I'd be in that 1%, if I could get a breeder to sell me an unspayed Maine Coon queen at all. There aren't nearly enough Maine Coons in the world and I would love to breed & sell pet-quality ones at cost, but "real" breeders don't even want to talk to you unless you're into showing.

They don't want you to drive down the price, and thus their profits, by increasing the supply. But all breeding should absolutely cease until every adoptable cat and dog has a home. Then let the 1% begin, but no selling, not even "at cost" which will quickly be stretched to include the cost of salaries for the breeders, the breeders' mortgages because the home is used for the breeding operation, the costs of acquiring the breeding animals, and of showing them, and of advertising/marketing, etc.
