Beautiful breed, but I was not prepared for the reality of owning a Sphynx

I hate to write a negative review because I do love my Sphynx. loves people is genuinely wonderful. But I feel I owe future owners honesty about what this breed actually requires.

needs weekly bathing — and I mean seriously. I had no idea how much this would affect my life. gets cold easily has been the biggest challenge. I've had to make major lifestyle changes.

The health costs have been significant. skin conditions. We've spent thousands we didn't plan for. I wish breeders and breed guides were more upfront about this.

Two stars — not because the breed isn't wonderful, but because the mismatch between expectations and reality has been hard. Do thorough research before committing.
