Title: Selkirk Rex??
Post by: siou2 on October 09, 2013, 22:50:49 PM

Hi

brought in a new friend tonight who looks like a persian but has fur as thick as a sheeps.  His fur is curly on his head, legs & belly & the rest is wavy.  Could he be a selkirk rex?  pics aren't brill but best I could get  :thanks:

He's also odd-eyed, sure to have a home somewhere, so off to vet in morning to search for a chip, calling him Lambchop (lammy) for now  :rofl:

Well what a morning!!

Turns out lammy is not only a selkirk rex but a supreme grand champion!!  The only odd eyed selkirk in the country, his parents were australian imports, his owner was over the moon.  I don't think he'll be going walkies again, lol
