3399.0. "CFA BREED STATISTICS" by WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JO (set home/cat_max=infinity) Wed Mar 07 1990 18:00

    For those of you that may be interested, the March issue of the
    CFA Almanac contained registration information for the period of
    January 1, 1989 through December 31, 1989.
    
    For example, in the Birman breed (gee, wonder why I chose that breed?)
    the stats were:
    
    chocolate point males 	4
    chocolate point females	1
    seal point males 		230
    seal point females		325
    blue point males		137
    blue point females		216
    lilac point males		1
    lilac point females		4
    
    for a total of		918!! for 1989
    
    For the year of 1988, there were 731, so we are growing.
    
    Okay, so now, I am sure you are all wondering why I would enter
    stuff like this.  Well, the Alamanc also lists all the breeds by
    registrations, so if any of you want to know how many of something,
    I will try and find time to look it up and enter it for you.
    
    Also, here is the list of breeds, ranked by number of registered,
    or popularity if you see it that way.
