SUMMARY OF ABOVE ASSESSMENTS (Please comment on any tendencies/defects noted in
particular age groups, coat styles or sexes, probable inheritable/congenital defects and
health/behavioral problems associated with any Peterbald characteristics):
I have seen extremely few medical problems and no congenital problems in over 40 cats/kittens.
I was expecting skin and eye problems due to the lack of coat but have not see this.
I have not seen certain conditions such as fleas, skin infections, self-trauma barbering that are
common in other breeds.
OVERALL EVALUATION/ADVICE (Please comment on any unusual requirements/tendencies for
the Peterbald breed, and note comparisons to cats in different age groups, sexes, coat types, etc., as well
as to other breeds. Include your recommendations for improvement of deficiencies noted or any
special care needed):
I have been pleasantly surprised with working with the breed. They tend to have very nice
personalities and few medical issues. Other long-standing breeds such as Persians have many
more respiratory and eye problems but are still very popular throughout the world. The
Peterbald definitely is the cat of choice for people with asthma and/or allergies.
Mrs. Mannino has done an excellent job in only selecting to breed her healthiest cats. Not all
breeders (of ANY breed) are willing to make difficult decisions and sometimes will choose
quantity over quality. I feel that Mrs. Mannino’s selection process for QUALITY especially in
her first few years is the reason we see very few medical cases.
