Breeders offering Oriental Shorthair

What to check when choosing a Oriental Shorthair breeder

1. 1.Animal-handling business registration

2. 2.Parent animals and living conditions

   Whether you can see the parents, the housing space, and day-to-day care tells you a lot about a breeder. How questions are answered matters as much as the photos.

3. 3.Health records

   Ask for health check and vaccination records, plus genetic test results where they exist. Agree on the scope of any post-handover guarantee in advance.

4. 4.In-person inspection and disclosure

   Japanese law requires an in-person inspection and disclosure of key terms before purchase for Oriental Shorthair. Ask why if a sale would complete entirely online.

5. 5.At least 56 days (8 weeks) old

   Selling dogs and cats under 56 days old is restricted by law. Check the date of birth against the planned handover date.

6. 6.Support after you take them home

   How much follow-up advice and help you get varies by breeder. This is a long relationship, so weigh how easy they are to reach.
