Currently, the average price of blue British Shorthairs in the market is in the three – digit range, only a few hundred yuan each. Compared with breeds like golden shaded British Shorthairs and Devon Rexes, their market value is indeed a bit lower. However, in fact, whether it’s golden shaded British Shorthairs, blue British Shorthairs, cream – and – white British Shorthairs, or blue – and – white British Shorthairs, they all belong to the British Shorthair breed. In terms of the value of the pets themselves, there’s no real difference.
Rather than talking about the breed, it’s better to discuss the appearance. Let me show you a photo of my blue British Shorthair. Note: She is a 7 – month – old female cat.
Would you still say that such a blue British Shorthair is not valuable?
Of course, this is just my own cat. Returning to the original topic, why is the price of the blue British Shorthair breed low?
It has been in the Chinese market for too long, resulting in most pet – owning families’ first cat being a blue British Shorthair. That’s why many catteries have two selling methods: with breeding rights and without breeding rights. As the old saying goes, “rare things are precious”.
There are not many appearance requirements for most blue British Shorthairs. Because for this breed, there’s not much for customers to choose from. In the eyes of market customers, it’s just about whether the face is chubby or not. It’s not like golden shaded British Shorthairs, which are clearly divided into 25, 11, and 12 color types, nor is it like blue – and – white British Shorthairs with requirements for face – opening patterns. Basically, kittens in a litter of blue British Shorthairs all look the same.
Also, blue British Shorthairs have caused aesthetic fatigue among the public, and people are starting to accept more other cat breeds.
However, no matter what, the price of blue British Shorthairs in high – end catteries is not less than 8000 yuan. Just like the cat in my photo, I bought it from Beijing last year and spent more than 4000 yuan. Last year, the average transaction price of blue British Shorthairs was between 800 and 1500 yuan. As a person who has been breeding cats for so many years, why did I spend 4000 yuan on a blue British Shorthair? It’s because I pursue quality, nothing more.
Many people in the comments want to buy blue British Shorthairs or blue – and – white British Shorthairs. There is still a little female cat available now.
