✨ Wissenswertes

Unlike the Sphynx (recessive hairless), the Donskoy's hairlessness is caused by a dominant gene — meaning a single copy produces hairlessness in offspring.

A hairless breed from Russia, distinct from the Sphynx (different hairlessness gene — dominant vs. recessive). Wrinkled skin, large ears, and webbed toes. Can present in four coat types: completely bald, flocked, velour, and brush.
