The coat to be evenly dense and not excessively harsh, with as few guard hairs as
possible. Coat to be evenly curled and also to a lesser extent on the belly. Curly
vibrissae (whiskers) are normal for Rex. Colour to conform to a recognised colour
or pattern variety. Where Silver or ticked rats are rexed, allowances should be
made for the lower number of guard hairs present than in normal varieties.
Genetics: Original rexes due to dominant gene Re. A recessive gene, possibly due
to F2 (fuzzy) is available via some imported dumbo lines.

To be judged as standard rats with the following differences: The ears to be set
low on the sides of the head, their base at the back of the cheeks wider and more
open than a standard rat. The ear is slightly furled at the top and will appear
to be rose petal shaped, but gently pressing a finger to the back of the ear will
show the ear as being perfectly rounded. Head shape to follow the standard for normal
eared rats, though may appear to differ due to the ear position. A prominent occiput
(back of skull) is normal but should not present a 'hunchback' appearance. Faults:
creased, bent and wrinkled ears to be considered a serious fault. Also ears being
too narrow and pointed and tubular rather than rounded to be considered a serious
fault. Dome skulls, fore shortened head, misplaced or small eyes to be judged as
a serious fault. Colour to conform to a recognised colour or pattern variety.
Genetics: Due to a recessive gene with altered ear shape and position, tentatively
named du
