Breeding information required

kitty_and_gucci_2008

Hi All,

Hope you guys can hep me out here.

My partner and I are wanted to breed bengal cats, however there are many websites and information out there, but I wondered if anyone has any good information/advice they could give me please.

Cheers.

you should start with the breeder whom you purchased them from - if they are a reputable breeder they should offer to guide you / mentor you through the process - were they aware that you intended to breed from them when you purchased them?

what are your motivations fro breeding?

lowis

have just seen your other thread...you definitely can't breed from a speyed cat so is this thread now defunct?

Even Bengal kittens that normally demand a high price are not selling for good prices at the moment thakns to the credit crunch. So I am guessing most breeders are barely breaking even normally let alone now. I have said this before and I'll keep saying it: Breeding cannot be done for profit! You can do it for the love of the breed if you genuinely want to help maintain or improve the breed, but you will NEVER make money from it! Quite the opposite - you will need to spend a lot of time and money in picking good sires, stud fees, vet checks, vaccinations, any vet interventions (no insurance will cover this!) and the risk that you could loose the queen and or any or all the kittens...
I did notice your other thread too although didn't bother answering as I think the medical procedure has now been clarified In order to breed you'd have to now invest in a second queen and one with a VERY good pedigree and preferably you should show her before trying to breed her or the kittens will be worth even less...
Breeding is a labour of love... think of it as one VERY expensive hobby

You do realise that Bengal breeders or other breed of cat breeders do not make a profit, they do it out of love for the breed and to keep the breeds traits etc. You also need to be very very very clued up on this.

the op have deff just realised some i mean some bengals go for upto 2000 pounds.

as a few may know i am looking to get a bengal...and i can honestly say i would not buy from op! in order to get the kind of quality pet im looking for..love needs to be the motivation and im sure you can pick these vibes up when checking out breeders websites and homes and parents of kittens.

i cannot belive you would put a poor cat through the process (if you could) of reversial spaying (sp) for your own financial gain!!! that is not love!!!

i know some bengals go for 350 onwards generally and i cant belive that you have sat there and put yourself before even thinking aabout your pets needs.

read the poem on this thread about life from a pets prospective..and maybe it will help you clear your brainless head.

grrrrrrrrr

ps poem under thread HOW COULD YOU. how relevant.

I agree about reading the poem, How could you, it might just make you think. Why do you want to breed? Do you realise that cat rescue centres are full to bursting with unwanted cats without anymore been added unnecessarly?

It's a wind up, you can tell that by the other topic

Op doesnt actually say shes looking to breed her own cat?

BUT seeing as shes looking to make a quick buck, I think we can rest assured she doesn't have the finances to buy a breeding quality cat, let along pay for stud fees (do you pay stud fees for cats?) so I wouldnt be wasting breath telling her how daft shes being

Kimberley

You do indeed have to pay for stud fees if you use someone elses stud.
