Just read this and found it a bit depressing. I guess it underscores the need for prospective owners to do their homework with breeders. I never appreciated how much could go wrong with breeding.

I like Burmeses, Snowshoes, Maine Coons and British Shorthairs but for now I'll keep giving a home to rescue moggies when timing allows.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Haven't read the article yet but interestingly there was a thread on dog breeding on the forum, linked to an article elsewhere, might be worth having a look to see how they compare.
An interesting article

I also will continue with rescue cats much as I'd love a Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest cat.

Happy days with
