Can anyone recommend a Manx breeder?

I grew up with two Manx cats, and we have decided we would like to add one to our family, but I am really struggling to locate any breeders. They were such lovely pets - so much a part of the family - and I'm starting to worry that there no longer any UK breeders . Does anyone know of any? We are more than happy to be on a long waiting list, so speed of getting a kitten is of no issue!

Their really significant health issues including spina bifida have made them much less popular. Particularly has they have much shortened life.

Having researched into this, it doesn't look like this was ever as much of an issue as it was initially thought to be (poor quality studies skewing results), and is even less of an issue now due to diversifying the genetic pool using US and EU Manx cats, and genetic testing. The average Manx cat now lives 18-20 years, so more or less standard cat life expectancy.
