Are you sure this breeder hasn't actually been suspended from the gccf? i can't see how she could still be a registered breeder with these ethics. Have you checked the list of suspended membes on the gccf website?

If this lady is a new breeder , then it is not the best way to go about getting a name for her self

Agreed. But it doesn't always happen, as another friend of mine found out to her cost when she bought a breeding queen that had to be PTS in her first year of life. And this was also a Bengal bought from a registered Bengal breeder.

Again unfortunately even registered breeders aren't always as ethical as they should be-to be honest some actually adopt unwell kittens out or kittens with minor problems without making new families aware of any issues-which tragically causes heartache for all concerned but in fairness sometimes a kitten can be as healthy as you like and with no warning...

Hi

I am really so sorry to hear of the problems you have encountered.

I would add that being a "registered" breeder actually only means that a) you have a prefix and b) you generally are a member of a breed club and will/should have attended a seminar/(s). (Different breed clubs may have different policies) You generally sign up to a code of ethics but at the end of the day this isn't "policed" as such; no-one is likely to turn up on your doorstep to inspect how you keep your cats etc. I would add that 98% of registered breeders are genuine caring people but it is the other one or two uncaring percent who give us a bad name.

If you feel unhappy about the breeder in question and her treatment of you or her cats then perhaps you could raise it with the committee of the breed club of which she is a registered breeder. They could then look into it and ascertain whether they wish to have her as a registered breeder with them or rescind her membership.

shocking behaviour - bad breeder, defo. Sorry you were so badly misled Tracey.
