Skookum Breed Standard
as opposed to short-legged La Perms as after the first generation breeders do not breed back to La Perms. They are playful, people loving and kittenish, even as adults.

They may have slight bowing of the long bones; The spine is unaffected and similar in form and flexibility to other cat breeds. They have a distinctive gait, walking with one leg in front of the other with tail held erect. They run like rabbits without the hop.
Coat texture is distinctly different from other rex mutations and will vary within the breed.

Skookum Breed Standard (Continued)
short to medium long. Hair may be wavy which is light, springy and airy; may be coarser than the longhair and has individual variations. Coat stands away from body with waves/curls over most of the cat. At times the coat will part naturally down the middle of the back. The coat may be coarser over the spine but not wiry.
Longhair:
medium long to long varying with season and maturity. Has ruff on maturity. Non matting, light, springy and airy so it feels loose and bouncy standing away from the body so you can run your fingers through to the skin. Parts with breath. Has almost unkempt appearance (gypsy shag look). May be curly or wavy - curly preferred, tightest curls in ruff and base of ears.
