Re: Cross Breeding...
Okay... let me give a really obscure example of what I mean... lets talk about apples.

I have 100 apples, I am going to give you one, and tell you, you are not allowed to plant the seeds and make any more apples.

I have 99 apples, and you go off with your apple quite happily.

As you are not allowed to make apples with it, you decide to plant to seeds and turn the produce into apple puree.

I still have the same amount of apples, you still have you original apple, the only difference is, there is a load of puree in the world too. You haven't done anything to my apples, or any other farmers apples.

Do you see my point, of have I just made you all think I'm a bit crazy... about apples.

Unless they are passing off a cross as a NF then they are doing nothing to the NF breed surely? Even if they were trying to pass off a cross as an NF its more an issue for trades description. That offspring would never end up back in an NF breeding line as he/she would have no papers.

Re: Cross Breeding...
Not really no, because apples are meant to be made into lots of things, preserving animals is another matter

tbh, I don't really have a proper opinion yet, I am just asking questions and trying to form a well thought out one.
Its the 'whys' I am having problems with.

I own a UK Gr Pr oriental black who is 7 generations from a moggie kitten found with her Mum under a gooseberry bush. A line of siamese and orientals were created (above board all registered with the GCCF) from that moggie. He is a pedigree with hopefully a nice bit of hybrid vigour behind him - he is 10yrs old now and still looks the same as he did when he got his UK at the age of 3yrs.

Re: Cross Breeding...
There clearly are no right or wrong answers here - it's a matter of opinion and preference.

I like moggies but I don't class persian x siamese (for example) as moggies that is a deliberate mix. I see moggies as produce of a cat of unknown origin, mother isn't clearly indentified as a breed and father is unknown.

I know my personal choice is 'pure' whatever the breed. I don't want something that almost looks like something - I want the real thing.

It's a bit like diamonds & diamonique, they may look similar but you know they're not

I just don't see why people don't breed the same 'type' of breeds together, perhaps it's a mental thing, when I see ads for crosses of anything it makes me feel that they just couldn't be bothered to look after them properly or it wouldn't have happened. I know accidents happen when you keep multi breed households. Most of these crossbreeds are purposely bred. So even if people are going to breed un-reg cats why can't they be of the same breed?

Just my thoughts not aimed at anyone in particular
