hey everyone, i have found a breeder that I really like, but i just dont know what to ask her!?!?! I want to make sure that i am confident in her/ her kittens. Hopefully I will have asked her some more questions before I go to see her kittens.
Thanks!

Ask if the parents have been DNA tested for PKD and if so, ask to see the test results. If not RUN, don't walk, away from the breeder! Ask for a copy of the health guarantee and contract and READ it. Make sure you understand it before you fall in love with the kitten. There are things I would consider that others may not feel important. Since I breed and show, I would want to know the pedigree and if the breeder shows. I would like to know if she would be willing to help with any problems and give advice if needed. This is just a few things I consider. Remember, she is going to be asking questions of ou to so don't be offended - she wants to be sure the kitten goes to the best home.

A good breeder should also ask you a lot of questions, maybe for a vet reference, and about your home.

You should ask for health records like Lynda said, PKD proof of DNA tests... PROOF, not just the word of the Breeder, references from pet owners, vet reference, visit the home of the Breeder if you are close enough to see how the cats look and how they live, and the bottom line is you can never ask enough questions.. if they want to they can get over on us.

We are always happy wanting a kitten and seeing one you would love to take home... but, you must be very careful.

Guess what guys? The breeder I was talking to sent me a very rude email after I asked to see some pictures!! So, if any of you know of any breeders near home, it would be helpful!!!
Also merry Christmas!

Sounds like you are wise to look elsewhere. I have no experience with breeders firsthand (mine are rescues, some BYB's castoffs, perhaps). Charm is cheap, so do ask questions as the breeders at this website indicated.

Take care. You will find the perfect match in the new year.

Not a good sign!

Sorry I can't help you find a breeder either. Like Barbara, mine are all rescues. Now, if you would consider adopting a rescue Persian, I could help.

Search for Persians or Himalayans under Petfinder.com. There are tons of rescue kitties in need of home. We all love kittens, but these rescue kitties are just adorable too!

I would be glad to help, but I'm confused.

You have mentioned goldens and silvers. What 'color' are you looking for?
You have mentioned kittens and rescues. What ages would you consider?
