The Sphynx is a robust, medium-sized breed known for its muscular build and visible skin folds. Key physical hallmarks include a large, “pot-bellied” abdomen, oversized ears, and striking lemon-shaped eyes. Their heads are typically wrinkled, often resulting in an inquisitive facial expression. Anatomically, they possess thick paw pads and elongated toes suited for grasping and kneading. Although sturdy and well-boned, a size difference exists between the sexes, with males generally being larger than females.
