These guys don't appear to be rex. From what we've found online and talking to the breeder they fit wavy best. The breeder had both this type and rex in his lines and found that the genes are not the same. In comparison they have kinks and no curls, the whiskers are kinky and their fur appears thinner than a rex coat.

Yeah they gene is different. I've seen several crosses between a known rex line, a normal coat line and this line. When crossed back they make hairy patchworks. The original sire is from a California breeder. I have to find the website but were pretty sure they are wavy or a different rex mutation. Get this, when they get older (around a year) they loose hair in a back stripe during molts and grow it back. I can't wait for the girl to give birth.
Its possible its a thick haired rex line though.
