Always open for new breeds and
colour varieties
On our shows new breeds or colours are specially promoted:
- They always can win fine prizes.
- They also have a special prize reduction when entering our shows.
Our breeding rules are very liberal when it comes to colours
or to breed with cats from other federations:
- There are no restrictions on crossing different colour varieties.
- There are no restrictions to limited federations. Our breeders can
import cats from whatever federation they want.
- There are no restrictions which studs from which federations are
used.
Our breeding rules are tough when it comes to the point of
health:
- Our main breeding interest is to breed healthy and vital cats.
- We are the leading organisation in Europe, that all kittens to go
must have
a health certificate with a health screening test signed by an approved veterinarian.
- Kittens can only leave there cattery and home with a minimum age of 14 weeks.
- Therefore the amount of litters per cat within a year is restricted
by our rules.
- We are also playing a leading role here: All our white cats must have an audiometric hearing certificate, which
is also registered on their pedigree.
- All cats - kittens and adults - to go must be vaccinated against panleukopenia and respiratory diseases, which must be also certified by an approved veterinarian in their screening test.
When going abroad the kittens must be also vaccinated against rabies.
- All cats to go must be marked with a microchip.
The number of the chip is also written on the vaccination passport and the pedigree.
- All Norwegian Forestcats which are used for breeding must
have a DNA test for GSD IV (Glycogenosis type IV) or it is
proofen by DNA tests that the respective parents are free of GSD IV
- All Burmese cats which are used for breeding must have a
DNA test for GM II (Gangliosidosis type II) or it is proofen
by DNA tests that the respective parents are free of GM II
- All Siamese- and Oriental cats which are used for breeding must have a
DNA test for PRA (Progressive retina atrophy) or it is proofen
by DNA tests that the respective parents are free of PRA
