He comes from Norwegian and Russian bloodlines, so we have both hemispheres well represented.

He has done extremely well on the show bench and is already a Grand Champion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b93533259d00a9a51db17/b3cf889b-374e-4be5-b47b-3ea597d0f257/phoenix1-1-489x651.jpeg Our Boys Phoenix - Our latest addition, a seal point cuddle bunny, Bountiful Phoenixoffire, aka Phoenix. https://nidorancattery.co.uk/hall-of-fame daily 0.75 2021-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b93533259d00a9a51db17/8117c2e4-6b6d-4090-beb1-197da624d2e8/izzy2-719x959-719x959.jpg Hall of Fame Izzy - A Blue Cream Tortie girl who contributed Australian blood lines to our pedigrees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b93533259d00a9a51db17/8111b8e4-2bfc-47c4-9daf-c95798c852db/link-600x425-79-600x425.jpg Hall of Fame Link - Our first ever stud boy here at Nidoran.

If it can’t be you, then another cat or dog for companionship is vital. Devons are very sociable. Of course, another Devon would find your lad more comprehensible than your average German Shorthaired Pointer, for example – who is experiencing “pin-down” for the third time in one day, whilst your Devon decides to clean those ears, yet again. But I digress. On the subject of ears…. Much is written of the wax-producing qualities of the Devon Rex. I have not found it particularly so – but regular checks on ears and nails are, of course, standard procedure. Cuddle times are great for this. Leave the clippers, cotton buds, and tissues at hand, and get your Devon used to you playing with his feet; extending the nail, etc. while he’s at rest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b93533259d00a9a51db17/1617749162437-9HYZWOWGE34IA3BWLV0K/gollum3.jpg Caring For Your Devon - Hand grooming comes into this session too. The Devon coat will benefit from all the stroking you can provide. There are also occasions when a grooming brush is needed – particularly when coming into adult coat. Don’t leave the introduction of the brush until it really is needed to get your cat used to its virtues. Begin with a soft baby brush, alternated with hand movements, while he is still a baby, and later, a fine comb. Devons don’t moult to the same extent as other cats but they do need help in maintaining their coat in optimum condition. “Dead” coat can soon be recognised - you’ll find it will pluck out easily between thumb and finger. A good brush will take out the dead hair and keep the coat looking healthy and well rexed. Devons are distinguished by their eye-catching rexed coats- and time spent on it is quickly rewarded. The coat needs natural oils and when bathing is needed a mild shampoo is a must. The coat usually settles down into its full “bloom” some two weeks later. Coat, colour and patterns in Devons vary enormously and it is rather the typically foreign, athletic body, long balanced tail, neat oval paws, wedge-shaped head, flat top of the skull, large tufted ears and oval eyes, which so characterise the breed. https://nidorancattery.co.uk/our-girls daily 0.75 2021-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606b93533259d00a9a51db17/defe2b1c-9095-4bde-b257-2ee692e155c6/esmee-izzies-babies-and-the-gang-2nd-august-2016-044-600x450-78.jpg Our Girls Nimue - A Blue Smoke girl and daughter to Miloka and our own bred Champion Nidoran the Secret of Nimh.
