Munchkins come in varying leg lengths, the center one is correct for showing

There is no such term in TICA for "rughuggers"

but it is understood that this means really short, not for showing

GENERALLY SPEAKING  shorter legs are more bowed than medium-intermediate

This line art was originally drawn by Gloria Stephens and I altered them

Dr. Solveig Pflueger, head of TICA's genetic committee, and original developer of the Munchkin breed,  states that a slightly longer leg is more desirable than a too short leg on this breed.

The illustrations below were drawn by Marjorie B. Hanna in August 2007.  The depictions were made following the TICA standard and from pictures of the top winning cats from the 2006-2007 show season. Marjorie has drawn all the TICA breeds for use in seminars and education.  Click on the pictures to see a larger version.
