
| The Birman chin should be well developed, and the eyes not round but with a slightly flattened top. |
| This process was accelerated, one suspects, by the introduction of colorpoint longhairs to Birman breeding programs. |
