MAINE WAVES I

 
 

Ours good and old MainCoon, everyone already knows. Weigh of 5 to 12 kg, pelagem smooth and are-long and a lot popular in the world all , now also in Brazil. What many do not know, however , is that already existed copy of the race MaineCoon with pelagem undulated... Them called “MaineWaves” (wave , of the English, wave) or MaineCoons Rex (rex, in the jargon of the creation of animals, term that assigns pelagem crisp , as a cat of the race Cornish Rex, by example). Although never they accepted by the gatofilia world, the first MaineCoon Rex arose in the great britain, in the end of the years 80 and were little widespread.

“Houve and still there is a lot opposition regarding them, therefore the majority of the creators of MaineCoon faces to pelagem crisp as a detour of the standard and does not like the fact of her incidir in the race”, second the English creator David Brinicombe, owner of 4 copy of MaineCoon Rex and author of the Name “MaineWaves”.

Origin's Description
 
 

Everything gives due to suspicion triggered of some cases of sudden death in MaineWaves, of that the gene Rex would be associated to some lethal genetic factor. It based in that premise, to older British entity of the race, the MaineCoon Cat Club (MCCC), declared in 1994 that the gene of the pelagem crisp, baptized of gene Rex, should be eliminated of the creation. It arrived publish a list with the name of the cats supposedly bearers of the malfadado gene, in the intuito of that went remote of the breeding.

“A suspects of the connection of the gene Rex with a lethal factor never was confirmed, by the way not even scientifically was studied, but served for become the MaineWaves still more renegade”, comments Brinicombe, that in 1996 was suspended by the MCCC, under the accusation of still promote matings between copy possibly bearers of the gene Rex. “The club knew that the term MaineWaves to have been invented by me and concluded that I be intending form a new breed. In fact, never I had this intention , to because, in my view, the MaineWaves are MaineCoons 100% pure; alone I created a specific name for them for that went possible mentions-the of way differentiated, barely a question of communication; finally, I promoted even the acasalamento between cats suspicion of carry the gene Rex, but because I will want to be sure of that really carried him, before of eliminates-the arbitrarily It explains the English.

Believes-itself that the gene Rex has arisen in the breed as result of a mutation spontaneous or like genetic inheritance of cats without definite race, with the which the MaineCoon was mixed us years 60. It knows himself about the existence of MaineWaves not alone in the great britain, but also in the OR OR and Germany. In the however, healthy one few and there is not news of that have intention of spear them as new race. “No I see reason for do of the MaineCoon Rex a race”, thinks Brinicombe. “Para begin, already races of pelagem semilonga exist and crisp, as Read Perm; beyond the more, if will have the idea of become the MaineWave a race, such alone project should be mischievious ahead case the possibility of relation between the gene Rex and the sudden deaths went properly researched and remote”, evaluates the English creator.
