About the British Longhair
The British Longhair is essentially the long-haired version of the British Shorthair, sharing the same sturdy, cobby body type and sweet temperament. It is distinguished by its semi-long, dense, and plush coat that requires more grooming. This breed is calm, easygoing, and affectionate, maintaining the quintessential "teddy bear" quality in a more luxurious, fluffy package. It is recognized as a separate breed or a variety in many registries.
