Maine Coons are purrfect family members because of their gentle nature, playful personalities, adaptability, and intelligence. I have a small program of one stud and three queens--all are family house-pets. Maine Coons are great for first time pet owners, wonderful for families with children, and are typically friendly with gentle dogs. They are usually adaptable to different lifestyles and personalities. They are nick-named, 'the cat like dog' and are known as the gentle giants of the cat world. However, they are NOT dogs.
Our Maine Coons have Champion lines, TICA registered, sweet temperaments, and DNA Health Tested for Congenital Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), Cystinuria, Erythrocyte Pyruvate Kinase (PKD) Deficiency, Factor XII Deficiency, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)/Spinal Muscular Dystrophy, and Blood-brain Barrier Dysfunction. Our kittens go home vaccinated, socialized with our family, litter trained, and healthy with a Two Year Health Contract.
All Maine Coons in a breeding program should be DNA tested for Congenital HCM, PKD, and SMA. Congenital HCM is a congenital heart defect, found in 3 out of every 10 untested Maine Coons. Do not let any breeder talk into thinking that their adult cats do not need this test. Congenital HCM will show up between 1 and 4 years old (on average) and is not curable. Both parents need to be tested to ensure that the kitten does not have the Congenital HCM gene. Have the breeder provide proof of DNA testing. Read More Here.
All of our pets go to the Bluffton Animal Clinic, in Indiana. If you have a quick question about me as a breeder (my name is Daphne Riggs), you may give them a VERY brief call--please respect their time, as they are a business, and kind enough to be a personal reference for me. We are located in Montpelier Indiana and if you live faraway, we have personal long distance travel options available too.
