"Bravo" was recently pictured in the Bengal Bulletin article "That Future is Now" by Jaen Treesinger as an example of the progress made in the Bengal breed with respect to paw-print rosetting.  He is currently with Sabine and family in Germany. Jaen's article as well as Judy Sugden's 1999 article "The Bengal of the Future." Both graphically show as well as explain alot about Bengal breed categories, standards and various development directions.

Introducing "Persephone" an F5 SBT out of Raya.  She's got amber eyes and just an over all incredible look. She is staying with us for showing/breeding. Seeing this kitten every day I still can't believe my eyes sometimes.

"Isis" is a good example very dark, rosetted kittens we have sometimes.  They are described as "cool-colored" meaning they have very little color and sport a unique sleak look. "Isis" is in Switzerland with our friend Diana at Sharatonga Bengals.

"Kiki" is out of Kumari's first litter and her sire is Vesuvio. She is basically exactly what we were hoping for from the cross - Kumari's contrast and type with Vio's dense rosetting moving towards something like a chaining effect. We hope to cross Kiki to a male who can contribute to and progress these attributes.

In July'07 Capri got a Best of Breed and a Final at the TICA Hurricaine Cat Show in Tampa FL as a scrawny 8 month old. She has filled out nicely since then. She has great contrast and a nice pattern. Capri also has a notably sweet disposition similar to her sire Vesuvio. We eagerly anticipate the arrival of her first litter with Phantom.

"Safari" (male#2 in 9-27-06) litter went to Debie of Jungle Encounters in Providence, RI. We thank her for sending these pictures.  Now that his color is coming in, his rosettes look even more amazing.

These two girls out Raya x Tumbleweed born 28 March 2007 are staying with us for show/breeding potential. One brown spotted and one melanistic both with tight, extremely clear, soft coats with lots of sheen and highly rosetted.

"Melania"

     

  "Fandango"

"Jupiter Ace" is our boy out of Fiorella's first litter with Vesuvio born January 2007.   Amazing chaotic flowing rosetted pattern with very light background and rufous filled rosettes. He's now enjoying pet life with the Dupont family.

Below are some pictures of a male melanistic kitten we nick-named "Double Take" which resulted from crossing Raya with Tumbleweed in early 2006. Melanistic kittens have an almost black background and jet black spots.  If you look closely you can see his rosetted pattern.
