These are my two Domestic Shorthair Kittens named Fushia and Jasmine. They will be part of my Sphynx Outcross Program. They are now 6 months old, and are very loving, playful, healthy, and beauiful. AboutOutcrossing is essential in every purebred breed to ensure that breeds future, by broadening the gene pool and strengthening the immune system and vigor in that breed. The Sphynx is no different and therefore responsible outcrossing is encouraged. The Devon Rex was used to outcross with, in the early years of the Sphynx. This crossing is not a favorable outcross anymore and most now use the Domestic or the American Shorthair. In the first outcross generation, all the kittens will look like ordinary cats. The best kitten out of this litter will be bred to a Sphynx again to get F2 kittens....which could have naked kittens in the litter, as well as hairy kittens. One of these naked kittens ar selected and the bred to a Sphynx, the next litter then results in all naked sphynx kittens. |
