"ORIGIN" SIAMESE

Some explanations for, finally, seeing there more clearly ............

----- PREAMBLE -----

First of all, excuse me for my english. Indeed, my prime language is french.

This document, these pages, engage only me. I assume the whole responsibility for it.

Nevertheless, this study is built most objectively possible. Indeed, I had many contacts with people of different countries. I also consulted many Web sites.

The love that I carry to Siamese is immense. So I wished to give the things in order, so that each one sees there a little more clearly.

	Some History .............	Where come from the siamese ? Whitch is his History ?
	Some terminology .....	Old-style siamese, Traditionnel siamese, Thaï, ................ not easy for us to find there !!!! The standards
	And now ????.............	Right now, what 's happened in some different countries ?
	Felin breed created from siamese cat ........	Many breeders have crossed siamese with other breeds in order to create new breeds. What are these breeds ?

Thank you with you to give me your impressions, critics and/or appreciations are the welcome...........
