I don't understand, you could quite easily list everything you do that is included (health screening, chipping, vac's e.t.c) then put the price at the bottom, if your site has everything there on how you breed kittens/how good your set up is e.t.c then thats great and will get people interested, however i think you will lose a lot of interest when you don't put a price. Actually i know you will lose interest as i myself am not bothering with these people, as you said anyone looking for a pedigree cat will know the cost but as I'm sure your fully aware there is great variation in cost from as low as £250 to as high as £1k, so how am i meant to work out how much 'breeder A' wants for their kittens? guess? phone/email you say, ok so ill phone/email 50 breeders? then wait days for a response from all of them to decide what i want to do? ridiculous.
I think its just the dealer seeing what they can get out of each particular buyer, there simply isn't another explanation.
Again you have said you don't want the potential new owner of one of your kittens to be price orientated yet clearly the quality of the kitten IS price orientated, quality costs money everyone knows that, so if you have a good a setup and your kittens are of a good quality then they will be more expensive than a lower quality setup and lower quality kitten and yet no one knows how much more expensive because you won't price them until the second you answer the phone to a potential buyer, its almost as if its like 'how much money do i need today'
- This post is going to come across as though i am directing it personally at you and i assure you i am not and i apologise if you are offended its just a generalisation from what i have seen and everything i have said is just my opinion.
