Thank you, Lescoy!
*sigh* unfortunately it would cost WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much for my family to get one right now. I could get a locally bred Exotic for roughly 300 EURO or one that has American champion bloodlines for 700 EURO. To ship it all the way to Hong Kong would cost me around 1400+ Euro. Obviously my family would most likely be allergic to the exotic so that's a no. It's just much too much.
Thanks so much for your help anyway, Lescoy. Getting a Siberian will have to be put on the back-burner for now.
toiletduck - Hi - the Exotics are nice - I've handled them at Shows. You are right though the allergy thing would be there for sure.
At least though you have weighed it up and been able to make an informed decision before you really got 'into it'.
Meantime - I'll keep you posted here on my Siberian!
