Anele - a lot of people agree with us - but it is Easter Sunday. Hopefully they will be in here tomorrow or Tuesday.
What?! The name of the paper that you supply with your cat is the 'pedigree'. If you advertise 'pedigree but no papers' you are saying 'papers but no papers'. To have a pedigree cat you have to have the pedigree papers. It matters not one whit that you have cats that you believe to be purebred - if you advertise them as pedigree cats they have to have papers.
Here's the GCCF take on it
"When a cat or kitten is advertised or sold as a pedigree cat or kitten the breeder shall, at the time of sale, provide the purchaser with a properly completed pedigree signed by the breeder, carrying 3 generations at least, showing all the breed numbers and registration numbers, also the breeder's name and address."
You can see quite plainly there that a pedigree is the name of the paper showing the ancestry.

So you think you are better than me then and you need to bring it down to my level?

I don't think I am better than you. I don't know you at all. However you do take the moral high ground over me, telling me I don't love my cats, and how it is wrong to make money from breeding. Take a bit of your own medicine, Alan. Don't think you can insult and patronise me publically and get away with it. If you are so insistent that nothing is wrong with what BYBs do and I find myself having to bring it down to the level of a bloke in a dirty mac for you to understand - then what can I do about it?

I'm quite aware that there is nothing in it for me, it just annoys me that you are such a hypocrite.

In what way am I a hypocrite, Alan?

Registered breeders have rules set in stone??? if so why..
1.is there a registered breeder advertising both registered and non registered cats on a internet site?
2.my friend took her unregistered cat to a gccf breeder to use her stud cat(a very successful show cat)and charged her £100.
3.breeders register kittens under false mothers names??
Why would anyone go to trading standards because i didnt supply papers? if they wanted papers they would buy registered.

Registered breeders have a code of ethics that they have to adhere to. If your friend managed to get a mating with a showcat for only £100 then that breeder is doing herself and the breed no favours.
Registered breeders should not register kittens under false names.
You know some very dodgy people.
As for trading standards - I don't think your customers would want to go to trading standards. But certainly a registered and bitter Ragdoll breeder might want to have you closed down.
