</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <U>About our  Polydactyl line:</U></div> <bR> <div> Even though about 40 % of the original Maine Coon breed was supposedly Polydactyl, some associations have closed the doors on most of these precious lines. To my knowledge, by the year 1999,  only one active Polydactyl line was left in our breed. A couple have been added by foundation breeders since then. Polydactylism is <U>naturally</U> a wonderful trait of our breed. It is NOT a harmful mutation or deformity.</div> <bR> <div> We decided in 2000 to start a new Polydactyl line here in Canada. We were very enthusiastic about this new creation at the time and proudly called it "The Masterweaver Line". ...............Over the years we have poured a lot of passion into these cats - in order to improve their weaknesses and enhance their natural strenghts.  Of course the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but we think that the project is slowly turning into fine piece of art.</div> <bR> <div> The strengths of our Poly line is extreme affection, heavy bonedness, a moderate type, super coat, wonderful weight and perfect gums and teeth. Since good quality Polydactyl Maine Coons are very rare we had basically kept everything with Poly feet for our own breeding program in the past. We have only recently started to release the first Poly kittens into the gene pool. Please e-mail us for more information on Polydactylism in Maine Coons.</div> <bR> <div> Before you write with questions, we encourage you to visit these great websites  with tons of  information on the topic: </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~grins/polydactylmainecoons/index.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~grins/polyd"><U>http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~grins/polydactylmainecoons/index.html</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.polytrak.net:80/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.polytrak.net:80/"><U>http://www.polytrak.net:80/</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
