SOAR (Sphynx Open Arms Rescue) on julkaissut hyvän artikkelin siitä millainen on vastuullinen sfinxkasvattaja :) Linkki alkuperäiseen, FB:ssä julkaistuun) Kaikki varmaan ymmärtää enkkua vai pitäisköhän se vielä kääntää?
Tässä on lueteltuna asioita mistä kannattaa kysyä paitsi minulta, myös muilta sfinxkasvattajilta, että miten ne asiat kenenkin kissalassa on :)
Lisään vielä että outcross ei ole autuaaksi tekevä asia, huono sukutaulu ei hyväksi muutu sillä että siihen yhdistää muuta rotua, vaan on pyrittävä kyllä siihen että molemmat puolet ovat mahdollisimman tutkittuja.
