The article on Manx Syndrome is out dated and incorrect I'm not concerned about letting people know the Manx breed has genetic limitations, I have warnings about it on my website as well. Reputable breeders would never try to hide, cover up or deceive potential owners from the facts. However, I am very passionate about people knowing the "term" Manx Syndrome is just that, a "term". It is what is used by some as a description for illnesses seen by some in the Manx breed cat. However, the illnesses that are covered by the "term" happen in other breeds of animals as well as humans such as spina bifida, incontinence and rectal prolaspe, they're not only seen in the Manx breed. Therefore, those who use it are misrepresenting themselves and the breed.  Please refer to http://www.manxcats.com/myths.htm

Jean Brown who is one of the authors of this article has told me she has tried to update this article to reflect the above information however it has not happened due to being unable to get in touch with Paul Osmond, would he please rely to her or me so this can be updated.
