Skookums at Calico Rose
What exactly is a Skookum? A Skookum is a cross between a munchkin
and a laperm. Ideally in this breeding we are hoping to get a short legged
cat with curly hair. Hoping is the key word here. It simply doesn't happen
with any predictable degree of regularity. Even breeding two Skookums will
not necessarily produce all Skookums. Therefore in these litters we can get,
Laperms, Munchkins, Skookums and Non Standards, (cats who display neither
the curls nor the short legs) When we do we are thrilled as we have a special
fondness for these adorable and rare cats. They have the same cute personality
of the munchkin and the extreme brightness of the laperm AND the low maintenance
curly coat of the laperm. Quite a combination. Smedley was seen NBC's Weekend
Today Show in Feb of 2003 in a segment where they featured new and rare breeds.
