Hi,
I am also pretty new to breeding, been at it for 2 years now. I've been reading every bodies posts here and I have to say I have had some of the same problems. I would have to say making sure you have enough finances is very important. Emergency vet visits are expensive! And you will have them. I got in touch with other breeder through the list on TIBS. My faves are Azana Bengals, Gogees and Aluren Bengals. I have all of these bloodlines now. They are some truly gorgeous babes
I research the breed on the internet for about a year before I bought and I am still learning! My advice is ask questions as much as you can. Some of these ladies have been doing this for a decade or longer and have valuable info that has helped me countless times.
