As with other caracul mutants, heterozygotes have a very wavy coat and curved vibrissae.  The mutation can be detected when the coat first comes in at about 7 to 8 days of age, is easily recognized at 3 weeks of age, and remains ruffled throughout life but is less wavy with age.

<strong>This strain has been discontinued, but other caracul alleles are available and DNA for this allele is available.</strong>
