We started breeding 20 years ago with the siamese learning is a totally new experience regards the Bengals our first bengal was a pet. All our research, reading, raising cats is behind our cattery. Long-time breeders didn't have what newcomers have today to learn how to breed and show cats. Today we have the resources of the knowledge and wisdom, of the internet, which is an entire new way of being able to communicate and learn with people from all over the world.
Every litter shares new things to lean!

In my view, breeders have days that can be classed as highs and days classed as lows....we think about quitting because of the people more often than we should. Then we think about why we wanted to breed in the first place, we love the cats and truly enjoy the kittens! There are many joys and many disappointments, but for me, the love of the breed outweighs the sorrow of people.
For anyone reading this who is thinking about becoming a bengal breeder, please understand it takes a certain type of person to be a cat breeder. It isn't a matter of just putting two cats together. It isn't about money....trust me, you will max every credit card you own to continue to be able to enjoy your program. It isn't about having fun and traveling. Breeding involves total commitment: sleepless nights, sadness, cat people fights, money to put into the cattery and the well being of the cats, time's to show in order to understand what you need to produce. And these are just the basics!!
But when you place that kitten in someone's arms and see the love and bond between them, knowing you just spent several months raising that baby....it makes everything well worth it! Not everyone can handle the breeding and survive... that is why many people drop out in the first few years. I understand this very well:-)
Then again, there are people like me who will keep on ticking regardless, even if I do have my down days:-)
Our bengal cattery is healthy! We pour our self into it daily to continue to learn and to raise top healthy kittens. My kitties are very much a part of our family:-) They are very personable and loving...not the kinds that sit in the corner and just look at you. My babies love you back! Oh, and feel free to take a look at what I'm producing in kitten quality.
In summary, our goals are to breed and produce top cats, and to enjoy my cats!! While keeping everyone healthy and happy... including myself!
