I know from experience how disheartening it is when BSH breeders won't "let you in" & how difficult it can be to find your first queen/s.
If it helps at all, I found that breeders are more likely to help if they are re homing an older kitten or queen due to a change in breeding programmes. They are also more likely to help as you will be having a breeding programme which differs substancially from theirs, & therefore, offer less competition! You also then get the benefit of having a proven queen, and the first litter you have won't be your cats first, & so hopefully won't be as traumatic for you or your queen!
