We who run Vadmarken’s British Shorthair breeding are Margareta Ernevad and Olle Jandermark . We live in a century-old apartment in central Malmö. We are both captivated by cats and that mysteriousness which surrounds those fantastic creatures. After having been introduced to a fantastically beautiful British tomcat at a cat show and being privileged to take care of Bokbacken’s Daisy, our first British Shorthair in 2000, we got the idea of starting our own breeding.
We applied for and received our breeding name in 2003 which consists of the last three letters of our both surnames.
Our goal is to breed healthy beautiful kittens with nice temperaments.
In order to minimize the cases of defects and diseases we constantly work with a certain health program.
We regularly scan our cats for HCM as well as test them for PKD. We also do our utmost to avoid inbreeding.
HCM is a cruel and insidious disease that can appear even later in life which means the scanning must be repeated over the years. We are even considering not to sell kittens to those who do not share our values. Bodil Helin at S*Kastanjeback’s has been of great help in our choice of breeding tomcats. We have also had the fortune of using her beautiful tomcats with their interesting pedigrees; colours and patterns that we appreciate so much. It is a privilege to get advice from such a competent breeder.
Raising cats, we do not consider a hobby, rather a way of living. Our cats are part of our family or more correctly, we are part of their family.
Nowadays, we cannot imagine ourselves a life without these wonderful animals which enrich our lives so much. Through are breeding we have made plenty of new friends; clients as well as colleague breeders.
