ALGEMEEN
|
The American Shorthair (AS) and the American Wirehair (AW) are natural
American breeds of medium to large size with the female being smaller
in size. The head and body type are the same in both breeds with
the distinguishing feature being the unique coarse crimped coat
of the Wirehair. The hard, resilient coat of the American Shorthair
translates to the dense coat of crimped, coarse hair of the American
Wirehair.
The body should be well-knit and powerful with well-developed
chest and hindquarters, especially in the males. Females are of
proportionally smaller size and allowance must be made. The head
is broad, with cheeks especially well-developed in studs. The nose
and face are medium-short, with eyes and ears set wide apart. The
muzzle should present a squarish aspect, but should not be foreshortened.
