Kim, I got him from a Manx breeder, and she said that he had birth defects that made him unshowable and unbreedable. He's not supposed to have a tail. The horrible woman called him worthless and let me have him for free. Free or not, he's definately better off with me as far as I'm concerned. So I don't know if he's a mixture all together or not. I think he's perfect!
