Nogen der kan fortælle hvor jeg kan finde mere informantion om forfor det er at det ikke er en godkendt race her hjemme? 
har diskuteret det med ven som er helt vild med dem, og ville gerne kunne vise “sort på hvidt” hvorfor de ikke er godkendt.
og upsved godt det ikke er en race men nærme et specifikt gen ^^
Munchkin ER skam en godkendt race i TICA.
Den vil ikke blive godkendt i FIFe, da man her har besluttet ikke at acceptere racer med defekter udover haarloeshed og haleloeshed - og selv indenfor disse er man vist ogsaa ved at saette en graense…
HER kan du se en liste over TICAs godkendte racer.

Although the genetic mutation causing the short-legged trait in Munchkins has been referred to as achondroplasia,[SUP][8][/SUP] achondroplasia is typically associated with an enlarged head as well as short legs. This combination of features is not seen in Munchkin cats. The condition has sometimes been referred to as hypochondroplasia or pseudoachondroplasia.[SUP][14][/SUP][SUP][15][/SUP] Small litter sizes when two munchkin cats are crossed indicate that embryos that are homozygous for the munchkin gene are non-viable.[SUP][15][/SUP]
While there were early speculations that the Munchkin will develop spinal problems commonly seen in short-legged dog breeds, in 1995 several breeders had their oldest Munchkins X-rayed and examined for signs of joint or bone problems and found none.[SUP][16][/SUP] However, there appears to be two conditions with increased incidence in the breed: lordosis (excessive curvature of the spine) and pectus excavatum (hollowed chest). Both conditions are commonly seen in humans with pseudoachondroplasia.[SUP][14][/SUP] These conditions can appear in other breeds and some breeders have denied that it is a problem for the Munchkin.[SUP][3]
