Thank you everyone for the reply! I think we picked our girl. I attached two photos. First one is the girl we picked, and the second photo is her brother who I wanted really bad - I mean he looks show quality already minus the rib bar at such a young age - but my SO wants a girl and he's very adamant about having only girl pets
.
I know personality is most important but after seeing them I know we won't be able to tell at this point.
We saw the 3 week old kittens from two litters very briefly to just see the coat because the breeder did not want to take them away from their mother for too long. We also did not handle the kitten, which is probably a good thing for their age. Its quite stressful for them and the mother the breeder said. We can interact more with the kitten when they are 5 weeks or older. Since we have first pick between the two litters I choose the best girl from Queen Crystal , who comes from champion bloodline (SierraGold It's Vegas Baby is her grandfather) and is quite gorgeous and a larger female. The father is King Mufasa who the breeder does not own, I don't have much information except his SBT # is SBT 110211 048. I couldn't find anything about him on the bengal pedigree website, but I did see that he is a stud for many breeders around southern California.
Yes she wouldn't socialize the kitten with the dog until after they are weaned and have their first vet visit.
I am very confident in this breeder in socializing the kittens and being reputable. I met breeder's queens and her one stud she owns, they were all super confident and friendly cats. Now its just a waiting game for the next two months until we can take her home.
