Short description

The Donskoy is one of the hairless breeds. She has a balnaced nature and is very affctionate. Therefore, she needs a lot of devotion and attention. She is active and likes to play and run around. Keep in mind that Donskoy cats must always have whiskers, missing whiskers are the product of inbreeding, which causes painful and even life-threatenig genetic defects.
