The Highlander is an experimental US breed with curled ears, bobbed tail and spotted coat styled after wild lynx, without full registry recognition.
Highlander is a large breed with Moderate care needs. Judge fit by space, children, experience and other pets rather than looks.
Reference monthly cost: CNY 300-800. Include food, litter, parasite prevention, grooming and a vet reserve.
Highlanders are medium-large and muscular with backward-curling ears, short tails, spotted or marbled coats and occasional polydactyl feet. Adults weigh about 4.5-9 kg.
Breeders describe them as confident, friendly, lively and intelligent, fond of interaction and water, wild in looks but fully domestic in behavior.
Grooming depends on coat length. The breed remains experimental with only new-breed registration in some registries and limited long-term health data; effects of curled ears and bobbed tails need ongoing observation. Understand its status before buying.
