The Exotic Shorthair is a breed of cat developed to be a shorthaired version of the Persian. The Exotic Shorthair is similar to the Persian in many ways, including temperament and conformation[citation needed], with the exception of the short dense coat. It has even inherited much of the Persian's health problems
The Persian was used as an outcross secretly by some American Shorthair (ASH) breeders in the late 1950s to "improve" their breed. The hybrid look gained recognition in the show ring but other breeders[who?] unhappy with the changes successfully pushed for new breed standards that would disqualify ASH that showed signs of hybridization
