Hi. I live in Sweden with my male and female Canadian Sphynxs, and their 3 kittens.
I have owned many cats through the years, but only developed allergies to them a few years ago. At the time I was just a dog owner, but wanted cats badly. I heard that the Sphynx breed might be easier on my allergies, so I started to investigate. I have found that if I wipe them down often, everything works out.
These cats come with a HUGE price tag. I wanted 2, as this breed needs a lot of companionship. To offset the price, the breeder came down on the price of the female if I gave her the first litter from this cat. I thought this a great way for my family to get the chance of experiencing kittens, while having a professional breeder find good homes for them.
In 2 weeks the kittens will be 12 weeks, then ready to leave our home. I am dreading this part. That being said, we have recieved a huge interest from friends and family for this breed. The cats we have are show quality, especially the male. I have decided to have him in his first competition this November in Stockholm. Anyways, I have been reading up and think I might be interested in breeding on a small scale. I am a little sickened at how many cats some breeders are keeping. This is a very special breed, and possibly a solution for all those wanting a cat that don't have bad allergies. However, I am against the breeding machine tactics many use.
So I am reading everything I can about becoming a breeder of this breed. I have so many questions, so I am hoping you all can help me out.
