Why Choosing a Breeder Who Shows Their Cats Matters, Even for Pet Owners!
When selecting a breeder, you might wonder why it’s recommended to choose one who shows their cats, even if you have no intention of participating in cat shows yourself. Does this focus on show standards seem excessive or elitist? It’s NOT, and here’s why.
