Then, why may i ask did a breeder we may be purchasing a kitten off, say that if we could assure her in some way (don't know how) that we would breed responsibly, and only to a pedigree si, not to any old tom that she would think about putting the kitten on active? |

Luke you should be honest with the breeder from the outset... if your mum is thinking about breeding she should mention it. The breeder might say they will lift the endorsment and put the cat on the active register after inspecting it when its matured, they may also say you must pay a fee in line with that of a breeding animal too (ie so the total you pay is what you would have paid for a breeding queen /stud to begin with). They might also specify that it can only be bred with cats they (the breeder) approves etc At the end of the day the breeder will have final say on whether or not the cat can be bred and on what basis - which is understandable as they have worked hard with their 'lines' and don't want people to wreck that in anyway... |

Hi Az i see what your saying, see i didnt have the foggiest what all this active, non active stuff means twas very confusing (mind you dont take a lot to confuse me ) anyways we aren't intersted in buying a pedigree to breed, we just want a pet but a litter would have been nice, but to have the right kitten regardless of registration is more important to me |

I would not advise to you to breed from any breed of cat think of all the pet cats & kittens (non pedigree's) & think of all the stray cats & kittens that have been abandond in care homes & it's a struggle to find homes for them & yes they will be neutered if they find homes for them. |

well find the breed you want and go on a waiting list for a pet cat it will be cheeper than a queen and it will not matter if its male or female after it has been 'done' and you will also find a breeder faster then you are now |

Another thing I was going to say is Breeding can be very expensive you dont make any money it's all paying out think of the Vets bills, Stud fee's and the innoculations ah yes and the Registration fees & feeding the kittens & the Queen (thats what they call a female) you will be out of pocket. I should know as I used to be a breeder but have retired. Sorry!!! I rest my case. |

Some years ago I used to breed & show Siamese & then I bred Oriental Spotties also showing them, one of the spotties I bred became my first homebred Champion & her Mum was made up to a Premier. |
