They seems quite young for the need to think about hmhm.
Russians can be early, but they are not known to be extremely early.
So, not yet, but perhaps in a couple of months if you want to safeguard.
About spaying, I presume it can be done anytime now if you wish to have them neutered.
But as you do have pedigree cats, observe:
if they are fine, it may be desirable for them to leave one or two litter each (not together of course). Im talking perhaps most for the boy now.
Good breading needs many individuals, ie both females and males. Having only a few "matador"-studs is NOT good for the breeding as such. If somebody would say it is disastrous - I wouldnt object too much.
It is also NOT necessary for the used cats to be absolutely top cats. They must be healthy in body and psyche and very good in type, but they dont need to be absolute top.
Even good "above average" are useful - and in fact necessary - for a good breeding programme.

Him and Symphony get on so well but havn't been amerous.. mmm.. yet ! Perhaps I could seperate them when I leave the house? Any opinions on this! Also Amadeus and Symphony are a bit insepreble if I shut one in the kitchen without the other they start meowing and scratching the door. What can I say? They're in love but I just don't want them to er be that much in love ! Help ^_^??!!
