How and when did you discover the breed?

10 years ago I was introduced to my first one through a good friend of mine. She had a beautiful, sweet, loving girl that inspired me to get my first one.

How did you become involved in breeding, & how long have you been breeding?

I have been breeding Maine Coons for 8 years and have also been involved in breeding dogs for over 30 years. However the Maine Coon Breed is my only focus now.

When I decided to work with [this breed] I spent a lot of time searching pedigrees, breed standards, health issue and all around best practices for maintaining a good environment for my cats and myself to live in.

Do you participate in shows?

I show my cats on a regular bases and feel this is and important activity for all breeders to engage in.

Keeping up with the standard and any possible issues that may arise with any breed is key to a healthy program.

Joining breed clubs also helps to understand breed specific organization (CFA, TICA) rule changes or legislative mandates.
