Only 6?
As a large breed, life expectancy is just 8-10 years & Swagger had cancer. My eldest Daughter's bull mastiff, Sammi, contracted cancer & died at 5. Here is Sammi with me...
Sammi was my buddy. She was a gentle, lovable girl & is missed, just as Swagger will be missed.
RIP Swagger!

That there was what you call a mitted blue point. The coloring is much lighter and it has "mittens" on it's feet. Mine has no mittens since the dark brown color goes all the way down all 4 legs. She's a Seal Point Lynx Ragdoll. Her baby has short fur like the Siamese father and is still coloring in because they are all born white. The colors start coming in shortly thereafter and take about 3 years to be fully colored in. The pro breeders can tell within a few weeks whether they have a pet level cat or a breeder level cat. The symmetry of the markings is the primary determiner of that. My momma cat has mirror image markings in that one side of her that "mirrors" the other side of her from nose to tail with exactly the same color and patterns on both sides including the underside. Breeder females like her fetch $3000 or more on the open market because even their pet level kittens can bring in $1000 and up. I got mine for $350 for the pair which included spaying of both, all their vet bills for shots, treatment, etc. Shelters almost always spay females, even breeder level cats since they apparently leave their documentation at home. Obviously I am housing a "dreamer" and her illegal alien mother.?

Exactly Ag. Some wine friends of ours raised Persians for many years. When they sold one, the buyer didn't get the papers until after they got proof that the cat was spayed or neutered. Reason being you don't want to sell a cat with Grand Champion bloodlines to someone who just might be getting into (or is in) the breeding business, and you'd be giving potential competition a jump start on you. You want papers for an unfixed cat? That will be triple, thank you very much.
In light of that, interesting that Norman was running around not fixed until the rescue organization that originally found him then had him neutered. Someone let a breeder cat get on the loose and not go looking for him? My research tells me Norm is way above "pet" quality as those things go. I've mentioned Norm is a rescue from a rescue. He got out of the person's barn who was sheltering him, and wound up a mile down the road in my friend's brother in law's yard.
