	Sphynx (cat) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sphynx cats are not hypoallergenic[1], in fact they can be even worse for severely allergic people than furred cats.
		Sphynx hairlessness is produced by an allele of the same gene that produces the Devon Rex, which has only one of the usual two fur coats.
		Sphynx were at one time crossbred with Devon Rex in an attempt to strengthen this gene, but unfortunately this led to serious dental or nervous-system problems and is now forbidden in most breed standards associations.

	The Don Sphynx, A Naked, Happy Slav!
		The history of the Don began in 1987 with the discovery of a naked cat in the streets of Rostov.
		Unlike the Canadian Sphynx, whose gene responsible for nakedness is recessive, the Don Sphynx is naked because of a dominant gene.
		The breeders then had to avoid the temptation to mate their cats with the Canadian Sphynx, not only because the gene was different, but also and above all because it quickly would have become very hard to recognise the morphological differences of each breed.

	The story of the Don Sphynx
		The appearance of the genetic mutation in the first offspring resulting from the mating of hairless females with common longhair males has allowed a theory that, unlike the earlier established Canadian Sphynx which is determined by a simple recessive allele, the Russian mutation is that of a dominant nature.
		Rather, it would be correct to describe this as the product of an "incomplete" dominance of Don Sphynx's mutated gene which is the determinant of the presence of the fur in cats (similar to the manner of incomplete dominance of Canadian Sphynx's hr gene as it relates to Devon Rex's re gene).
		Initially the Dons' coloration was not known for its variety - it was mainly fl, blue-tabby, and blue and fl.
