The Devon Rex is named after the English county where they first appeared. They have much wider ears, smaller faces, pronounced cheek-bones and shorter noses than their Cornish counterparts, and their distinctive coat is curly and feels like suede or brushed corduroy.

The Devon Rex make intelligent, extroverted and very affectionate pets. Alert and quick, they usually display a great inquisitiveness.

Their low allergenic "Poodle-type" coat is low maintenance and sheds minimally and means that many asthma or allergy suffers who are unable to enjoy ownership of other breeds, may be able to do live with a Rex.
