Bengal Studs

We are so pleased with this boy with his inky black rosettes on a silky gold coat – he is simply breathtaking. He is a son of Power Surge and like dad he is becoming
a large and very muscular boy. He is a great asset to our breeding programme and has brought together many of the good features from our old lines with the added bonus of doughnut rosetting and size from his father.

Show news: At The Southern Counties Cat Club Show on 30 January, Hurricane was Best in Show Foreign Adult, won his 4th Imperial certificate and was Best of Breed.

GCCF Grand Champion Typhast Vesuvius
Brown (Black) Spotted Bengal (76 30) (GCCF registered)

Vesuvius was the first home-grown boy we had out of Gogees Power Surge of Typhast. His mother Ch Typhast Extraspecial (Celia) comes from a long line of extravert, mouthy, personable cats with the most marvellous temperaments. We are delighted that Vesuvius has inherited all of these traits, with a delightful laid back affectionate attitude to life. From an early age he was a strong muscular lad showing all the mature attributes that we hope for in a Bengal. He had no problems becoming a GCCF Champion, which he did in three straight shows. With his lovely clear markings, soft plush coat, excellent type and strong muscular body, he then progressed to Grand Champion in a very short time, winning three Grands and 2 Reserves on the way

Greatballsofire is full brother to Dynomite and although they have the same pedigree, they are totally different in appearance. 'GB' (as he is known to his friends) carries the marble gene. He is a very large boy even by Bengal standards and he has (as his name implies) very large sorrel rosettes with darker outlines. He, again, is a very affectionate, outgoing, lad of lovely type and has sired some beautiful kittens.

We are still uncertain which of the brothers has the most to offer our breeding programme, so for the foreseeable future they both will continue to be at stud.

Under the GCCF system, we can only 'make up' one cat at a time, so 'GB' had not been shown until recently. However, his time finally came this year. Although he was over three years old, to our delight he sailed through, winning his three championship certificates consecutively, plus Best of Breed on each occasion, culminating in Best of Variety Foreign Adult at the Kentish. We are so proud of him, his temperament is amazing and he loved every minute of it.

(Sire: Gogees Casanova - Dam: Azanabengals J'LO of Typhast)

In order to help us broaden our gene pool and to compound our rosetting programme, Gene Ducote mated Azanabengals J’Lo of Gogees to Gogees Casanova and sent J‘Lo over to us pregnant on the pet passport scheme.

As both these cats are hlghly rosetted, the resultant kittens were stunning, but no girls, which was a shame as it was a mating that could not be repeated. We found it very difficult to decide which of the boys to keep, so we ended up running on two of them, each of which had something individual and special to offer.

Dynomite is a very striking cat who doesn’t appear to carry the dilutes. He has the most amazingly thick tail, goose- berry green eyes and dark rosettes that look as if they have been painted on. His temperament is brilliant and he never stops purring. We have shown him once in TICA where he became a champion and once at a GCCF Show where he won the challenge certificate.

(Sire: Gogees Casanova - Dam: Azanabengals J'LO of Typhast)

When we told Gene Ducote that we hoped to progress the whitened tummies in the UK, she very generously sent us her only white-tummied girl at the time, Gogees Centerpiece of Typhast. She came over, pregnant to Gogees Art Exhibit on the pet passport scheme. As so often happens, the litter was all boys, so once again, we had to keep a boy, as the mating could not be repeated. So yet another stud-house with bachelors' quarters was built! Striker is a most affectionate lad, climbing all over visitors, purring non-stop. He has some lovely clear rosettes with a pale-gold highly-glittered background and an ultra-soft silky coat. He also has a lovely muscular body and good type. Although his tummy is not pure white, it is very pale and he obviously carries the gene and will help in the jigsaw to produce this desired trait in our future cats. We were delighted when he made GCCF Champion, which he thoroughly deserved.

(Sire: Gogees Art Exhibit - Dam: Gogees Centerpiece of Typhast)

Another boy of very good type whom we are delighted to have in our breeding programme. Lancelot is out of High Voltage and Centerpiece, both very rosetted with good
coat quality. He has the excellent temperament that is synonymous with our breeding and combines lots of rosettes on a warm gold coat. Again, he is a big lad - and still growing!

(Sire: Jumanji's High Voltage of Typhast - Dam: Gogees Centerpiece of Typhast)

We are extremely delighted with this beautiful boy from Laura Ratliff. We sent his father Supreme Grand Champion Typha Jesshawk to Martha Battenfeld in the early days of British Bengals because our gene pool was too small to use him and he was too good to neuter. He proved his worth by becoming the first snow marble Supreme Grand Champion in the world. His son has beautiful blue eyes and great dark spot contrast on a pale ivory background and tons of glitter. He throws beautiful kittens, especially
snow marbles. He has been to two Seminars where he has won everyone's heart with his beauty and affectionate laid-back behaviour.

(Sire: Supreme Gr Ch Typha Jesshawk - Dam: Goldspurr Blythe Spirit)

Our thanks to Martha Brady for letting us have this beautiful boy. Voltage is a full brother to Jumanji's Mercury Rising of who was "Best Bengal kitten USA 2001-2002". Apart from his obvious excellent type, He has a fabulous tight, silky coat with rosettes that look like they were painted on. Kittens so far out of him have been stunning.

We cannot thank Gene enough for sending us this boy.
He has now grown into a big typy adult male and not only looks great with all of his rosettes, but has the sweetest temperament. His offspring are also following in dad's footsteps with impressive size, beautiful rosettes and very affectionate temperament.

(Sire: Gogees Art Exhibit - Dam: Gr Ch Brockenmoor Oceans Prisma of Gogees)

Gogees Wardance is full litter brother to Supreme Grand Champion Gogees Warpaint. Both of these boys have produced really super kittens so we were naturally over
the moon when Gene sent him to us to continue his good work. We had fallen in love with him as a young stud when we saw him at Gene’s Cattery, but we never guessed the day would come when we would have him in our own Cattery! He is a lovely gentle boy, putting type, colour and rosettes into his kittens. They also have the most outgoing adorable temperaments and are very addictive. Typhast Clearlyspecial is one of his kittens and definitely has the “wow” factor that he is so good at producing.

(Sire: Jumanji Rara Avis of Gogees - Dam: Ch. Gogees Lika Margae)

Dune is out of Saris Wizard, our white tummied boy whom we imported from the USA in April 2007. We already knew that Dancer carried the white tummied gene as does Centerpiece, so we hopefully had a good mix to encourage this very attractive feature in our future Bengals. Dune is part of the jigsaw and a very lovely part, with the added bonus of being totally un-related to any of our existing lines. He has the sweetest nature, lovely soft well marked coat and a very pale underside.

His mother was a beautiful clearly-marked white-tummied girl and we are very grateful to Carol Hebdon for letting us have a Wizard son back to continue this aspect of our breeding programme.

(Sire: Saris Wizard of Gogees - Dam: Eriador Moneypenny)

Once again we have our very good friend Gene Ducote to thank for Wizard. She found him when looking for a new line with the white tummied gene. She was not in a position to take on another stud long term so suggested that she used him whilst putting him through the pet passport scheme for us. This worked very well and he arrived a very happy well adjusted boy who hadn’t had to go through quarantine. Wizard has been with us a little while now and has proved himself to be all we had hoped for and more. His input into our breeding programme has been excellent and he is also a delightful lad to have around.

(Sire: Katznjamr Titan of Lakemountain - Dam: Granitebengals Miss Priss)

We had not intended to be involved with Silver Bengals, but having visited a cat show in Chicago in 2003, we were so impressed with these beautiful cats, that when Gene Ducote offered us Gunner, we couldn't refuse. Ths was a brilliant decision, as the kittens he is producing are stunning. We also have an added bonus in that he appears to be homogenous for siver and to date has not produced any brown-spotted kittens.
