Health


Swedish Maine Coon-katten started year 2000 a health programme against Hip Dysplasia (HD) and
2004 a health programme against Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). 1:st of June 2010 these health programmes were transmitted to Pawpeds.

Pain can cause bad behaviour and aggression and that is a real pity so because of that and that we don´t want to contribute to bad health.
We test our breeding cats due to Pawpeds Health programme against Hip Dysplasia (HD) and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM).

At a meeting in Bucharest Romania May 2011, FIFE (Fédération Internationale Féline) took a desicion:
a recommendation that all Maine Coons shall be tested against HD and PL before mating.
