Can i be nosy Liz and ask did the litters get smaller as the girls got older? 7/9 seems old to me to be bred from? How come you still bred from a girl of this age?
Well - I've heard a story about 19 years old Maine Coon queen (in US) been chased off the tree to give a birth inside! But Maines are big!
That was from very experienced breeder. Not a very caring one it seems-19
Thats outrageous-imagine giving birth when were 70
