Well myself i don't have much to do with the breeding side of things(above me i'm afraid
) but Ross and his mum have always bred.Ross's mum first bred dogs very successfully (as in show and pet) and had a break then his mum got an old style foundation queen Seal Point Siamese and our cat breeding/affairs started their
If this is something you really want to do and your totally passionate about your chosen breed, i would research the breed/s as much as possible not just by reading up on them but also by attending shows. I don't go to shows as either a visitor or an exhibitor but both Ross and May do. This would be the best way for you to see first hand what the differences are between "pet" and "show" and also learn advice and guidance from both novice and experienced breeders and also from the judges.Then of course you have to take into account the financial side of things-dull as it is-it's not the fastest way to becoming mega rich-by any stretch
Also you really do have to think about your job,social life etc as it is 24hrs with fag/brew breaks as and if possible-if your lucky,plus accommodation for them and you,website design and maintenance,and also at times you do have to be extremely cliniqual with some extremely harsh decisions and always the cats/kitts wellbeing is first and upmost before your emotions-which believe me is really hard to do and really hard to live with-ie-when you say goodbye to a cat/kitt as he/she leaves for a new family, if sadness reigns and one of your cats/kitts leaves for rainbow bridge.These are just a few of the basics in having a breeding home that you seriously have to think long and hard about and yes it's fantastic when all goes accordingly-no feeling like it-but now and then despite every effort,it can go drastically and tradgically tails up so..
