Bobcats Vs. Pixiebobs

Left is a Bobcat Kitten, yet to develop its full red toned coat.
Right is Our Pixiebob (kitten) future stud Edward Red Esq. The camera's are not quite at the same angle, but you can how closely a pixiebob mimics a bobcat, without combining any bobcat genes.
Ed is 100% pure Pixiebob.

 

 

Pixiebobs are NOT a hybrid breed. You'll clearly see that we aim to replicate the Muzzle Shape, the Deep Brow, Ear tufts, large Fleshy paws, chunky Legs and all the markings of the spotty coat Bobcat (Lynx Rufus). Again is another comparison on Bobcat (on the right) and Pixiebob, this time Alessi (on the left).


Brow lines become straighter and more defined as a Pixiebob matures, and it will always be more prominent in a male than a female. This also rings true for the bobcat as well, as shown in the Bobcat kitten (top left) and the adult shown (bottom right).
