The CFA Breed Councils were established in 1970 to serve as an advisory body on breed standards to the CFA Executive Board. Each of the breeds recognized by CFA for championship competition has its own Breed Council and Breed Council Secretary. The CFA Devon Rex Breed Council is comprised of individuals experienced in the breed and who meet other eligibility requirements established by the CFA Executive Board. The Devon Rex Breed Council channels opinions and suggestions from the individual breeder to the Board through the breed council secretary, and the breed standard is updated as the breed progresses. From time to time, each breed council also updates its breed profile, a more informal introduction to the breed. Eligibility Requirements • Have a CFA registered cattery name • Are at least 18 years of age or older • Have bred and registered with CFA at least three litters of Devon Rex. • A judge or an officer of another cat registering association is not eligible In addition to the above requirements, membership is limited to individuals who have met either of the following qualifications: Bred at least one Devon Rex CFA Grand Champion or Grand Premier. OR Registered one litter of Devon Rex within the previous two calendar years and, have exhibited a Devon Rex cat/kitten at a CFA show within the previous two calendar years. Membership Individuals who meet the breed council eligiblity requirements may join the Devon Rex Breed Council by submitting a completed membership application to CFA Central Office along with the appropriate fee. Membership runs from May 1st to April 30th.
