There is a special literature, which describes in detail how to start breeding breeding cats. After all, each breed has its own characteristics, advantages or disadvantages over others. An important detail is that this hobby requires knowledge from the field of genetics, zoology, veterinary medicine. In general, this should be a part of your life, and not just a hobby. But let us dwell on a brief description of the process of breeding pedigreed cats.
It should start with the fact that breeding breeding cats is much more difficult than usual. After all, you need to adapt to their narva, indulge their habits, wall out the "misfortunes and misfortunes," watch them, sometimes even around the clock.
Before you start breeding this or that breed, you must necessarily include a cold mind and calculate the costs. After all, here, as in ordinary business, you will not get a profit without costs. First of all it concerns vaccinations. And secondly, the owners of "star" pets charge a considerable fee for the mating. It is also important that your "bride" or "groom" should have a "dowry" - proof that she is thoroughbred, healthy, with a clean pedigree. A considerable role in this is played by awards from exhibitions, which also costs money, but also the risk of contracting diseases, which then will also fall on the shoulders of the owners (therefore, caring breadwinners pierce their animals with special preparations that increase immunity). And yet, so that everything went smoothly, you need help from a doctor at birth. Naturally, this service is also paid.
Breeding cats can make a lot of trouble in the ordinary way of life. It is necessary to be ready for unpleasant smells. Although if the house does not have a "breeding" cat, clean-minded owners will not have problems with this.
In your home should be quite a large space, because the brood of kittens first will live for a while with you. It happens that some kittens are born infertile, or become ill. It is impossible to sell them, so you need to be prepared to keep the animal, provide care or give to those who wish for free. Although many owners of these kittens are euthanized ...
In order to break through into the light, as already mentioned above, you need to participate in exhibitions. They help to find out the competitiveness, so to speak, of your animal. Preparation for them takes a lot of effort. Modern technology has penetrated into this industry, so it's too expensive to bring your favorite to a worthy appearance. And not all cat procedures are taken with joy.
Not immediately you will have the opportunity to find a suitable pair, and in order for you to be allowed to mate, a cat needs to have at least one title. For the cat requirements above - you need a few titles, positive reviews, the most important role is played by his already produced offspring. The offspring should be better than the parents, so when choosing a pair, the pedigree of the cats is also evaluated: the offspring will not succeed if the cats have close relatives (something akin to human incest). The conditions are set by the owner of the cat: he can agree on money, or ask for a number of born kittens. It is worth noting that the owners of cats are attentive to the process of mating, which lasts for several days.
After the birth of the kittens for the owners comes a rather difficult period: you need to accustom them to the pot, monitor the relationship with the mother cat (not all breeds are careful about their offspring). You need to know about the amount of milk: do you have enough for the kittens. If not, buy the mixture and feed it with a pipette. Kittens are excreted worms and vaccinated. To sell advise from three months when they already wean from mother's milk. Earlier - there is no sense, an incomplete cat can grow up.
As you can see, breeding cats, and even pedigreed cats, is quite a busy occupation. In addition, the right to breed thoroughbred cats should still be obtained - to become a member of the recognized cats breeding society. Beginning breeding, one must remember: this is done not to increase the number of cats of one breed, but to improve the breed. And the lion's share of cash received from transactions, goes to the very same pets.
