Hi please could anyone advice me on any rules and regulations regarding using my sphynx as a stud, i have looked into this but find there is not a lot of information about so any ideas would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.

Hi these are quite rare arent they? do you have any pics?

hi yes i just posted a few in the galleries here xx

unfortunately im on my laptop all the really clear close up pics are on my other pc but will post some clearer pics tomorrow, he is beautiful!!!

Was your cat bought on the active register, and did you have a contract when you got him?
Unless he has specifically been bought as a stud, he probably won't be registered as a breeding boy.

yes he was and i also spoke about this to the breeder that i may like to offer him to stud at some stage .

Does this mean he wont be able to be used for stud then, i have all his papers?? and yes a contract was signed also.

Well if he is registered 'active' and you have a contract to state that he can be used as a stud, then I don't see why not.
This might sound a funny question - but do you actually breed, or do you have an entire male that you want to offer as a stud?

If he's on the active register then he can be used for stud. If you are in a breed club that is probably the best place to make him known - most breed clubs hold a stud list. Also you need to show him to get him known.

You must make sure you have secure accommodation for the visiting queens and you will need to have him tested for FELV and FIV (and possibly blood type depending on your breed's rules).

Hiya Liz, just drifting off a little from this post. I have never had visiting queens to my studs. Could you elaborate a little on exactyly what they have to be tested for, just in case i decide to go down that route? Many thanks, c.x.
