An Affectionate Dream
Beautiful genetics matter, but temperament is equally important in our breeding program.
Bear is exceptionally affectionate and has been an absolute dream from the beginning. He enjoys attention, seeks out companionship, and has the gentle, loving presence we hope to preserve in future Smoky Mountain Maine Coon generations.
We could not be happier with him. His combination of beauty, affection, and calm confidence makes him everything we hoped for in a future sire.
Bear is also expected to mature into a very substantial male. His father is an impressive, large European Maine Coon, and Bear is already showing the promise of following in his footsteps.
Genetic & Health Highlights
Selected results that are important to Bear’s appearance, breeding potential, and responsible pairing plan.
Dominant Blue Eyes
Genetically confirmed for one copy of the Rociri Elvis Dominant Blue Eyes variant, genotype RE/N.
Silver Shaded Heritage
Bear is a black silver shaded male with a luminous pale undercoat and refined shaded coloring.
Carries Dilute
Genotype D/d means Bear may pass the dilute gene associated with blue coloring to some offspring.
Carries Solid
His A/a agouti result means he carries the recessive non-agouti gene associated with solid and smoke coats.
Longhair Genetics
Homozygous for the tested M4 longhair variant, supporting the luxurious coat expected in a European Maine Coon.
Blood Type A
Genetically identified as blood type A with genotype A/b, carrying one recessive blood-type B variant.
HCM-MC Clear
Non-carrier for the tested MYBPC3 A31P variant associated with Maine Coon hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
SMA Clear
Non-carrier for the tested variant associated with spinal muscular atrophy in Maine Coons.
Additional Screening
Non-carrier for the tested PKDef, PKD1, PRA-rdAc, cystinuria, MDR1, and congenital hypothyroidism variants.
Responsible pairing plan:
Bear will be paired only with genetically appropriate,
non-DBE females. Two DBE cats will not be bred together.
Bear is also a carrier of the recessive Factor XI variant identified in his report. He will be paired only with females tested clear for this variant. Carrier status does not mean that he is affected, but it is important when selecting compatible mates.

Bear’s Future at Smoky Mountain Maine Coons
Our newest sire will soon begin contributing to carefully selected future pairings.
We are especially excited about Bear’s potential in our silver, shaded, smoke, and carefully planned Dominant Blue Eyes lines. Each pairing will be selected with close attention to health, compatibility, color genetics, structure, and temperament.
Our goal is never simply to produce a particular color or eye trait. Every breeding decision must first support the health, quality, and long-term well-being of the kittens and their families.
