Devon Rex

Because of the limited genepool the Devon Rex has (high inbreeding-percentage and low immune-systems), I feel it's imperative to add more genes via Outcross-breeding in my breeding programme.

My Catclub allows me to use different breeds to cross with the Devon Rex. The first such outcross-breeding has been with a European Shorthair and from that litter, Pebbles remained in the Cattery. Her brother Fred went to another cattery to hopefully add some of his genes to the Devon Rex genepool.

For my two "real" Devon Rex girls I was fortunate enough to get a beautiful brown Devon Rex variant (Devon x Asian) from Kate Ekanger, Cattery Cloudborn. We expect his first litter in may 2010.

Ever since I came in touch with a Devon Rex, I was smitten. This breed with it's sweet, inquisitive, affectionate manner won me over right away.

Their look is never forgotten, once seen and the contrast with the big, hairy Maine Coon is of course striking.

Both breeds are easy going and social, so there's no problems here between them.

My husband and I  love to feel and cuddle their warm, curly-haired bodies: an investment that gives an immediate,  high interest.
