So, I don't have a sphynx yet and I'm not planning on bringing one home until at least next December. I have decided (for now anyways) that I'd like to go with a breeder. In the past my animals have always been shelter dogs or strays. My only experience with breeders is limited to those who bred dogs. I assume many of the same qualifications would apply.
I've read that sphynx can be prone to some heart problems, so I'll be looking for a breeder who screens for that. But are there any other common health clearances I should be looking for?
Now, I'm going to apologize for my ignorance, but what about titles? I've always been more of a "dog person" so I'm just curious as to what to look for in a cat breeder. Optimally the sire and dam of the litter should be titled right? Does titling cats work similar as in dog conformation?
