It's not normal for them to have breathing problems as severe as that.

Long-haired exotics are still produced regularly today. They usually result from an exotic to Persian mating which is a recognised outcross in the Exotic breed. They are exotic longhairs because the Persian breed doesn't recognise them as Persians for genetic reasons, but that is likely to change in the near future thanks to the variant policy which was approved at the last GCCF committee meeting. Watch this space!

I know, our Dave was bred to the extreme and is very severe, but with lots of TLC and close contact with the vet he is content, each Birthday he passes is a bonus, we bought him as a young adult, he was 18 months old and has now just had his 4th Birthday which we never though we would see. I wish the more open pretty faced Persians and Exotics would be bred to reduce the risk of breathing problems for the likes of our Dave.

My girl, incidentally the one with Slatetown in the pedigree, was very difficult to mate. I know you've been with studs, but have they told you that the boys have mated her? My girl was with three before one managed to get her, and he only succeeded because he was a crafty, very experienced, won't take no for an answer sort of stud. Perhaps that's what you need.

It's important to work out whether she has actually been mated and hasn't conceived, or whether she hasn't even been mated. If she wasn't witnessed mating, I'd be asking why you were charged stud fees too. If she rolls a lot then it will be very difficult for the boys to mate her.

I found that taking her to stud on the second day of a call is the most effective time.
Well, the second or third day. You should also wait until she's in a strong call. Does she show aggression towards the stud boys? This can put some males off altogether.

As I say, please feel free to contact me more privately if you want more information on the pedigree etc.

eventually managed to msg you

i cant seem to msg you

Got a message from you today, Suzanne, so you must have sorted it out! I did send you one yesterday and have replied today, so let me know here if you don't get that.

Sharon, I think that it's poor breeding rather than anything else which makes Persians end up with horrendous breathing problems. I've seen quite a few typey cats now who have none of the problems that you mention in your poor boy. I guess it's just luck of the draw, and I'm playing devil's advocate here as both my girls are open. It's difficult to breed type from opens though, but I'll persist. I want those big nostrils that my girls have.

Have you considered she may have already been speyed? Lots of unscrupulous people selling cats. You have just learnt 1st lesson in breeding. If someone has a good queen that produces kittens they do not sell it. If they do it's got a problem. Usually! Gccf are totally useless with any problems they say it's a civil matter. Been there! Sorry you had this problem, just learn from it.
