Silver Bengal kittens and Silver Bengal cats

Silver Bengals Breeding Program

Foundation Stud and Queen

Silver is a somewhat newly recognized Bengal cat color by TICA and TIBCS, as of this writing. Because silver is a new color, breeders are challenged with the task of breeding with predictable results. We faced the same challenge with the browns. It took years of intense selective breeding to get true colors like we wanted. We knew we would be faced with this challenge when the silvers were recognized. It's going to take some time and experimenting to be able to predict what will produce the best silvers; but it's coming along quickly. Today, there are many Grand Champion and Supreme Grand Champion silvers. Our CH Legacie Chill Factor of Paragon Bengals stud is a TICA Champion. Not only is he a striking silver Bengal; but his offspring, as well, have been beautiful. He has been bred to browns and silvers, producing some awesome goldens and some wonderful silvers.

CH Legacie Chill Factor of Paragon Bengals

We are so grateful to Gene and Ken Ducote of Gogees for allowing us to bring this awesome silver stud into our cattery. We would also like to recognize Jill Orman of Legacie Bengals for breeding this outstanding Bengal! He will be the foundation of our new silver program. He brings so much to the table! He is not only a beautiful and nicely boned Bengal; but he is also a very sweet, affectionate, big guy! He is the son of WILDLOVE SILVER STARTER (Rosetted Silver Sire) and WILDLOVE ENCHANTEMENT OF LEGACIE (Rosetted BST Dam). He is the grandson of I.W. I.W. JUMANJI MERCURY RISING OF WILDLOVE (Rosetted BST). He has big, beautiful, green eyes you can get lost in; sharp contrast and nice acreage. His coat is very thick and tight. We are very excited about all the good things to come from Chill Factor! Chilly's photos by Helmi Flick

CH Bluewater BlackBerry Pearl

We are pleased to introduce Bluewater Blackberry Pearl as the foundation queen for our silver program. Our precious "Pearl" is the daughter of CH VICTORYBENGALS STEELY OF AALIYAH. Steely, a large Black Silver Spotted Tabby, received his championship status in his first TICA show and has been siring outstanding Bengals since that time. Steely just tested HCM negative upon arriving at his new home, Aaliyah Bengals. “Pearl’s” mother is LAKEWOOD PLATINUM OF BLUEWATER, a beautiful Black Silver Spotted Tabby. BLUEWATER ALTAMIRA OF AALIYAH (“MIRA”) is a young female from the same breeding as Pearl. Mira went to her first ACFA show at 5 months of age and competed in the New Breed or Color class against 4 adult Silver Bengals, two handsome males (one of which was TICA's Regional Winner last year) and 2 lovely females. The judges just loved her; she was awarded 4 Best NBC and 3 Second Best NBC rosettes in a total of 8 rings.
One of Pearl's sisters, BLUEWATER ATHENA was just named the BEST FEMALE KITTEN, the BEST SILVER KITTEN, the BREEDER'S CHOICE BEST SILVER KITTEN and the SECOND BEST KITTEN at ON SAFARI, Sept. 28-30, 2007.
BlackBerry Pearl's half-brother, TICA GRAND CHAMPION, ACFA DOUBLE CHAMPION BLUEWATER COLDPLAY of AALIYAH, also attended On Safari, 2007. He was named the BEST MALE CAT, the BEST SILVER CAT, and the BREEDER'S CHOICE BEST SILVER CAT. Cold Play was also named the WINNING CAT of ON SAFARI 2007; the FIRST silver to have this honor.
Thank you Jesse Bradford and Sam Underwood for allowing us the privilege of owning this spectacular silver female! Pictured here at 4 months of age. Bluewater BlackBerry Pearl's photos by Prattmandu Photography.
