As well, there's a difference between pretty patterning and *good* patterning. Are your spotteds horizontally flowed? Vertically flowed? Randomly flowed? Do you have good contrast, size, and acreage? Rosettes? Are your marbles tri-coloured? Do they have good chaining? Do they have the bulls-eye pattern? I'll have to dig up the research, as we got her from another breeder down the road, but she's birthed at least one prize winner to my recollection. Yes, please do. I'd love to know who sold inexperienced breeders a girl with breeding rights without mentoring. Orchid See Orchid's Kitties! -- http://nik.ascendancy.net/bengalpage Want a Purebred Cat?
