US & Canada Ferret Breeders

Referenced from the 2016 AFA Breeder List. I have not tested any of the phone numbers. Many breeders are willing to meet halfway or at a ferret show to help you pick up a ferret - ask!

Green means they ARE breeding and I have confirmed it. Grey means they are on hiatus.                                                                                                                      Last Update 1/11/2025

                                                                                                     Questions to ask breeders before adopting

BLACKLIST

CDC Pet Breeders Inc - Dave Theissen (Manitoba)

They dock ferret tails. Completely unethical. That's all I need to know to not recommend them

“The only people in Western Canada with intact ferrets”

Neuters & descents at 5 weeks old. Photos of kits look very unhealthy (not alert, puffed tail, scared stance, overweight, abnormal head structure). Location unknown, other than 1 hour from Calgary - they do not allow visitors. They use multiple people to sell their kits (some potential buyers have talked with a woman, some a man). They tattoo their ears in a clump of 6 dots.

Carolina Ferrets - Kathy Jordan (North Carolina)
Also goes by North Carolina Ferrets and Danish Angora Ferrets

Banned from the AFA for knowingly adopting out sick ferrets, feeds Purina catfood, does not provide health or bloodline records, neuters too early, uses wood shavings. She DOES NOT let potential adopters visit the premises. Uses your photos without permission 🙃 RETIRED AS OF 2021!

C&D Feeds, “Baby Ferrets & Peacocks”

Local place in Mohave Valley, AZ.

Emily Brooke Jeffrey

Located in Florida. Backyard breeder, does not socialize her ferrets, feeds dollar store cat food. Her ferrets are ending up in rescues all over.

Emylee Carol (Ferret Kingdom) / Cutler Christie

Unknown location - she will tell you she’s located wherever you are. Neuters & descents too early… may not even breed? Suspected flipper. Has taken people’s money and ghosted them. SCAMMER.

Charitie Shively

Breeder in McGregor, MN. Does not believe that females intact are at risk of death from aplastic anemia if they are not neutered/chipped/jabbed, and encourages owners to make their jills suffer through it. Unwilling to discuss her breeder experience, is strongly anti-vet. Pulls kits away from mom at 6 weeks, only provides 1 hour of play for her kits.
