Time and time again, breeders & fanciers often refer back to the "old lines" of Sphynx.  These are the cats that provided the foundation for today's cats.  Such lines are Rinkurl, Amenophis, Apophis, Britanya, Prophecy, Gailray, Belfry, Kitnhuyse, Kattewyk, Foxwellhall & Bemisu to name a few.

The cats of the "old lines" are stunning, beautiful examples of what every breeder today should mimick in their own programs. 

Many thanks to the following people for providing me with the pictures to share below:  Joan Simmons, Tracy Tomlinson, Michelle Berg, Linda K. Williams, Blake Gipson, Donna Roberds, Carol Richards, Theresa Abeita, Wil Olfers, Robyne L. Head, N. Lynn Taylor, Janis Larson, Satu Salminen, Karolina Leitnerova
