Appearance: Although they appear very like the Cornish
Rex, the Devon Rex shares no genetic links with its geographic
neighbour. Like the Cornish, they have the distinctive wavy
coat, but both sets of guard hairs are present and they are
much more twisty than the Cornish. They are generally a little
more compact and muscular than the Cornish, with large pixie-like
ears. Again most colour patterns are present.
Temperament: As the Cornish. Unusually, the Devon
Rex wags its tail when content, unlike other breeds where
a wagging tail signifies disapproval.
Hereditary Diseases: Muscular Dystrophy
