hello everyone. ive just found this forum so i thought i would post this message before i go and investigate the rest of it. i have adored bengals for years but circumstances with my dogs, horses and an incredibly long, stressful and complicated house sale and subsquent purchase meant that i was not in a position to indulge my love of them. but we are now well and truely settled in our new house and im getting rather excited at the thought of finally being able to have one.
ive been searching around on the internet but there are thousands for sale and to be honest a lot of them seem to be from hardened breeders/dealers. so can anybody recommend some trustworthy breeders who breed and raise their kittens with love and pride. i am looking for a brown spotted one and possibly a silver spotted one also with good lineage. preferably with 150 miles of manchester.

i've got two beautiful brown spotted kittens, little brother and sister, from Lyndazbengals in Manchester. They are very sociable and have taken over our lives, can't imagine being without them! They are our first cats and Lynda was very helpful and answered all our questions. Would have no hesitation in recommending her. Good luck in your search

Sorry I haven't got any recommendations (I got my bengal from Jayuzuri in Bristol!) but just wanted to say...

Oh my gosh Diane... 5 bengals!?!? How do you cope!!

Welcome and good luck with your search Twee

thankyou everyone for all the info and the pms. im just waiting for hubby to arrive home from work and we are going to silver pride bengals this evening. i spoke to them earlier and she was extremely helpful and said she would explain what to look for in a good bengal kitten. she has 2 brown rosetted females available but she is thinking about keeping one herself. i dont think i will be able to tear hubby away!!!!!

does anybody have any from silver pride bengals?

.

That's fantastic news twee, let us know how you get on! I looked on their website and their queens and studs are beuatiful - did they tell you who the sire/dam was?

there are 2 litters. one from ezra and one from miri. the sire to both litters is malarchi. we are going up in a couple of hours. my camera is on charge dont worry!!!

Ezra and Miri are both stunners - I'm sure their kittens will be gorgeous! Hope the visit goes well. Don't take your chequebook or you may end up with more than planned lol!!

Great news. You will be delighted with Silverpride when you get there. Tell em Mollz said they owe me a phone call
I had one of their retired queens. She was a complete dream Check out the link below my sig for some pix
