 Doober's PurrDolls was started in 2003. At the time I had a dog, her name was Tera, and she was a Pit Bull Terrier, and I dedicate this page to her, and all the Pits out there. I loved Tera Doo so much, I miss her real bad. Tera loved all my cats and was the best dog in the world, She even mothered a litter of kittens, when someone brought me orphan babies. Pit Bulls are so misjudged, and I feel this breed has been treated so bad, just because of the name. It breaks my heart, it's the owners fault, not the dogs.
Tera lived to be 17 years old, and was older than both my boys, she was awesome with them. After having to watch her go to sleep, I decided no way can I do another dog. And I really needed another animal to fuss on. So... I always wanted a White Persian Cat. And lucky me, MeHa Mercedes was born 3 days before Tera died. Oh, I really wanted her, and I got her. So we started our small cage less cattery, Doober's PurrDolls. Doober is a nickname I have had since I was just a little girl, and Purr well, cats purr... And Doll, because they are Doll Face Persians. Doll faces are very cute, and very soft. Their eyes do get some goobers, but not as bad as the standard type Persian. They have great personalities and are very loyal. All my kittens are raised underfoot! |
 DoobersDoll Lady Sapphire Blu and her Mom, MeHa Mercedes DooMeHa is now no longer with me either, I am heartbroken again... RIP March 18, 2003 - November 15, 2010 MeHa started Doober's Purrdolls, and unfortunately, she is no longer with us, MeHa died on November 15th, 2010. There was nothing more I could do for her, I really tried. I will always miss you, and appreciate everything you did for me, we all will Momma... All the females I breed were born to me as Descendent of MeHa's. I no longer have any of her daughters breeding as they are very old now. Recently we lost DoobersDoll Tera Shadow Doo at 17 years old, and DoobersDoll Lady Sapphire Blu at 18 years old, both were her daughters. The others have been retired and her great granddaughters are taking their place. After 20 years I am on my fourth and fifth generation. It was very tough to get back up without MeHa, but we are all doing fine now. MeHa was such a pro.
Nice to meet you, Debbie  |

About Persians...
If you want your cats bouncing around like hyperactive
popcorn, don't buy a Persian. Persians are perfect companions, if you like
placid, sweet-tempered cats. Don't count on using your Persian pal as a furry
doorstop, however. They love to play between periods of regal lounging on your
favorite davenport. Proponents say that Persians do not deserve their
'furniture with fur' reputation; they are intelligent, just not as inquisitive
as some breeds, and not as active. Persians are devoted to their humans, but can
be selective in conferring that honor. You must earn their trust and love. They
crave affection and love to be petted and fussed over, but won't harass you for
attention the way some breeds will. They will, however, let their feelings be
known if they are not getting the requisite amount of attention. Owning a
Persian requires a significant time commitment. That beautiful coat requires
daily grooming to keep it in good condition and free of mats. Because of the
long coat and docile temperament, Persians should be considered indoor-only
pets. Many Persian fanciers keep at least part of the coat clipped,
particularly the hindquarters and around the anus to avoid the accumulation of
feces. This should be done, though, only if the cat will not be shown soon.
Persian Cat Breed Traits
Over the years, the show trend has been toward a flatter, more extreme facial type for the Persian. This troubles some fanciers, who feel the extreme face can be harmful to the breed. Reported problems include upper respiratory problems, 'weepy' eyes, malocclusions, and birthing difficulties. The Peke-face red Persian, named after the Pekingese dog, has an even more extreme facial arrangement. For those who like a less extreme facial arrangement, the Traditional Cat Association (TCA) recognizes and promotes the Traditional Persian, also called the Doll Face Persian. This type possesses a less extreme look and emphasizes the sweet expression.
Persians come in many colors and patterns. The various colors, along with the breed itself, have a long history of selective breeding. Breeders have worked long and hard to perfect each, and each breeder usually specializes in a few favorites. Within the divisions are a multitude of colors and patterns, adding up to more than 80 varieties. The body and face type does differ slightly from one color to the next, and therefore judges are given some leeway in judging. The overall balance is more important than individual traits.
Interested in the history of the Persian cat breed?
Persians have enjoyed a long reign in the cat fancy and have featured prominently in shows since 1871, the year of the first modern cat show held at London's Crystal Palace. At this famous affair, organized by the 'father of the cat fancy,' Harrison Weir, many representatives of the breed were present, starting a supremacy that continues today.Persians have been around for much longer than 125 years. Long haired cats, including the ancestors of the modern Persian and Angora breeds, were first seen in Europe in the mid- to late 1500s, introduced by Roman and Phoenician caravans from Persia (now Iran) and Turkey, according to documents of the era. Researchers believe the recessive gene for long hair appeared spontaneously in the cat population in the cold mountainous areas of Persia. An Italian traveler by the name of Pietro della Valle (1586?1652) is credited with bringing Persian cats to the European world in the 1600s. Both Angora and Persian cats are mentioned in the manuscript Voyages de Pietro della Valle. He described the Persians as gray with very long, silky, glossy fur. He noted that the cats resided in the province of Khorazan in Persia, and that they came from India with the Portuguese. Other travelers brought Persian and Angora cats into France and then into England, causing them to be called 'French cats' for a number of years. These cats quickly became popular in Britain. During this time and for centuries after, the Turkish Angora and Persian varieties (among others) were commonly crossed. At first, Angoras were preferred for their silky white coats. Eventually, however, the British fanciers came to favor the stockier Persian conformation. By the time of Weir's cat show in 1871, distinct differences between the Persian and the Angora could be seen, the former being stockier with small, rounded ears, and the latter being slender and tall-eared. By the early 1900s the Persian had become overwhelmingly popular. Blue Persians were particularly prized, probably because Queen Victoria owned two. In the early 1900s the British Governing Council of the Cat Fancy decided that the Persian, as well as the Angora and Russian Longhairs, should be known simply as Longhairs, a policy that continues today. Each color is considered a separate breed in the British cat fancy. In North America, however, the Persian is considered one breed, regardless of color. Persians were imported to America in the late 1800s, where they were enthusiastically received. The Persian quickly shoved aside the competition and quickly took its place as the top cat. Using British standards as a starting point, American breeders began their own breeding programs to refine the coat, color, and conformation. Soon the American Persian developed a style of its own and evolved into the type we see today.
