A cat fascinating in appearance, but perhaps even more in character - quiet, but playful and curious, loves human contact, it never scratches. Don Sphynx comes from Russia. It is hairless due to a natural genetic mutations of a common house cat, as in "Canadian Sphynx" (another hairless breed), unlike its, the Don sphynx’s gene is dominant. This means that most of the kittens having at least one of the parents of a Don Sphynx breed could born hairless. Don Sphynx (EMS Code DSP - FIFe / DSX - other organizations) has been bred in all known colors, it is a medium-sized cat. A very social breed!

We are a small family kennel of a rare breed of Don Sphynx hairless cats - EMS code DSP (DSX). Our cattery is organized with FIFe (Fédération Internationale Féline). All the cats in our kennel are kept in a loving family environment. Great emphasis is placed on their health (tests for FIV and FeLV negative, extra vaccinations, preventive screening for eyes - MVDr. J. Beránek Ophtalmology, and other regular veterinary care - Veterinary Hospital Aesculap, Pardubice, CZ). Mental balance and exterior quality proper to the Don Sphynx breed are also considered very important in our cattery. |

Since 1st January 2011 we can finally take part in Best in Shows and compete for higher titles!
Each cattery, that wants to breed cats with a certificate of origin (pedigree), must be registered with some of the breeding organizations. This used to be a dilemma for Don Sphynx breeders until May 2010 when don sphynx was fully recognised.
Till that time Don Sphynx was in a different position with various organizations, which was a result of the relatively short history of this cat breed. While e.g. WCF (World Cat Federation) and many others had recognized Don Sphynx in full a few years before, FIFe (Fédération Internationale Féline) – the most common cat fancier society in the Czech Republic - still classified Don Sphynx as so-called pre-recognized breed.
