Profile View

Devon Rex Profile The Devon Rex "Modified Wedge" Profile. In profile, the imaginary wedge must be extrapolated well beyound the actual head to maintain the analogy. The top of the head should be noticeabl flat, from the front to rear and from side to side. The planes of the forehead and jaw are nearly parallel. The nose should have an actual structural stop, and not merely an illusion based on the way the fur grows. The chin should not be receding nor prognathous.

Correct and Incorrect Profiles

Nice Profile "Nice Profile; Proper Length, Shape & Nose Stop"
Head Too Long "Head Too Long But Otherwise Correct; More Acceptable Than Too Short Or Improper Shape"
Head Too Short "Head Too Short; Should Be Strongly Discouraged"
Wrong Shape "Head Of Wrong Shape; Too Rounded"
Profile Too Straight "Profile Too Straight; Lacks Strong Stop"
Stop Too Strong "Stop Too Strong"
