To achieve his desired breed he bred the Munchkin with the Sphynx to try and restrict hair to the points.

[2] The coat of the Minskin is short and the fur-points cover the mask, ears, legs, tail, and scrotum.

Fur-points are where the fur is more densely coated compared to other areas where it is sparser such as the torso or temple.

[3] Due to having the hairlessness of the Sphynx and the dwarfism of the Munchkin, the Minskin is susceptible to several health issues of those breeds.

[4] The genetic disorder responsible for the breed's shortened stature can result in an undersized jaw, thick-looking joints, curved spine, and a bow-legged or knock-kneed posture.
