Sphynx

The beginning of this hanbateho the breed dates back to the year 1966 in Ontario (Canada), when black and white cat was born Elizabeth bezsrste baby, which for its wrinkled appearance gained from its owner name Prune (dried svestka).

His bezsrstosti was mother nature, it turned out that this is a spontaneous mutation is recessive. Thanks to the fact that it is recessive, it may be this mutation is a lot of generations of unnoticed, because as long as the individual doesn't get this mutation from both parents, outwardly, to take effect-this means that the normal shape. Prune was not the first cat with this mutation, already in the past before him were rarely documented naked kittens, but he was used for the directed breeding program. The cat coughed up and his mother have acquired Ridyadh and Yania Bawa (breeder Siamese cats), who used the reverse crossing, and was born with them more bezsrsta kittens. Join our efforts with other producers, Rita and Keesem Tenhove. Them nudes weren't just the nudes, but they got their name, sphynx, as a sign of its similarity to the Sphinx.

Between 1978-1980, found on the Street 3 bezsrsta kotatka Shirley Smith. Kocourek Bambi had to be because of injuries, vykastrovan, but two chicks may also be used for breeding, and have been imported to the Netherlands to the rearers Dr. Hugo Hernandez, who had already imported home remote descendants of the Prune-Mewsi-Kal Johnny and Mewsi-Kal Starsky. Dr. Hugo Hernandez but haven't had much success in mating imported sphynxu, therefore, to the imported cats decided to prikrizit the devon Rex, and managed to give him the basis of European line nahacku.

The next line sphynxu was founded in Minessote, where the domestic cat Jezabelle born two bezsrsta kittens, named the Epidermis and Dermis. You took under its wings the breeder Kim Mueske, which is krizila with domestic cats. Although they have appeared even more naked cats, which were used for breeding, was a further development of the breed difficult, because it was almost impossible to find an unrelated sphynxe, and keepers feared the possible health consequences. Therefore, once again, prikrizovali other breeds (devon Rex, American kratkosrstou a cat), in order to increase the status of the population. Sphynx breed is recognised by organisations such as the CFA and TICA, FIFe, etc.

These unique cats cause commotion-when you look at sphynxe, so his appearance of mimozemstanka and has, or would certainly happen, that would be around them had passed unnoticed. Because of his appearance are often stars in movies, series, most recently, for example, in the video the singer Lady Gaga. Continue to be among the rarer breeds, although the breeding base of very grown, but the dream kittens from the breeders announced stations are still waiting lists.

Standard

Nudes are medium-sized cats, but when you pick up, surprised, how heavy is this cat. Their body is athletic and muscular, medium-long, strong legs. Peculiarities in their pads are pads, which are thicker than other breeds. The skull is slightly rounded with a flat face, and broad with large handles. To open and nice expression, their eyes in the shape of lemon can be of various colours corresponding to the colour of the body. Slender tail is proportional to the body.

The cats but they are rude, they are naked!

Rat and the appearance of the sphynxu is typical for them, but if you look closer, you see that they are not completely without hair, may be covered with short soft hairs. They are also allowed short fine hairs on the feet, the back of the nose, the back of the ears, on the tip of the tail and the scrotum. Their skin creates folds, eyeballs, which are standard set around the mouth, between the ears and around the scapula.

Nudes are kept in all possible colours, in a possible combination with the artwork, with a share of the color white. But the determination of the colors on a cat without fur is often a daunting task when they maneuver and experienced keepers, and in cases of dispute used to determine the colors of the genetic test.

Sphynxum are often pigment spots, some are dark, light, and sometimes even in places where you might expect, such as language. If the stains are not as bounded by the red and are not raised, there is nothing to worry about. Especially for dark sphynxu with owners encounter most frequently.

Sphynx is not like a Sphynx

There are two breedswhich have, in the name of the sphynx-Canadian sphynx, Donskoy sphynx. If someone uses only the term sphynx (and so is the breed registered) talking about Canada. Some organizations but fully recognized breed Donskoy sphynx. Donskoy sphynx, but from that of the Canadian view, one of its different varieties may be variously hairy and mainly is bezsrstost otherwise genetically controlled, because the gene is dominant, and transmits it to all their kittens. Another bezsrstym breed and are Peterbaldi, who are sometimes called Peterbursky sphynx (breed bred from crosses of Don sphynxe with Oriental cat).

Termosphynxici

Sphynxici are different, and that in all, not only their beautiful ufounkoviteho appearance. Most of their different nature, if you have a home yet another cat breed. Typical for them to curiosity, high intelligence and pratelskost. For someone may look ugly, but if you take sphynxe in my hand, surprise you, how are gay and soft to the touch. Love contact with their panicky, they are still getting cosy-dubbed them the Velcro (adhere and won't let you) and it works great as ohrivaci.

Because they are very gregarious and fearless sphynxove, quickly making friends with the other animals in the family, whether it's the dog or cat. In the new home will make him happy high scraper, which will have as their point of view.

Many breed naked + of allergy sufferers welcomed, because it may be a chance for them to have a cat at home. But a man must know whether his allergy causes hair or protein from cat saliva, or particles of their skin, etc, and every cat could otherwise irritate (produce different amounts of allergen). It is always good, therefore, to arrange a visit in the kennel, where possible, recurring, and see how you stand.

Health and care

It is clear that the sphynxiku will not be made for their owners need to prune and also will not go to work in black clothes, the hair-but the pie does not mean that one should not be given to their skin. As well as other bezsrsta breeds need regular bathing (about once a week-14 days), in the meantime, you can rub vlhcenymi napkins for babies. Some sphynxici are more sensitive, it is necessary to use the shampoo for babies or special resources for sphynxe. More care must also be paid to the owner of the zoubkum, and drapkum with ouskami, which is a lot of u's stain.

Although they lack hair, don't knock at the apartment in winter, but they actively search for heat source, so at home with the warmth of the heating, the window, or shall be affixed to the computer monitor. And of course the best heating is with the panickem under the blanket. Just the way you should recall some ensemble, on the contrary, in the summer in the Sun can burn.

The health page, you should keep an eye on sphynxu for the disease known as cardiomyopathy, HCM or hypetroficka unfortunately is not yet for sphynxe available genetic test. New nahacka, therefore, choose from the tested lines (examination of the heart, it is necessary to repeat every year). The average life expectancy is 15 years.
