The Don Sphynx (Donskoy) originated in 1987 from a cat in the city of Rostov-on-Don. Helena Kovalyova ran off some boys kicking a cat in a pillowcase. She took the cat home and noticed that its coat was lacking fur. She tried medical treatments with noticeable change. She then decided to breed the cat with a European Shorthair male. Four healthy kittens were born, two of which carried this sparse phenotype. Irina Nemykina acquired a kitten from this first litter and started a breeding program. That is when Don SPHYNX became an entity. Its main characteristic is its lack of hair. It was registered in the World Cat Federation as a breed in 1996. Unlike the Canadian Sphynx, the gene occurring from this spontaneous mutation is the dominant gene and is the first truly hairless cat. The Don Sphynx (Donskoy) are elegant, sturdy with strong boning. They are a soft-hearted good-natured social cat that is active, friendly, and highly intelligent. They are very affectionate and loving animals. The PETERBALD breed was created at the end of 1994 in St. Petersburg, Russia as the result of experimental mating of a Don Sphynx male called Afinogen Myth and an Oriental Shorthair female World Champion Radma von Jagerhov, by a well known Russian felinologist named Olga S. Mironova. The first two litters gave four peterbald kittens: Mandarin iz Murino, Muscat iz Murino, Nezhenka iz Murino, and Nocturne iz Murino. These four peterbalds are the founders of the breed. Originally the name "Sphynx" was attributed to hairless cats, bred on the basis of the mutation revealed in Canada. Canadian mutation is appointed to a recessive allele - hr. Specimens that are homozygous for this allele (hrhr) do not always display hairlessness in its full expression. Sometimes they have a thin residual coat with a corrupted texture that is more prominent on the legs, muzzle, and tail (these are so-called Points). The Russian mutation the Don Sphynx & the Peterbald behaved in some other way. It revealed itself as early as the first generation from two cats - normal and hairless. The results of such mating are quite mixed. Some heterozygous offspring had a residual curly coat, which could be extremely short ("velour") or of normal length but rare, and shafts of hair were thin. These coat texture abnormalities often came together with a bald spot on the crown. These kittens lost their coat as they grew older - hair bulbs died on some regions or on all surfaces of the skin (except for points). The "shedding" happened in the period from two months to three years of age. Other heterozygous kittens were born with thick curly hair of normal length staying coated for life. These animals are called "brush".Among the second generation, animals from both "shed' parents or one "brush" and one "shed", were born completely "Hairless at Birth". Their elastic large skin was wrinkled and some had no whiskers.The most evident Don Sphynx feature is reduced growth (which also correlates with the coat development) "hairless" and sometimes "velour" animals grow noticeably slower than their "coated" siblings. In the adult age they are virtually the same size. This kind of "hairlessness" also influences the cat's behavior.
