About

One of the oldest natural breeds, originating from Thailand's Korat plateau where it is called "Si-Sawat" (meaning good fortune) and given as gifts to newlyweds; its silver-blue coat has silver-tipped guard hairs that create a luminous halo effect, and its dense bone structure makes it noticeably heavier than it looks.
