round torso. The tail is tapered, rounded at the tip, but not

It is said that if you stroke the coat of the American Wirehaired in one
direction it is soft and silky feeling. But if you stroke it in the

wool. |

Origin
|
The first known American
Wirehair was born in a barn in Verona, New York in 1966. His name
was Adam and he was one of a litter of 6 kittens from a litter of American
Shorthairs. He had crimped, sparse, wiry hair, coiled and springy,
even the whiskers. All American Wirehairs can be traced back to this
kitten named Adam. |
