I'm only mocking those who feel ppl should only keep RM15 kats or RM5000 kats. What about the in between? A lot of ppl started from RM15 SPCA adoption, including me. Then we would like to upgrade our hobby to something better, maybe not a pedigree persian but something look a like (DLH) that cost RM500. And if we're more serious we go to something like RM5000. But not everyone travelled all the way to a RM5K kats.
So based on the charted above and if everyone followed it then RM500 would ceased to existed? Coz when I mention breeding DLH ppl kinda gimme a funny look and make it seem a sin to breed and telling me there is plenty in SPCA and in the STREET, which I've look here n there for a DLH and found non and had to resort to buying from petshop n frens.
Not everyone will accept or learn, hv you?
So the saying of too many DLH proves not true coz I LOOKED for it and found non. If its so easily found dun you think its impossible that shop can still sell them at RM1000? please answer me this.
Of coz it will never be tht easy for you to pick up a DLH on the street since they are lots of ppl who are willing to RM500 or more for it, as soon as 1 is in the street lots of ppl will pick them up as they know it is worth as least a few hundreds ringgit. The fact is tht there are a lot of sucker out there who are even willing to pay few thousand ringgit for a so call pedigree with no cert to prove & what so impossible for RM1000.
If you guys are talking about "be responsible"...care for the kitten, dun just sell and try to make a big profit try to look into producing healthy kittens provide quality food...this I 100% can accept, but dun go give me lame excuses that there are TOO many DLH lying around.
Responsible breeders don’t just sell their kittens they hardly break even & breeding healthy, quality kittens is their goal.
Alicia has rehome quite some DLH or DSH for peanut compare to what she had actually spend on them & in short to tell you tht she is digging into her pocket for every cats she rehome.
If you talk logic I'll talk logic...and about the DLH from pershop dying within 1 week, is also another nonsense, I've bought 4 DLH in this hobby within 13 yrs and non died yet. My mom took one...another one was sold after a few years. And 2 still with me. Dun go curse and scare everyone that petshop cat will die on you bcoz there is also a lot of quality petshop around.
It’s true tht not all cats buy from a petshop will die on you but then there are also quite a number of cases they do happen. A responsible breeder will guarantee for the health of his kitten & will advise you as to how to feed or care for them when transfer to you to avoid any unfortunate happening & how many petshop will.
OK neither am I saying that all petshop are very caring....its something like if we buy a BMW of coz for the price you pay you get special quality inspection and more cares are given to the production of the cars. If you buy a proton you dun expect the quality and treatment of a BMW (and we wont be dumb enuf to try to register the cat like who mention earlier)
Ppl with lower budget also has the right to enjoy the hobby, dun go tell me with my RM500 I'm not rich enuf to buy a long hair kat and have to resort to SPCA for a RM15 kat. I've been there.
I’m not sure if you can still adopt a DLH from SPCA for RM15 but I’m sure you can get a DLH not hving to pay anything like RM300 or more. You will be surprise tht sometime you might get a pedigree (mostly retired cat) for around tht price or free & of coz we are talking abt responsible breeder who know who you are & are truly comfortable with you.
And about your example of daughters..."you dun sell your daughters". And when they neuter the kittens as far as I'm concern it is to cut the risk of competitions! and not some so noble idea about strays in the streets, coz if you breed a pedigree with my kats standard DLH and selling at RM100, I can guarantee you get a long que at your front door. If you cannot sell pls pass to me I sell it for you..want????? please answer me this also.
I don’t see which part of Alicia post mention abt selling yr daughter.
I’m a breeder I don’t neuter or spay my kittens just bcoz I’m afraid of competitions & I don’t see how I can monopolize it too. There are many MC breeders out there who easily sell their kittens for a much lower price then mine & I hv never for once consider threaten & for yr info my competitors are the 1 in the show hall & not them.
If you wanna do biz...just do your biz and dun put down your competitor with nonsense. You dont see BMW speading rumours about proton or kancil very dangerous to your life, no airbags surrounding you like DTS sound system. Because they know, ppl with lower budgets also have the rights to enjoy driving or keeping kats...and this is human life we're talking about right???
Breeding is a bad investment. It shud only be taken as a passion & it is truly a very expensive one too.
BYB & kitten mill breed them only for profit & you can be sure they don’t give a damn abt passion for this cats. Many BYB & kitten mill or soon to be BYB will feel offended for what I hv said but tht’s the fact & I don’t give a damn.
