So if you have a girl thats in heat 12 times a year how often do you mate her in that year? Am I right in thinking that its is no more than 3 times over 2 years still??
Each girl is different. Generally speaking three times in two years is enough for the average cat. But if you have a girl that calls much more than the average, then listen to her and mate her every three calls and ignore the '3 times in 2 years' guideline - which are written for and about the average cat.

As long as the girl has recovered her condition and is healthy it should be fine. I think personally I would be inclined to spay the girl after a few litters if she's that persistent though.

I would've too; but the one I am mentioned - is really big girl, eating well, VERY MOMZY, knock the wood - always fool of milk and happy to cuddle and clean any kitten aroung - weather its her' or not. Love her to bits.

So I wouldn't be breaking GCCF rules by mating more than 3 times in 2 years?
And I wouldnt be going against any ethics?

You'll have to get an advice precisely for your girl from her breeder; ask about queens' mom and grandmom......
