The Sapphire Mutation: Elevating the Devon Rex with Dominant Blue Eyes
A Rare Jewel in the Feline World As a relatively recent discovery, the DBE gene is a rarity. At Curly Pride, we meticulously integrate this gene while preserving the health and classic "look" of the Devon Rex. These kittens are truly "boutique" additions—rare genetic masterpieces that stand out in any home or breeding program.

Straightforward Inheritance

The 50% Rule: If just one parent carries the DBE gene, statistically half of the litter will inherit those signature blue eyes.

The Reveal: While all kittens begin with blue eyes, the DBE "permanent blue" becomes distinct from standard green or gold shifts by 7 to 8 weeks of age.

The Sapphire Mutation: Elevating the Devon Rex with Dominant Blue Eyes

The Devon Rex has long been celebrated for its whimsical pixie expression and signature velvet-soft waves. Today, a breathtaking genetic breakthrough is redefining the breed's beauty: the Dominant Blue Eye (DBE) gene.

What Sets the DBE Gene Apart? Traditionally, blue eyes in cats were reserved for specific patterns like Colorpoints or solid whites. DBE defies these rules. Because it is a dominant trait, it operates independently of coat color. This allows for a stunning, historically "impossible" contrast: deep black, vibrant tortie, or classic tabby coats paired with piercing, oceanic blue eyes.
