I have some beautiful persians that I am interested in breeding. I am a first time breeder, and my male is finally old enough to be bred (he is 1 year old)...my female (2 years old) is in raging heat...walking around the house howling and presenting for days and days. I assumed that the two of them would naturally figure things out...but he is absolutely not interested in her in any way! Is this normal for a young male who has not bred before? She is throwing herself at him and he hisses at her and walks away.
