Hm, I didn't know auctioneers tell bluntly kitties are not good enough lately!
It makes sort of sense on the other hand I absolutely don't like a job in which I need to burn down an other's tender love and care and it is so subjective too.
Must be shocking for newcomers who are used to Addicts chat where every kitty gets the same amount of hooray's.
I think, and I always have done it that way, people should really breed for combinations they like.
Those kitties are often valued for their esthetics.
Maybe not by auctioneers, perhaps they look for the latest and the greatest even if it has one desired trait with a hyper recessive hidden, but there is certainly market for pretty.
I only dig up money if a new trait is pure and if I feel it is pretty and I can easily implement it in a line.
Or when a kitty is so gorgeous that I just urge it.
The latest and the greatest will be old news soon enough and only the fact that the trait is considerd pretty or not remains in peoples memory (also totally subjective ofcourse).
If it is not liked much the trait is doomed to dissapear by it's ultra recessive hidden.
Sadly many people tend to only love recessive while there are so many gorgeous traits on the dominant end..
I can't say no to a well bred pure new trait if I like it and I don't care if it is dominant or recessive I even slightly prefer dominant traits and to combine old furs with new traits.
I prefer that because soon the market will be bombed with the recessive to the point we have seen it more than enough.
Most people do not take the time to breed a trait pure as it cost more time and time is money.
By the time a pure trait is established it is old news again.
I always think those boxes sit good in my cattery till people have totally forgotten that trait even existed.
At those moments I used to have the buyers and for good lindens too.
It costs some patience though keeping a hold on your pure trait, what once was a hot trait, in a lovely combination.
I would not want to breed an other way though it is just not my game.
Nowadays I have so many boxes in my cattery but I am done with selling them on the market.
I purely breed for fun these days and only a very few kitties.
My kitty boxes I use to implement in other projects for which they are so useful.
I just so love these furballs and I blame the entire KC team wholeheartedly they've made these buggers so cute!
