Never heard of a Nanus Rex. I've seen a Cornish Rex and Devon Rex.

In either case, good luck getting the CFA or TICA to recognize the breeds.

We rescued a bunch of kittens that some other whacko breeder decided to play God with. They were trying to create a new breed called Munchkines, a cross between a Munchkin and a Siamese. What a freaking mess those kittens were. All of them had all SORTS of health problems and had to be humanely euthanized. That and the fact that 2 of my 4 cats, who are purebreds, came from BAD breeders, is the reason why I cannot STAND breeders!!
I'm sorry you feel that way. Not all breeders are bad and alot do care very deeply about their cats and the offspring that they produce.

As far as I know, only the american curl is being used to develop the kinkalow. It's not my breed, though, so I'm not sure. I believe they are also developing a cat called a dwelf, which is a naked version of the kinkalow.

I believe they have another name for munchkins crossed with folds, but I can't remember what it is off the top of my head.

As for the Nanus Rex or Lambkin in TICA and CFA... sigh, we are working on getting our breed recognized by TICA. It's only been in development a short time and will take much longer before we have established it enough to even consider going beyond the preliminary new breed stage. As with any other breed, we must first prove they are viable and healthy. We know that and we will work toward that goal. If we find that there are health issues for the cats, then we will decide whether we want to continue to pursue the breed or not at that point. So far there have been no issues.

What issues did these "munchkines" kittens have? It would be nice if you'd share that info since more than likely there are others working on that hybridization and they should be warned if there is a health issue at risk before they go too far with it.
