Blue Bengals
|
I fell in love with the blue Bengal
some time ago – when I saw a particularly beautiful blue marble girl. Her coat was such an incredible colour
that I didn’t understand why blues weren’t as popular as browns, snows or silver Bengals.
This year is a year of change for our blues. Jacky and I have been working hard over
the last couple of years, and are now producing some stunning rosetted blues,
and blue snows.
Unfortunately the blue Bengal can only be shown
at TICA shows under ‘new traits’, and does not qualify for championship,
but if we can produce some beautiful blues, and get some interest from
other breeders, then we may be able to get the blue accepted.

THE BLUE SNOWS

 Purebliss Alpha
Some of you will already have seen Alpha at shows
– she is a truly gorgeous girl, both in terms of her type, and her
stunningly delicate blue-snow colouring.
Purebliss Troubadour
 Now we also
have Troubadour (Roo) – our new blue snow boy,
 Eriador Sage
and Sage – another blue snow girl.
With our other blue and snow carriers, these are
the babies who will be growing up to have the blue snows of the future here
at Eriador cats.

Girls

Silverglam BlueSky (aka Sky)
Spotsalot Quicksilver x Glitterglam Tansy
Pedigree
 I
am so pleased that Jill Fyfe was willing to let me have this beautiful blue
girl
Sky has really deep blue markings on the palest
background – so for a blue her definition is exceptional.
She is best friends with Vanilla – our blue-eyed snow
girl – and they spend most of their day playing or sleeping together.
Sky has given us some beautiful kittens, but will
be retiring in 2009, after her final litter with our new silver boy Louie.

This is our lovely silver girl, Tanny. She is the daughter of BlueSky, and has her
mothers lovely gentle nature and such a soft silky coat.
Tanny is part of our blue breeding program as she
is a silver that carries blue, and is taking over from her mother Sky, who
is due to retire.
She has had some stunning rosetted kittens with
really clear coats, and we are looking forward to her having her first blue
silver babies.

Eriador Kari
Eriador Deluge x Purebliss Moonlight
 Sweet little
Kari – she has her mum’s big sad eyes, and is such a gorgeous girl, but
definitely doesn’t like her photo being taken.
Kari is the daughter of Del – our blue boy who is
now at Budletts, and our silver girl Moonlight.

The Boys

Tedith Blue Genes
MajesticPride Spot On x Glitterglam Tedith Pearl
Pedigree
 Jacky
Bliss, Babs Ahmed and I jointly own this lovely little blue boy.
He has gorgeous rosettes and really strong
definition in his colour. Our thanks
to Jenny Chatfield for letting us have him.
Gene really is a lovely boy – he has a wonderful
temperament, and super colour. We
are really looking forward to having his kittens in 2008.
Gene carries seal lynx point (blue-eyed
snow) – so hopefully will be siring
blue snow kittens for us.

Eriador Onion
RoyalBG Blue Knight x Bitzaglitz Haze
Pedigree
 Haze and BK
have produced some exceptional kittens, and Onion is one of the best. He has his father’s big rosettes, and a
wonderful head.
He’s only a baby at the moment, so another year
before we will be having his first kittens, but hopefully they will be
worth the wait.
