If a cat is registered as non active, is there no way you can have them as a stud?

Thanks.

There's nothing to stop anyone breeding from a cat which is on the non-active register though obviously one would hope that they wouldn't. Breeding from a non-active cat, whether male or female, would mean that GCCF would not register the kittens and of course the breeder who sold the non-active cat(s) in the first place wouldn't be very happy.

well, of course you could, but 99% are sold with neutering contracts.

some breeders *might* lift it if he is a good example, BUT you should have talked to the breeder beforehand, so she could choose the pick of the litter, plus they normally dont sell to people with less then 3girls, and its not the best life for astud, you will have to get a heated house outside as he will cry / spray and some poo everywhere to attract a mate.

advice? netuer him at 5-6months befrore he learns this 'habbit'

wouldn't it also be fair to say that some cats on the non-active register would be unsuitable to breed from ?

I mean like have some kind of "flaw" that they could/would pass on ?

Thats true they could have but I feel some breeders use the none active register too much, I know its hard to know who to trust but theirs so many beautiful cats neutered so soon.

You'd make the breeder very unhappy. It is possible that the cat may be non-active because of some serious fault but it's far more likely to be simply because the breeder doesn't want to sell cats for breeding, either at all, or not males, or to you. Often the breeder has no say in this because it is imposed by the owner of the stud she used.

I dont really think their would be a serious fault as if their was surely the whole litter should be reg as none active and the parents removed from breeding? I really think the none active is just their to protect breeders so them and only them can breed, It makes it very hard for new breeders to get breeding stock.

Thank you all.

I'm not breeding or thinking of it just yet but I'm looking for a new BSH since mine passed and am confused by this non active/active register makarky.

Breeders sell them as non active, so if you had a non active male, but an active female, could you not be a breeder or register the kittens? Oh I'm confused, lol!

This must surely be the case if there is a serious fault in one then the potential is there for any litter mate to carry that fault .

active = for breeding, talk to breeder beforehand so she can pick the best of the litter.

boys are only sold to people with more than 3even 4 girls, you need to know about owning a stud keeping him happy, may have restrictions on him like not letting other use him, not selling his offspring on active for breeding, you may have to show him to prove that he is a good example etc

boys need outside house, or inside properly made e.g. tiles (easy to clean) for the spray a neutered cat for a friend when girls arent visiting, the ones i know poo everywhere to attract girls, and spray up and over everything and my god! does it smell!! they cry and call to mates (need good neighbours)

non active = pet, not for breeding to be neutered at 5-6months.
some pets are suitable for breeding but the breeder is selling them as pets only, some may have off centre markings etc etc
