There is something special about bambino.
You can only see it when you get to know them.
No photo on the Internet can convey this feeling, no video can show their true friendly nature.
They are a very special breed of cat, and I wouldn't trade them for any other.

Dance, little bambino: Why these cats make life brighter ?! ⬇️
Warmed by the summer sunshine, I sit next to the window, watching my Tommy, a bambino cat, change my attitude to life and make it brighter. With each new day, he brings joy and inexhaustible energy to my heart.
When I first met the bambino, they impressed me with their grace and speed.
They seem to dance on their short legs, creating a real show of attractive movements. Every jump and take-off seemed like a real little dance. Tommy has a way of crawling out of the most unlikely places and soaring to great heights, leaving me in awe of his jumping skills.
But their dancing skills are only one aspect that makes them special. The big, bright eyes of this cat pe*****te to the very depths of my heart.
And when he gently puts his little paws in my palms, I feel my problems dissolve from their presence.
One of the most charming things about bambinos is their direct and playful personality.
Thomas is always ready to join in the game, whether it's crossing threads or hunting for the elusive laser beam. He really knows how to have fun, but at the same time he is always close to me, like a true friend.
This makes the breed more like a dog than a cat.
Isn't it amazing?

This article is for those who have already decided that they will live with a cat, but cannot choose a breed. After all, there are about 55 breeds according to different classifications...
How to decide? Size?
Length of hair, or maybe no hair at all?
Colour?
Gender?
What is important to consider?
How not to make a mistake?
OK☺️
Let's take things one step at a time.
Take a piece of paper and a pen to write down the pros and cons and answer your questions.
✓What are my habits and interests? Put a plus sign next to the cat breeds you've considered that match your interests and habits.
Or, more simply, your personality.
✓What kind of breed temperament should my cat have?
Will he be melancholic and lie on the couch all day? Or do I plan to travel with my cat?
Think about it and write it down.
✓How much time am I willing to spend on cat care?
Don't be surprised, this is a very important question. Am I ready for frequent grooming if the cat is long-haired and you just can't avoid it? Or do I not like hair and it is enough for me to wash my cat once a week? How long will it take me to clean the house of hair, and am I ready for it? Here's an example. Also consider going to the vet, claw trimming, teeth and ear cleaning, etc.
✓How much am I willing to spend on cat care per month? A big cat does not always mean big problems. You need to weigh up everything, not just feeding. Although yes, it is obvious that the larger the cat breed, the more it eats....
Thus, we have described the picture of our breed for ourselves. Think about all the pros and cons. This is a very important step, because this is what responsible owners do.

My cats are my children.
I try to provide them with the best care possible.
The Bambino breed is known for its uncompromising roughness, short legs, and excellent health. However, there is something you should знати⬇️
I spend a lot of time with my cats outside, taking them on picnics, and as a breeder, I know that Bambino skin is very sensitive to the sun, so it can burn easily, which can lead to painful burns.
Gentle skin care is especially important for them when walking outside, so using sunscreen is a must if you decide to take your naked cat for a walk.
Of course, I walk and travel with my cats only in summer, as they are not comfortable in winter.

Do cats need to drink milk?
Anya, the owner of our sphynx, had a question about whether the kitten she took from us at the age of 3 months should be given milk on a regular basis with her food or drink it separately.
All kittens drink their mother's milk. But it is important to understand that it is very different in composition from home or store milk. It has a completely different percentage of fats and proteins. Therefore, the answer to the question of whether kittens can have milk is yes, but only their mother's milk.
After three months, adult cats and kittens no longer need such saturation with their mother's milk.
Their bodies have already formed. Unfortunately, with age, this species of animal begins to break down lactose (milk sugar) worse, so after eating regular homemade or store-bought milk, they may develop diarrhoea or other symptoms of intestinal problems. That is why it is better not to give such a product to adult cats. Although there are animals that do not have a strong negative reaction to store or homemade milk, it still does not bring them any benefit.
Therefore, the statement that all cats need milk is the same myth as all dogs need a bone.
Where these myths come from is another question.
We managed to convince our owner and explain that it is better to try to replace milk with fermented milk products such as kefir, cottage cheese, and baked fermented milk.
Although, to be honest, I don't even give them that. I just buy a probiotic for cats, such as Purina Pro Plan FortiFlora Feline Probiotic.
If you overdo it with dairy products, it will also provoke digestive disorders.
It is better not to take risks.
There are balanced wet and dry foods that are better suited for cats.

My opinion as a breeder's dog handler with 10 years of experience regarding experimental cat breeds.
Namely, bambinos, elves, dwarves.
This is not accepted in cynology.
To cross breeds. This stage has long been behind us, about 200 years (peak) ago, when there was a need to breed new hunting and herding dogs.
There is no such need in the 21st century, so all those who make experiments, for example, on combining poodles and bolonkas to get the famous "maltipas" are not engaged in breeding, but rather commercial work, offering very expensive mixes.
But in the world of felinology, everything is completely different.
Can you imagine that there are only 43-44 cat breeds (53 in TICA).
This is very few compared to the more than 400 dog breeds.
Why?
Because cats have not been bred as hard as dogs over the centuries.
There was no need, the cat did not herd flocks of sheep, did not accompany the owner on hunting, and did not participate in animal fights that were fashionable a couple of centuries ago. And the cat did not guard the house, except from mice and evil spirits....
There was no need to fix new natural mutations and develop interesting cat breeds. And how many cool breeds could have emerged...
Until the cat became a reliable companion on a par with the dog in the 2nd half of the 20th century.
Felinology began to develop actively not on a commercial basis, but simply because there was finally a need for a purebred cat as a pet.
Why do dachshunds and basset hounds have the right to exist, but bambinos, machinas, and dolphins do not?
This is a natural mutation that has finally been fixed.
To improve the health of the sphynxes, the blood of fluffy cats was added and voila, we got such interesting, extraordinary cats with a good backbone, a special breed temperament and clear breed standards that we could not resist their cuteness and fun.
Felinologists have a separate group for breeding new breeds - the experimental group (again, I emphasise that cynology does not have such a thing, it is simply outside the classification, but it is not quite the same). We are witnessing the development of new cat breeds right before our eyes. In different parts of the world, cats are born with interesting natural mutations that no one paid attention to before, and now finally such cats are valuable in breeding new ones and improving the existing ones.

5 mistakes owners make when choosing a kitten!🤔⬇️
1.Buying kittens from an unregistered cattery.
I always have doubts about the so-called "papi mil farms" that give away kittens before the age of 3 months, unvaccinated and untested for health.
2. Buying a kitten without a metric(birth certificate ). This is only possible when you take an animal from a shelter without paying money for it. The shelter at least has guarantees that the animal has been properly vaccinated and sterilised. And if the cat has had any illnesses, you will be informed about it.
3. Buying a kitten without getting acquainted with the kitten's parents and without seeing supporting documents about the parents' health.
It is also desirable that the kitten itself has the necessary health tests. Confirmation of a healthy heart is especially important.
4. Failure to conclude a contract with the breeder of the kitten, which clearly states the rights and obligations of the breeder and the rights and obligations of the future owner of the kitten.
5. Choosing a kitten based on a beautiful emotional photo is not right.
First of all, you need to find out from the breeder about the temperament of the breed, and about the character of each kitten at the age of 3 months (because the character is not yet visible).
First of all, you need to choose a kitten based on these characteristics, not on the colour or a beautiful photo.
This is your future family member and you will live with him for many years.
Character is the basis of your relationship.
My slogan is "from a responsible breeder for a responsible owner".

My kennel has a policy of not selling kittens and puppies before they are 3 months old. I don't want to risk the life of an animal.
After all, even if a kitten seems independent enough a month after birth, it still needs socialisation and does not have a fully formed body to be independent of its mother. I don't want to prematurely separate an animal from its mother cat.
Also, another reason why I don't give kittens away before they are 3 months old is because of vaccinations. We usually vaccinate kittens around two months of age against panleukopenia, calcivirosis and rhinotracheitis. At this point their own immunity to these diseases begins to form. After 3 weeks, the vaccine is reintroduced to strengthen the immune response. This approach minimises the risk of infecting the kitten with these diseases when she moves to a new home or interacts with other pets 2-3 weeks after vaccination.
Another important aspect is the socialisation of kittens. Newborn kittens play actively with their mother, who raises them according to the hierarchy established in their community. If kittens are weaned from their mother before this age, they do not get their first lessons in feline relationships with people. I had a case where a cat couldn't bring up her own offspring, she refused them herself. These kittens became aggressive, biting and scratching people.
That's why I don't risk giving the kittens away until they are 3 months old and make sure they get the necessary socialisation lessons from their mother.
From the age of three months, the kitten already has all the necessary socialisation skills with the owner. He is much better prepared for life with his new family and for making contact with the outside world. All you need to do is to be patient and wait until the puppy is a little older and then, if it suits me and I am sure everything is OK, I will entrust him to you.

Who are the Dwelf?
For clarification, we need to explain who the Bambino sphinxes and Elves are.
These are three different breeds that are combined with each other to create a cat like the one in the photo.
The breed is very young, but cats have only 44-53 breeds, compared to dogs, which have more than 400 breeds....
Felinology began to develop actively only in the 2nd half of the 20th century.
And breeds are being bred and developed before our eyes. How exciting it is for me.
I see how breeders from different countries are fixing the best breeding qualities in their cats, and it is not for commercial gain, as in dogs in such hybrids as "Maltipoo", etc.
Felinologists really do breeding work and develop new, incredibly interesting breeds.
The most interesting thing is that by adding the blood of other breeds to the sphinx, immunity is improved. That's the destruction of the first myth that short-legged Bambinos have a weakened immune system.
Oh, I have so many more myths to debunk....
In the photo is our baby together, a boy with eyes as beautiful as the sea. You can drown in those eyes....

I found more advantages than disadvantages in the breed.
That's why I insisted on them.
The first advantage was, of course, the lack of hair.
Being a Xolo breeder with 10 years of experience, I simply do not accept dogs or cats with hair anymore.
We considered other options, such as Devon Rex and Orientals, but after getting to know them better, we realised that they were not our breed.
Sphynxes do not require as much attention as a noisy Oriental, and Devon Rex has a difficult moult...
It is very interesting to work with sphynxes in terms of breeding. To date, they have been bred with the Machkin and have created a wonderful breed - the Bambino, a short-legged and very friendly sanguine.
And also with the Curl to create elves, balanced and cautious cats.
These are separate naked breeds and each of them has its own character and specific appearance. They are completely different and not suitable for everyone. The most interesting thing for us was to find out that these breeds are combined with each other, which is strictly forbidden in cynology. So interesting!
How can you resist such a thing.... We couldn't.
We have developed our strategy and a plan for the breeding programme.
And we are starting to work.
The photo is my own.
This is the brother of our grey mouse, whom I will introduce to you later.

Now we have sphinxes in our family.
I would like to start my first post with an introduction.
We are Julian and Julia.
We have been breeders of miniature Xoloitzkuintli dogs since 2014.
So, what does this have to do with sphinx cats?
Well, we have expanded. We spent a couple of years searching for a cat breed that would fascinate us. We studied not only to be a dog trainer but also a felinologist.
The world of cats is no less attractive than that of dogs.
We realised that we lacked sphynxes to complete ourselves, and when we got to know all the breeds of naked cats, elves and bambinos left unforgettable emotions in our hearts.
It seems to me that these are underestimated breeds of hairless cats.
I would like to show you the pros and cons of naked breeds and tell you more about them.
I would like to introduce you to our breeding cats and kittens.
I will definitely reveal all the secrets of naked cats.
Stay with us.
