A Study to Help Learn the Selkirk Rex Standard

By Mary Jones
As taught to me by Jeri

To begin, to tell the purpose of a standard and its use, we’ll show how important the standard is.

The standard gives a complete and detailed description of what characteristics are desired in the Selkirk Rex cat. The judge follows this standard when judging the cat. The breeder follows this standard in working to breed cats that better fit this standard. The better the understanding of the standard, the better the outcome for the judge and the breeder. This standard is a guide, written of words. The better it is written, the better it can guide. This article is being written for new breeders, long time breeders, judges and any who are interested in the Selkirk Rex, to help them better understand the written standard.

The standard uses many words to describe. We call it the standard of Perfection. Achieving perfection is an impossible task. Coming close to perfection is the best we can hope to achieve. There are many awesomely bred, top winning cats, and yet, we can find a detail, ever so slight, that we would say is not quite perfect.

The words “medium to large,” allow for a variance in the cats, that when in balance, would be suitable and correct for the individual cat. Points are allotted to each portion of the cat; head, body and coat. In a group of cats, you may have cats that vary in each of these aspects. One may be quite good for head and body, and not as good for coat. Another may have great coat and body, and not be quite as good of head. Sorting it out takes a good understanding of the standard. Within the standard there is a degree of limits. On one end would be, simply, size. This can include every tiny detail of the cat, from body and coat length, to ear and eye size. You can see many cats that, although quite nicely balanced, are not identical to each other, however they both can meet the standard. Details of how round of an eye, the spacing between the eyes in relationship to the size of the cat’s head, and the angle of the nose as it slopes from the stop, can dramatically affect the look of the cat’s face. For instance, less spacing between the cat’s eyes would cause the look of a wider muzzle. Or, a nose angle that has more downward slope would place the nose closer to the face, and lower on the face, than a nose that doesn't slope as much. These variations affect the look and can still be within the limits of the standard. In details, cats will have differences and still be "within the realm of good."

Jeri once said this to me, when I asked her the question, “How can both be good and be different is these details?” --

The standard does not stop at physical beauty. Personality, and character are also important to the Selkirk Rex. We expect sweet, gentle acting cats. They may not always display confidence while being exhibited. It is nice when they do.

Photographs are flat. They can not show dimension as seen by the eye when viewing cats in person. The photos used in this article are simply used to give more meaning to the descriptions in the standard.

General:

  • Description has key words, and phrases. Coat has gentle curl, soft feel.
  • Size of the cat: medium to large, heavy boned, massive, not dainty.
  • This means that a medium size cat is just as good as a large cat if in balance.
  • It is natural for the female cat to not be as large as the male cat.
  • Females my be less massive but not dainty.
  • Personality: playful and sweet acting.

Head:

  • Skull: round, broad and full cheeked. Round underlying bone structure, with no flat planes.
  • Broad means large and wide. The shape of a dome.
  • Round means totally round, when viewed from front or viewed from profile.
  • Like a ball. Forehead, top head are round from front to back and from side to side.
  • Cheeks continue the roundness, rounding from the muzzle to the side of the face.
  • No flat planes will be found any where on the head, not on the top head or any where.
  • This means nothing should look angular.


GC Nite Wind Badabing! - profile shows round head/skull, downward nose slant, nose below eye line, muzzle clearly visible beyond the curve of the cheek.




GC,BW,RW Nite Wind Splendor of Deenewkurl - This photo taken when out of coat makes it easier to see the round head, large round wide spaced eyes, nose below the eye line and muzzle beyond the curve of the cheek.




Muzzle:

  • The muzzle is unique to this breed.
  • The muzzle is medium in width. It is relative to the individual cat. The way to determine this width is; the muzzle will be as wide as the pupils of the cat’s eyes.
  • The underlying bone structure is rounded with well padded whisker pads to give the impression of squareness.
  • The well padded whisker pad is quite and important feature. When viewed from the front, a rectangular shape is formed by the width of the muzzle and whisker pads. When viewed from above, a rectangular shape of the muzzle will be seen.
  • The length should be equal to 1/2 the width.
  • This length is measured from the nose stop to the tip of the nose.
  • The width is measured from outer ends of the whisker pads.
  • Profile shows a muzzle clearly visible beyond the curve of the cheek.
  • Clearly visible, not blending into the cheek, dimensional. The well padded whisker pad being fully exposed from the curve of the cheek.
  • The tip of the chin lines up with the tip of the nose, and the upper lip, in the same vertical plane.
  • This is a firm chin, to fit into the muzzle, as a part of the whole muzzle feature, to form the rectangular shape of the muzzle.


Nite Wind Cheerio Bing! - muzzle viewed from above. Muzzle can be seen beyond the curve of the cheek. Muzzle width and length are easily seen when viewed from above.


Nite Wind Sno Lily - Arrows point to nose stop and nose tip. Jeri said the length of the muzzle is from the nose stop to the tip of the nose.




  • Profile reveals a nose stop. This nose stop can be seen. A stop is where two angles meet. In this case, the round forehead meets with the nose bridge to form a stop.
  • The corner of a sheet of paper is a 90 degree angle. This nose stop angle could be greater than 90 degrees. It should not be less than a 90 degree angle.
  • A fully round head will accent the stop.
  • The standard calls for a nose stop. Muzzle length is from nose stop to nose tip.
  • The nose has a downward slant with a convex curve and is set below the eye line.
  • The nose when viewed from the front will be below the eye line due to the curve of the nose bridge on a downward slant.
  • This slant will keep the muzzle closer to the face than if the nose were to project straight forward from the stop.


GC Deenewkurl Fresh Prince - shows nose stop, nose below eye line, muzzle beyond the curve of the cheek.



GC, BW, RW Deenewkurl In Town - This lovely cat is Jeri’s selection of a good Selkirk Rex and is co-breeder with Debi Kallmeyer. Roundness of head, good ears and ear set, nose stop, nose below the eyes, rectangular muzzle visible beyond the curve of the cheek, good boning and nice curly shorthair coat.


Chin:

  • Firm and well developed
  • Balanced in proportion to the rest of the head.
  • The chin being a part of the muzzle should not draw attention to itself by being either too strong, nor too weak.

Ears:

  • Medium in size, broad at base, tapering, set well apart.
  • Should fit into (without distorting) the rounded contour of the head. The correct ear will compliment the whole of the head, they will not stand out as a feature. Too large, or too small, of an ear will be obvious. An ear set that is too high, too close, too wide, or with a set that is to the side, would not be desired.
  • Furnishings, if present, are curly.

Eyes:

  • Large, rounded, set well apart.
  • The eyes should not appear almond or oval-shaped and inside and outside corners
  • of the eyes are in the same level horizontal plane.
  • Eyes are as round as possible. We like big bright eyes.
  • Eye set (width between eyes) about the space of 1 and 1/2 the width of an eye. Level set (straight across) neither slanting upward nor downward.
  • Placement of the eyes in the frontal plane. Not slanting upwards with the forehead, nor curving toward the sides of the head.


Ch Nite Wind Big Kahuna - shows wide spaced, large round eyes, nose stop, nose below eye line.





Ch Nite Wind Big Kahuna - Profile shows round head, nose stop, downward curve of the nose, muzzle visible beyond the curve of the cheek and curly longhair coat.



Body:

Torso:

  • Medium to large and well balanced
  • The substantial muscular torso is more rectangular than square, but not long.
  • Back is straight with a slight rise to the hindquarters.
  • Shoulders and hip should appear the same width.
  • Balance to the body, a medium cat with a medium body, a large cat with a large body. A good solid feel to the cat’s body.


Dbl Ch Nite Wind Wickersham - shows heavy boning, muscular body and legs, round head, and downward slant of the nose.



Legs:

  • Medium to long. Substantial boning.
  • Should be in proportion to the body.
  • Again, balance is the key. Thicker heavily muscled legs that suit the cat’s all over appearance.

Feet:

  • Large, round and firm.
  • No excess length to the feet. Smaller feet, not in balance with heavily boned legs, would be undesirable.

Toes:

  • Five toes on the front feet, four on the hind feet.

Tail:

  • Medium length, proportionate to body.
  • Heavy at base, neither blunt nor pointed at tip.
  • In balance, the tail will not draw attention to itself but will continue the look of the over all cat.

Coat:

Coat length:

  • Two lengths- short and long.
  • The difference in coat lengths are most obviously seen on the tail and the ruff.
  • On the shorthairs, the tail hair is the same length as the coat (approximately 1" - 2") and the tail curls are plush and lie compactly around the tail. The ruff is the same length as the coat fur.
  • On long hairs, the tail curls are plume-like and stand out away from the tail. The ruff hairs are also longer and frame the face.

Shorthair:

Texture:
  • The coat texture is soft, plushy and obviously curly.
Density:
  • The coat is dense (thick) and full, with no bald or thinly covered areas of the body. The coat stands out from the body and should not appear flat or close-lying.
Curl:
  • This is a random, unstructured coat, arranged in loose, individual curls. The curls appear to be in "clumps" rather than an all over wave. Although curl varies by hair length, sex, and age in an individual, the entire coat should show the effect of the rex gene. Curliness may be evident more around the neck, on the tail and the belly. Allowances should be made for less curl on younger adults and kittens.


Dbl Ch Nite Wind Wickersham - shows shorthair coat - soft, dense, plush, with curl through entire coat.




Longhair:

Texture:
  • The coat texture is soft, full, and obviously curly. It does not feel or appear to be as plush as the shorthair coat, however, should not appear to be thin.
Density:
  • The coat is dense (thick) and full with no bald or thinly covered areas of the body. The coat may stand out from the body but may feel less plush, but not close-lying.
Curl:
  • This is a random, unstructured coat, arranged in loose, individual curls. The curls appear to be in "clumps" or "ringlets" rather than an all over wave. Although curl varies by hair length, sex, and age in an individual, entire coat should show the effect of the rex gene. Curliness may be evident more around the neck, on the tail and the belly. Allowances should be made for less curl on younger adults and kittens.


GC, BW, RW Native Sun of Deenewkurl - Longhair heterozygous, loose unstructured curl in clumps throughout coat.





Nite Wind Born to be Wild - Homozygous longhair, curl throughout entire coat, unstructured curl.





GC, RW AZ Fancyface Bella Capri. Longhair Blue-Cream Point. Pro's: Nice wide open expression; eyes--nice spacing, rounded, color compliments dilute coloring. Ear placement/size good. Muzzle meets the standard. Ringleting factor exceptional. Blue-cream point blaze on nose striking. Heavy boning for female.

Penalize:

  • Excessive cobbiness or sleek oriental appearance.

Disqualify:

  • Extreme nose break
  • Lack of visible muzzle
  • Malocclusion
  • Tail kinks
  • Crossed eyes
  • Obvious physical deformities, including polydactal feet
  • No evidence of curl

SELKIRK REX BREED COUNCIL MEETING

SUMMARY
RENO, NEVADA
BY PATRICIA SIMMES
June 17, 2006

ATTENDEES:


Breed Council Members: Patricia Simmes, Donna Bass, Debi Kallmeyer, Mary Jones Guests: Kirk Mills, Trica Hutchings, Ermand Carlos

Appropriate breed ribbons were handed out.

Breed Standard Changes

  1. Shouldn’t be changed year after year
  2. Educate judges instead
    Annette Wilson asked if longhair breeds could submit ballots one year, and the shorthair breeds could submit changes on alternating years. No decision was made at this time.

Registration Rules

  1. Central office reported they would utilize a breed book for answers when asked questions about each breed’s registration questions
  2. Should be available online to breeders
    Registration rules information/web location to be forwarded to breed council secretaries.

AOV Definition

  1. Initially described as colors not recognized for championship
    AOV description also describes cats only to be registered for breeding and not for advancement to championship status. Some AOV’s are brought to a show hall to be evaluated although the board stated they would rather these cats be evaluated by fellow breeders. The board questioned if they should be filling out forms on all AOV cats.

Essence of Your Breed

  1. Develop sound byte for a breed
  2. Joan Miller has a 2 page breed sheet currently that she and Karen Lawrence designed, at this time without breed council secretary input. There are cat photographs on this handout and a “blurb” about each breed.

Color Descriptions

  1. Proposed by Annette Wilson – not mandatory, suggestion
    The idea came from FIFE. For example, could “black” be “black” across the board as a color or would “ebony” stay in some breed descriptions? Annette stated that solid colors would be suggested first in creating a color chart uniformity. She is not asking us to rewrite our color descriptions. Annette used the “mctabby” color description as an example; she says this word arrives to central office in many varieties: mctabby, mactabby and maktabby.

British Shorthair BCS Meeting [Attended by Patricia Simmes]

  1. Asked BSH breed council about 3 year clear limitation on our using BSH as an outcross – no longhair, pointed, fawn, cinnamon, etc in the 3 year pedigree
    The positive feedback I got back on this question was that not one breed council member at the meeting had any idea that their breed council had imposed this type of 3 year pedigree limitation on our breed. They generally concurred that they didn’t see why we couldn’t just utilize a British Shorthair without this restriction through the CATS program, not ever being able to breed or register the cat as a CFA British Shorthair. They suggested we get the registration rules from Annette Wilson and start there with the process of possibly amending this rule.

  2. Also concerned about registration rules

  3. Clearing up breed definitions, i.e. “nose stop”
    The BSH breed council members weren’t looking to rename “nose stop” but rather facilitate an educational process between the judges and breeders and the Breed Council Secretary regarding what the term means.

  4. Change overall body description – medium to medium-large
    The BSH breed council members pointed out that a Maine Coon is classified as “large”, and they don’t want the BSH breed to fall into this category. Rather, in contrast, the BSH is a medium to medium-large size cat, and they may be asking to change this description on their ballot.

  5. Level eyes or not
    A prominent BSH breeder stated that she had looked at all her cats as well as surfing other BSH web sites and did NOT find one set of level eyes. However, she wasn’t suggesting they change the standard to reflect her findings especially since the standard is an ideal to breed towards. It was felt that the eyes weren’t level because the BSH face is not flat. The breed council members indicated they had no wish to remove the word “level” from their standard but perhaps they should emphasize the term “well rounded.”

Leg Size

  1. Medium to medium-large
    Based on the British Shorthair breed council meeting, I asked our breed council about possibly changing our standard to read “medium to medium-large” on leg size as well as body size. Perhaps this change should be scheduled to follow approval of the BSH changing their standard and its approval.

Outcross Extension

  1. Need to ask permission of other breed[s]
    Pursuant to the board’s direction/advice, the out-cross breeds need to be politely asked to place an advisory item on their ballot to request an out-cross extension as well as placing the same type of advisory item on our own ballot.

  2. Dire predictions have not come true
    We haven’t created curly Persians. We will not be showing our long hair/straight hair Selkirks to replicate the Persian look in a show ring. Our advisory ballot item should stress that our breed is defined by its curly coat.

Color Restrictions

  1. No cinnamon or fawn – per Donna
    Donna indicated that cinnamon & fawn colors come from Germany Brits who have been bred to Abyssinians and that CFA was not going to allow this breeding to justify the colors. Donna suggested to be careful of obtaining cats through the FIFE registration because these disallowable colors could come through, and then a Selkirk Rex breeder would have a cat with a color such as fawn or cinnamon that could never be registered with CFA.

Pedigree Restrictions

  1. Request a zero generation pedigree
    • Request bringing in Selkirk Rex from any other association as a Selkirk Rex without 3 generation pedigree requirement with registration numbers [Selkirk is a Selkirk]. We need to further diversify our gene pool.

    • Our registration numbers are 2005: 242, 2004: 216, 2003: 191, 2002: 185, 2001: 155, 2000: 154. Thus, we have had a slight growth. Debi stated that perhaps although it may appear that we have enough cats and/or growth, that we don’t have enough breeders; this statement also references the above out-cross extension request.

  2. TICA certified pedigrees
    If you have ever registered a CFA cat, you cannot bring in a TICA registered cat. This topic was broached upon asking how to bring in a TICA cat into a Selkirk Rex CFA breeding program to perhaps gain access to colors such as a lilac British Shorthair in the cat’s 1st or 2nd generation pedigree.

Color Class Change

  1. Donna proposed grouping solid red with red mctabby and solid cream with cream mctabby
    • 1 point on color in the first place

    • Should not be a factor in evaluating a Selkirk

CFA BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING WITH BREED COUNCIL SECRETARIES

SUMMARY
BY PATRICIA SIMMES
June 15, 2006

  1. Communication Project
    • Breed council members with CFA judges & vice versa
      Communication should include cats that are being shown and respective standards. Questions arose on what information goes back to the breed council & how to know what issues to raise with breed council members. It was requested that there be no personal 1:1 regarding breed council member and a judge in the ring at a show wherein a judge is being informed what the breed council wants in their breed.

  2. Common Color Description
    • Proposed reorganization of color and pattern descriptions within the CFA breed standards
      • Scope & impact
        It was not proposed that this idea change every breed’s color description. Rather, Annette Wilson suggested that colors that are common to multiple breeds be reorganized or categorized uniformly. No breed will be forced to change or alter their color descriptions. This idea came from FIFE.

  3. Outcross Extensions
    • Breeds with cutoff dates:
      • American Curl – 01/01/2010
      • Colorpoint Shorthair – 01/01/2019
      • Devon Rex – 05/01/2013
      • LaPerm – 01/01/2010
      • Ocicat – 01/01/2015
      • Ragamuffin – 07/15/06
      • Selkirk Rex – 01/01/2010 & 01/01/2015
      • Sphynx – 12/31/2010
      How to or why to establish cut-off dates was raised. President Delabar said that perhaps some breeds are asking for outcross extensions too soon. She suggested that extensions be requested 2-3 years prior to their cut-off. Annette stressed that each breed requesting an outcross extension politely confer with their requesting outcross breeds, particularly between the breed council secretaries, instead of directly asking the board for the extension. President Delabar stressed, upon being asked by myself, that she wants to see numbers in the request to support such extensions.

  4. Definition of Longhair Domestic Cat & Shorthair Domestic Cat
    • Breeds – American Curl, LaPerm & Sphynx – utilize domestic cats
    • Potential outcross to wild blood was discussed/argued.
    • The American Bobtail requires both the Breed Council Secretary and the outcross chair be consulted in the initial steps of outcross evaluation. A Sphynx F1 litter with $20 can be registered with CFA. When the American Bobtail BCS requested why the amount was so little, i.e. $20, Annette suggested that we raise it to $1 million. $10 is too cheap to bring a domestic cat into a breeding program. American Shorthair had $200 in their rules.
    • Rules for Registration can vary from breed to breed. VP Kitty Angel proposed that she did not want to see domestic cats used in breeding programs since they could bring potential genetic problems to any breed. George Eigenhauser & Joan Miller opined that we could be getting more genetic problems from utilizing only pedigreed cats for outcrosses, and that they may be bringing the same, if not more, genetic problems to breeds needing outcrosses.
    • Joan Miller opined that open domestic outcross was necessary for American Shorthairs, to which American Shorthair BCS Bob Zenda stated that he was going to request this particular option for his breed be closed; he has only been approached twice with such a request.
    • Annette stated that any breeder can get the rules of registration from Central Office. She wasn’t sure if this information was available online and was going to check on this issue and get back to the Breed Council Secretaries. Can the rules be located for everyone to see, or at least for the Breed Council Secretaries to see, or could they be located in the Almanac?
    • An outcross extension is classified as an “advisory” item on the breed ballot[s].
    • It was stressed that genetic diversity be addressed especially if the breed was developed from random bred cat[s].

  5. Brief Definition of AOV for Each Applicable Breed – Include in Standard
    • Examples
      • Manx tailed cats
      • Ragdoll patterns
      • Exotic longhairs
      • [Not used in presentation but our very own straight hair Selkirks]
    • AOV - what does it include? If your breed’s AOV description is not clear, include a clarification on your ballot. Joan Miller asked if AOV’s are always shown to advance to championship status? Should judges be filling out forms? A few Breed Council Secretaries said, “no,” that the AOV classification is for registration only and means [in their breed] that the AOV cat does not conform to the show standard and is to be used just for breeding [just like our straight hairs]. There are two types of AOV status: (1) Miscellaneous with no intention of advancing, and (2) AOV to include the process of getting accepted and advanced to provisional and championship status.
    • In addition, AOV’s are brought to shows to be evaluated with the intention that these cats may be better cats and kittens within the breed but with no intention to advance. Peg Johnson suggested this type of AOV definition/classification be brought to breeders and not to the judges.
    • Do we want to be putting AOV status in a breed standard? No. However, it was pointed out that the Tonkinese breed had it in their standard at one point in time.
    • Darrell Newkirk wants Ragdoll AOV color classification somehow re-classified or listed as a special case since Ragdoll AOV colors are requesting eventual advancement to championship status.

  6. Breed Standard Changes
    • Frequency
    • Limitation
      Newer breeds may need to work on their standard more often but instead of clarification breed standard changes, perhaps a better communication process as suggested in the first item in this summary. The more often you change your standard, the less it looks like you know what you want especially if you keep addressing the same part of your standard, i.e. head structure!!! Don’t try to change the standard to meet the cat. The standard is an ideal. It IS ok to NOT put in a ballot every year. Work more on educational issues within your breed instead of jumping to change the breed standard.
    • Is there any interest in polling each breed council to see if each breed would consent to submit standard changes every other year? It was proposed that perhaps all longhair breeds submit their standard changes one year, and the shorthair breeds submit their standard changes the next year and keep alternating every other year.

  7. What is the “Essence” of Your Breed?
    • How is your breed distinct from others
      Joan Miller led this discussion. She would like a sound byte approved by each breed council, perhaps only 2 sentences, regarding what is essential and/or what is distinct about your breed. Joan had a 2 page, double sided laminated breed description exhibit that she uses at overseas shows at which she judges.

  8. CFA Breed Referral Listing
    • Qualifications
    • Accuracy
      President Delabar emphasized this listing is just that, only a listing, not a recommendation. She further added that each complaint has to be addressed on a case by case basis.

  9. Breed Council Membership
    • Breed council secretary to appoint a “point person”
      When I was approached about this topic a few months ago, I did discuss the matter with Lorraine Shelton, and she graciously volunteered to be the point person. This point person categorization was basically developed to work with the mentoring program in which Lorraine already participates.

  10. Breed Council Renewals
    • Renew by 08/01/06
      Linda Berg requested that breed council web sites include information or at least a link to breed rescue information/sites.
