Mtani is my first breeding girl who had 6 gorgeous brown spotted kittens in her first litter. She has a lovely butter coloured background with black arrowhead rosettes which have hollowed out nicely with a warm middle colour. Mtani has a very placid gentle nature which I'm sure is the reason that she took to giving birth so easy & dealt with it like she had done it a million times before!! I would like to give my appreciation to Connie & Stuart of Zawadi Bengals for letting me have such a gentle natured queen!
***MTANI WILL BE RETIRING FROM MY PROGRAMME WHEN SHE HAS RAISED HER CURRENT LITTER. IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF SHE COULD GO WITH ONE OF HER KITTENS, PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER DETAILS***

My first home bred queen Abooksigun Kinuko & what a cutie she is. I love her profile, her wild expression, her full white tummy which at now 2 I can say she is a full white tummied girl, her black markings which give her a wonderful contrast & she carries the snow gene! Kinuko is a very sweet girl & although it took a while for her to have babies it was certainly worth waiting for! Kinuko adored being a mummy & has given me a daughter with great type & so far a white tummy like herself, which fingers are crossed will stay too! I must say a thank you to Sue of Chataya Tonkinese for coming up with Kinuko's name which means 'child of silk' which suits her well as she does, feel like silk!!

This amazing girl is now at home. She is a complete sweetheart & I am over the moon with her!! The first thing you notice about this beautiful girl is her amazing eye colour, almost turqouise, just stunning! I would like to give a very BIG thank you to Libbie Kerr for giving me the opportunity & trust to own such a wonderful looking little girl, who I know will be invaluable to my programme. Aiyana's pattern flow is striking, no bullseye, pulled to the horizontal & she has very rich colouring. I love her thick tail & lovely head shape & I am really excited about her future babies. Aiyana is an F5, meaning she is 5 generations down from the ALC Art Decco.
Once again I cannot thank Libbie enough for this little girl & the contribution & knowledge Libbie has given the Bengal breed.
Other ALC's in Aiyana's pedigree, 8 generations from Centerwall, 8 generations from Kabuki & 10 generations from Leopole.

Our beautiful hombred girl for 2010, pictured here at 16 weeks & known affectionately at home as little Fishy!! She has an amazing profile, wonderful contrast with a golden background & her dads inky black rosettes. Her rosettes are opening slowly to reveal lovely chestnut brown centres. We are hoping to start her show career beginning of 2010 & hope that she takes to the show scene aswell as her dad. Future updates to follow. I am really looking foward to her future babies when paired with Moto & hopefully our upcoming new stud!!

Sire TICA TGC Akerrs Moonshine X Akerrs Aiyana of Abooksigun (USA Import)
This beautiful little girl is the result of a very special one off mating in the USA. She was bred by Libbie Kerr of Akerrs Bengals & is known as 'Tolie' at home, she is the image of her mother Aiyana & is sometimes known as 'mini me.' Not only is she similar in appearance to her but she seems to have also inherited her mums completely laid back personality with the bonus of carrying seal-lynx! This pedigree on her mums dads side is one of the healthiest known, so I feel very lucky that I was given the chance to add this lineage to my programme & I hope to continue to add healthy cats to the gene pool along with type & pattern.

This is another girl that I have decided to keep from that special mating. Once again she was bred by Libbie Kerr of Akerrs Bengals & is known as 'Tori' at home. Although from the same mating & another marble, she is quite different to her sister who is pictured above. Her head type is fantastic & just look at that roman profile, amazing!! Her coat isn't showing such vibrant colours as yet but it has a very soft luxurious feel to it & her tail is short & thick. Both the girls have great conformation & are pretty big for 6 months & I really do look forward to seeing what they can produce especially now that I know Rudy carries marble! I am enjoying watching both the girls mature & will update with photos when possible.
Sire RW SGC Jesmewlan Indian Ink X Dam Abooksigun Kinuko
This beautiful girl is grandaughter to my very first queen Zawadi Mtani & the very first offspring of Kinuko. I am very excited about watching her develop as so far she has a fantastic white tummy just like her mum, who at now 2, hers will stay. Her type is fabulous, nice wild expression, great profile & puffy nose leather with strong whisker pads & good chin. She is a complete maniac at the moment, everything is 100mph, just hope that her mums calming influence kicks in as she gets older!! Updates will continue as I watch her mature.
