Our Bengal Queens
It only seems 5 minutes ago that we started breeding, and I said I would just have one girl, maybe two. But I find Bengals so addictive - so our family has grown.
We love all of our cats, and try to give them the best possible life whilst they are giving us the pleasure of their kittens.
Purebliss Poledancer (Polly)
Purebliss Curtain Call x Dazzledots Private Dancer
This girl is so beautiful and has an outstanding pedigree, including Gogees Spotlights on Me, Azanabengals Stardust Dancer, Dazzledots Perfect Printz, DGC Gogees Centre Stage, QGC Medoz Malifoscent.
Her doughnut rosettes are gorgeous, she has little ears, lovely fat whisker pads, and a really thick tail.
Polly is a lovely mum, and we look forward to have having more kittens.
Polly has the ALC’s Baghara/Segura Khan, Bonzai, Kabuki, Maia Wild Heritage and Stoney in her ancestors.
Eriador Octopussy (known as Tuppence)
StarwindsUK Frodo x Eriador Moneypenny
One of Moneypenny’s daughters, Tuppence has a super thick tail, lovely black outlined rosettes, and is whited.
She is affectionate and cheeky - but does love being the centre of attention, and makes sure we know it with a very insistent shout to say she wants cuddles.
Tuppence is a devoted mother, and very attentive to her babies.
She comes from the ALC’s Abu, Baghara Khan, Bonzai, Kabuki, Maia Wild Heritage and Rajah Singh.
Eriador Euphoria
Medoz Ivan x Dazzledots Summers Bounty
As I watched Summer’s first two kittens being born, it was definitely with a sense of euphoria - and so Euphoria she became.
She is a delightful girl - she purrs the minute I go in the room, she’s cheeky, playful, and looks beautiful too.
A big thank you to Mara Summers and Jacky Bliss for all the support and advice - Euphoria is proof that breeders working together, and helping one another out, can make little miracles happen.
Euphoria comes from the ALC’s Bahgara Khan, Bonzai, Stoney (Hatfield ALC), Kabuki, Taro, and Maia Wild Heritage (Centerwall ALC).
Outlaws Love Me
Outlaws Jackpot x Outlaws Millwoukee
Thank you so much to Arnold and Sylvia for letting me have Love Me.
She has such a lovely head, thick tail, and super rosettes, and a wonderful pedigree including Stonehenge, Asaalah, Wildlove and Jumanji (to name but a few).
Love Me is a silver bengal with the ALC’s Art Decco, Bahgara Khan, Bonzai, Dominic, Mai Wild Heritage (Centerwall ALC), and Maya, in her lines
Love Me is retiring in 2010, and will be available as a pet once she has recovered from being neutered.
Eriador Tangle
Saris Wizard of Gogees x Eriador Moneypenny
Our first seal mink girl. She is beautifully rosetted, and has a clear whited tummy from her dam Penny, and her sire Wizard.
Tangle is such a sweet girl with a wonderful nature and she just loves her kitties, and fusses over them.
Tangle comes from the ALC’s Abu, Baghara Khan, Bonzai, Feliz, Kabuki and Maia Wild Heritage.
Purebliss Calamity (Jane)
Purebliss Bungalow Bill x Kia of Purebliss
Jane is the grand-daughter of our boy Furrari, and great-great grandaughter to our foundation queen, Arwen. This is the line that brought the whited tummies into our cats.
Jane is passing on her whited tummy to her kittens, and we are thrilled to haver her with us from Jacky are Purebliss.
Jane has the ALC’s Baghara Khan, Bonzai, Kabuki and Maia Wild Heritage in her line.
Purebliss Olga B
Medoz Ivan x Wicca Icicle Lill
I had a great friend at school called Olga - from primary, through grammar school and then she was one of my bridesmaids when I married. We lost touch for many years, but recently we found one another again.
I was so pleased when Jacky let me name this lovely girl of hers - and in honour of my school friend, she has been called Olga B.
She has lovely rosettes, and Ivans small ears, puffy whisker pads and thick tail - so we have high hopes for her future kittens.
Olga has the ALC’s Bahgara Khan, Bonzai, Kubla Khan, Stoney (Hatfield ALC), Kabuki, Taro, and Maia Wild Heritage (Centerwall ALC) in her pedigree.
Champion Eriador Quilotoa (Lotty)
Eriador Thunderball x Purebliss Calamity
We had a kitten called Furrari in 2006. He had the clearest coat I have every seen on a Bengal, with glossy black markings on a clear cream background. And he had a whited tummy.
Calamity and Thunderball both come from that same line, but aren’t too closely related.
So I mated them, and in their first litter I had the joy of having another kitten just like Furrari - but this time a girl - we call her Lotty.
She has glossy black markings on a pale tan background, with dark centered rosettes. She has never gone into the fuzzies as so many kittens do - she was born with the clearest coat, and it has stayed.
And to make it even better, she has a wonderful whited tummy.
We were thrilled when Lotty became a Champion at her first show.
Lotty has the following Asian Leopard Cats in her pedigree:
Abu, Baghara/Segura Khan, Bonzai, Kabuki, Maia Wild Heritage (Centrewall ALC), Pretty Lady, Rajah Singh, and Sly.
Slavess Azurite (Azzy)
Owlsdene Marbled Montague x Advish Babee Lemonade
Azzy has joined us from Ren Slaven - and she is a little gem. She is such a character - really cheeky, very loving, and constantly purring.
Her ‘best friend’ is our new Savannah girl - Ku. Since they both arrived on the same day, they have been inseparable, and sleep together, snuggled up in their duvet.
She will make a lovely addition to our snow breeding program, and we are looking forward to her having her first babies next year.
Princess
Eriador Trianna
StarwindsUK Frodo x Eriador Tangle
Tangle is approaching the time when we would normally retire our queens, so I was looking for a replacement for her.
Then Tangle have us her beautiful daughter, Trianna. She is so like her mother, other than she is brown spotted.
Her mothers lovely honey colouring has come through into her rosettes, and she has the most wonderful whited tummy.
Trianna has the following Asian Leopard Cats in her pedigree:
Abu, Baghara Khan, Bonzai, Feliz, Kabuki, Pretty Lady, Rajah Singh, Sly and Maia Wild Heritage.
