Body types
Bambino, Elf, and Dwelf
People hear Sphynx and picture one shape. I also raise Bambino, Elf, and Dwelf. Legs and ears change. The cat does not.
Not a different cat
A Bambino, an Elf, and a Dwelf carry the same hairless mutation. The difference is short legs, curled ears, or both.
They can still have any of the five coats. Hairless, flocked, velour, brushed, or straight. Coat is not the body type.
Same cat in the house. Closer to the floor, or with ears that curl back.
They follow me from room to room. They want to help with whatever I am doing. I see the same in a Bambino, an Elf cat, or a Dwelf.

Bambino
A Bambino is a Sphynx on short legs. Same warm skin, closer to the floor. When I have one, I charge $600 more.
Elf
An Elf is a Sphynx with curled ears and regular legs. The curl is the ear. I do not add $600 for the ears alone.
Dwelf
A Dwelf is short-legged with those elf ears. Both at once. I charge $600 more, the same add as a Bambino.
What I charge
I charge $600 more for a Bambino, a Dwelf, or an odd-eye. That add is not for an Elf unless the kitten is also short-legged.
Odd-eye is eye color. It is not a body type. These cats can still have any of the five coats.
