Exclamation Crossbreeding

Is it just me or are there alot of cross bred kittys for sale?

I am always looking at everything cat, looking at breeders websites etc and on the pets4homes website there are so many crossbreeds available!

In particular the bengals??? These cant all be accident? Is this a case of people jumping on the band wagon trying to make a quick buck?

Re: Crossbreeding

There's a ridiculous number of crossbred Bengals that's for sure.

Re: Crossbreeding

I'll be honest... I do not agree with breeding cross breeds or breeding out of nowhere just to make money out of them.

People always say "there is no money in breeding", yes that could be true, if you do it correctly. But alot of selfish people don't, and the kittens suffer because of it.

Re: Crossbreeding

I dont agree with cross breeding when people charge the same (or more) as if they were 100% pedigree

I mean years ago if a breeder had an 'accident' they were sold off cheap as moggies

Its happening with dogs as well, it shouldnt be allowed

Re: Crossbreeding

It's a money making ploy simple really even if the market isn't there, people will still breed them for a quick buck BECAUSE of the pedigree cat involved!
This really peeves me because not only are they filling the market with high priced moggies they are doing the exact same thing as people who let their unspayed roam and then act surprised when she gets knocked up!

Yeah, that's another thing I didn't mention.

I remember when I was searching for my first Ragdoll, I saw sooooooo many Ragdoll X's... they were charging anything between £150 and £200+
Mine are all GCCF registered and come with everything a pure pedigree cat should and I paid £350 each for mine. So how can these people charge these prices for cross breeds and not pure pedigree?

It's rediculous, they're just money grabbers. How people can do it, I will never know.

I wouldn't dream of breeding my cat just to get some cash.
