I found this 101 breed special on the Sphinx and you're right, they aren't hyper-allergenic:

I don't think so as its on the skin, but not certain. Maybe the curly hair of some of the Rex's traps the dander???!

Are Sphinxes low Dander cats like some the Rex breeds?  If so, I'll have to add them to my list of breeds to try with my Asthma.

I suppose it is like when the girls were spayed, Bob's colour markings were on her skin as were Pip's tabby ones, as they are hairless cats it makes sense.

I lurve the Selkirk Rex. You wouldn't want to be hairless in Selkirk, far too cold :evillaugh:

I think we all miss Thierry, and, :'( goes without saying, his Mum :'(

Yes, they have all the colourings of 'normal' cats, just not the fur!

A girl I work with has one, I need to meet him.

I was searching for curly haired cats and found the Selkirk Rex  :Luv2:

Yes, they are lovely :) I used to have several hairless pet rats and they varied in colour too from very pink to darker tones.

Beautiful Sphynx cats. I didn't realise there were different colours.
