Do not be afraid or shy to ask your sphynx breeder to send you a copy of the HCM results of the breeding cats results.

2. and a contract is signed between you and your breeder. The contract protects you and your breeder, the contract should state clauses like if your sphynx cat is found with a genetic fault condition, the breeder will replace your cat,etc. Most genetic faults are discovered usually after 6 months cos this is the time that cats go thru body maturation.

I am saying this because a few of us who purchased our sphynxes from Asian breeders are now having problems with our sphynx cats.
