Thoughts on Breeding British Shorthairs: Debunking Myths and Offering Practical Advice

There’s an answer below saying that breeding a blue British Shorthair with a blue – and – white British Shorthair results in impure bloodlines. I really can’t stand this. If you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense, okay? Do you know what bloodlines are? Do you know what bloodlines the blue and blue – and – white British Shorthairs have? Do you know the differences between various bloodlines? Knowing nothing, yet randomly replying to others can easily mislead people.

The following is the main content.

There’s no such thing as being “valuable” or “not valuable”!

Let me tell you, if the genes of a blue – and – white male cat are unstable, the kittens born with color patches on their faces are even harder to sell.

First, let’s state the conclusions:

Choose an upright – eared male cat for breeding.

Preferably, choose a male cat with bloodlines, such as Matchmaker bloodlines or Australian bloodlines.

If it doesn’t have bloodlines, look at its appearance. The appearance determines the price, and the color comes second.

Don’t think your little baby is not valuable. Many owners of stray cats adopted home dote on them like their own children.

After home – breeding, the selling price can’t compete with that of catteries and pet stores. So, I suggest you don’t seek excitement. Breed blue British Shorthairs to get all blue – colored kittens. They can be sold for 800 – 1200 yuan each later, and they are easy to sell.

Breeding a blue – and – white with a blue British Shorthair will produce blue – and – white kittens, but it’s uncertain whether there will be color patches on the kittens’ faces, whether they will have black noses, or whether their backs will be mottled. If they are extremely ugly, they won’t be easy to sell.

Go online and learn more about genetic breeding issues, such as what colors will result from different breeding combinations, which genes of the parents are more important, and how to judge the appearance of British Shorthairs.

If you’re just breeding for fun, then choose a blue British Shorthair. If you can’t master the blue – and – white color pattern well, the kittens born will be extremely ugly and unsellable.

Looking back, I feel I was too fierce (hahaha, sorry everyone). I definitely didn’t mean to be fierce to the person who asked the question. I just can’t stand those who know only a little and then go around giving long lectures to others. It’s really a waste of time.

If novice cat – owners have any questions, they can follow my official account: Cat’s General Store.

Common cat – raising problems will be covered.

If you have any questions, you can also private – message me and we can discuss them together.

Thank you all, dear cat – loving “rich dads”, for your likes. I, Xiao Jiang, am deeply grateful.

After waking up from a nap, I found that the number of likes has reached 78, and the number of followers of my official account has also increased. You don’t know how happy I am.

If we talk about appearance alone, if I offer you a cat with a big round face for 1000 yuan, you will definitely think I’m a fraud. But if this little cat costs 3000 yuan, you will definitely think it’s worth the price.

So, sometimes it’s not that blue British Shorthairs are becoming less and less valuable, but that the blue British Shorthairs you raise become uglier as they grow up, and you still want to breed a litter. Then the kittens born will be less and less valuable.

The 5th supplement: I saw that someone liked my answer again. I still want to say that whether a cat is valuable depends on its appearance, people’s love for it, and the difficulty of breeding it. In China, the least valuable cats are probably Chinese rural cats, but they are very expensive abroad.

For breeding, breeding blue British Shorthairs to get blue – colored kittens is the simplest. Why do I say so?

Breeding a blue British Shorthair with a blue – and – white may produce: blue British Shorthairs and blue – and – white ones. The appearance of the blue – and – white kittens is uncertain. There may be problems such as color patches, black noses, uneven face – splitting, and incomplete back – coloring.

But breeding blue British Shorthairs with each other won’t have such problems. This is the simplest combination.

Recently, I’ve also been looking for new British Shorthair breeding males and females. I spent 20,000 yuan on a blue – and – white male kitten as a breeding male. I plan to buy a blue – colored female kitten as a breeding female next year. In fact, I’ve also been looking for beautiful cream – and – white British Shorthairs in the market, but there are too few beautiful ones now… Maybe I just haven’t encountered good ones in China…

Oh well, never mind.
