Title: Finding a British Shorthair breeder........
Post by: Jules on November 17, 2006, 14:53:51 PM

I friend of mine has her heart set on a British Shorthair kitten (I think it's a silver tabby that she actually wants). I've tried to persuade her to go for a rescue but failing that I want to make sure that if she's going to go to a breeder she finds a really good one where the kittens are well cared for and well socialised but never having had a cat from a breeder before I'm not sure where to start and wondered if someone could point me in the right direction?  ;D

This might be a good place to start :

It's a shame that they don't want to adopt.

Personal recommendation is always good (sorry I can't help there) but if that's not possible I'd go to a breed club that's affiliated to one of the governing bodies that register cats - GCCF is the biggest - such as the one below.? They should have a list of breeders and a kitten list of currently available kittens.

It doesn't guarantee a breeder is reputable but it's a good start.? I'd also recommend your friend reads up on the GCCF website about what to look for in a breeder and what she can expect, if she hasn't already.? It will help her to tell a reputable breeder from a backyard breeder.
