We realize that our vision of the perfect Bengal will never be acheived in one individual cat. Often, improvement in one area invariably leads to loss in another.
At Dazzledots, we give priority to health and temperament. Without health one does not have a cat; without breed character one does not have a Bengal.
Bengals are set apart from other breeds by their exotic pattern and type. There are varieties of pattern and color, and type is subject to interpretation.
This is our vision of the perfect Bengal cat:
- small ears with rounded tips
- large eyes
- convex profile
- deep, well finished chin
- light and non-ticked background color
- large rosettes set on a horizontal flow
- rosette outlines as dark as possible
- no rib bars
- spotted legs - front and back
- short, soft, tight-fitting coat with a glass-like finish
- high degree of glitter
- long, low-set body that creates a wild walk
- thick tail, carried low
- intelligent, sweet, interactive temperament
- purrs when handled
- makes biscuits with front paws when in a show stretch!
