Sphynx cats are a rare, hairless feline breed that demands lots of care and quality breeding if the litter is to produce healthy and nice looking animals. Finding a Sphynx stud is sometimes not easy but making the right connection is an important part of the breeding process.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine what you're looking for in your Sphynx stud and what level of pedigree you demand for the stud. You can calibrate your needs by thinking about whether you plan to breed, sell or keep and raise the kittens that the Sphynx stud helps produce.

  2. Step 2

    Contact professional Sphynx breeders to find out what studs they have available and what the terms of the breeding will be. Look at breeders like Kikapoo Sphynx, Oh Naturel and Zeba. When you speak with the breeder ask about the appearance, health and temperament of the studs they have.

  3. Step 3

    Look at cat and animal advertising and forum websites such as Cat Channel or the PetsAds to find breeders who have studs on hand. Also, place your own ad detailing what kind of stud you want, what the cat's behavior should be like and what kind of documentation you're interested in seeing.

  4. Step 4

    Consult with a veterinarian and a Sphynx expert before you pay for the stud's services so you know what you're getting. If you can get the stud to your usual vet then you should; otherwise, ask to speak with the vet that the stud's owner usually goes to.

  5. Step 5

    Check the stud's track record and ask to see photos of and information about other litters that the stud sired. Also, make sure you negotiate the deal between you and the Sphynx stud owner before you dive into the process.
