| The Dwelf is currently being developed using foundation cats from the Munchkin, Sphynx and American Curl Breeds. Each of these breeds have a single trait that makes them distinct from all other breeds. The DWELF combines these three independent traits to form a truly unique breed of cat that is different from each of the contributing foundation breeds. These three traits are independent of each other and when combined pose no harm to the health and well being of the cats. The Appearance..... The Dwelf is a small, hairless cat with short legs and slightly curled ears. The short body, neck and legs are heavily muscled giving the cat a solid, stout appearance. The back legs may be slightly longer than the front raising the backline from the shoulders to the hips & ending with a long whip-like tail. The short legs do not hamper the mobility of the cat where they cannot jump and they can most assuredly climb! The broad based ears are not curled back tightly in a horizontal crimp as in the American Curls, but instead are slightly curled in a vertical crimp making them stand more upright and flared open giving the impression of an elf's ears. The ears curve towards each other in smooth graceful lines. |
