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 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.

His temperament is superb and he just loves to cuddle everyone. His last litter of kittens were reared with him and he was so happy teaching them how to use the exercise wheel and play chase, that we felt very guilty when they went to their new homes!

GCCF Imperial 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 extrovert, 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 two Reserves on the way. We then showed him in the Imperial Class at Bucks, Oxon & Berks and were not disappointed. He won the Imperial & Best of Breed. He also won all his other classes and went on to get Best Foreign Adult in Show. Since then, he has gone from strength to strength, achieving his Imperial Grand Champion status at the London Cat Club Show on 11th June.

'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.

Under the GCCF system, we can only 'make up' one cat at a time, so 'GB' was not shown as a youngster. However, his time finally came last 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. He then went on to do the same in the Imperial and Grand classes. The icing on the cake was the 2011 Ocicat & Bengal Show where he won the Olympian, Best of Breed, first in all his classes and went on to win Overall Best Exhibit in Show. We hope his show career will continue to blossom - he is one hell of a cat - and we love him dearly!

We very proudly present Imperial Grand Champion Typhast Krakatau. This beautiful boy is providing an excellent outcross for us with a strong rosetted gene pool to help us progress with our breeding programme.

We showed him at three consecutive shows as an adult and he swept the board undefeated, becoming a champion at our own Bengal Breed Show on 23rd July 2011, before becoming a Grand Champion at the Ocicat & Bengal Cat Club Show on 29th October 2011 at just 15 months old. He sired his first litter of kittens at just six months with Ch Typhast Quantumleap and they are superb, as are the kittens he sired with Typhast Trugem two weeks later. (At this point we put him outside in a stud house - beautiful though his kittens were, we were likely to become over-populated - his enthusiasm for his work was getting too much!)

It is so rewarding to see the beautiful rosettes appearing in the various litters he sires, especially when integrated with Hurricane's lines, and we can again thank our friend, Gene Ducote for arranging for Shogun, Krakatau's father, to spend some time with us giving us a healthy rosetted outcross practically unrelated to our own lines. The future is exciting!

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 three Seminars where he has won everyone's heart with his beauty and affectionate laid-back behaviour. Because he was a TICA Champion we did not show him, having too many other younger boys to promote the breed. However, when our club was looking for entries in 2010 for the show, we entered him to make up numbers. Much to our delight he won his first CC at 9 years old! We then entered him for two more shows which he also won and became a GCCF Champion in three straight shows

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.

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.

Dune is out of Saris Wizard, the 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.

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.
