Follow these essential guidelines for responsible Persian cat breeding
Optimal Breeding Age
Male Persian Cats (Studs)

Persians mature slowly. Wait until full physical and emotional maturity before breeding for healthiest kittens.
Health Testing Requirements
- PKD genetic test - MANDATORY (both parents must be negative)
- FIV/FeLV testing - MANDATORY
- Heart screening (echocardiogram) - MANDATORY annually
- Eye examination by veterinary ophthalmologist - MANDATORY
- Blood type testing - MANDATORY (prevent neonatal isoerythrolysis)
- Hip scoring - Recommended for breeding stock
- Dental examination - Recommended
- Ringworm culture - Recommended before mating
Comprehensive health testing ensures you're producing healthy, long-lived Persian kittens.
Breeding Frequency
Queens: Maximum 2 litters per year, 3-4 litters lifetime
Minimum 6 months between litters
Quality breeding focuses on health and temperament, not quantity. Allow queens proper recovery time.
Excellence in Persian Cat Breeding
- Facial Structure Selection: Balance beauty with health by selecting for more open facial structure to improve breathing and reduce eye tearing.
- Color Genetics: Understanding color inheritance helps predict kitten colors and avoid lethal gene combinations in certain color pairings.
- Grooming Excellence: Daily grooming prevents matting and maintains coat health. Teach new owners proper grooming techniques for lifelong care.
- Cattery Hygiene: Maintain pristine conditions to prevent respiratory infections and ringworm, which Persians can be susceptible to.
