well..yeah..u need to concentrate on the showing first and get to know the breed (not breeding)...only after u know what u want to produce and good knowledge on the chosen breed then u can start breeding.

remember, breeding not just put male and female together to produce kittens!. Sometimes, it takes many years for someone to decide what to breed and what to expect (to produce a better quality).

do not mixed the breed unless its approve by the associations (such as american curl+dlh)...u must study this.
